Fluorescent lamp operated at high frequency by the electronic ballast provide benefits like unnoticed flicker effect and higher luminous efficiency. This paper presents analysis of Half-Bridge type resonant inverter for Fluorescent lamp drive for stable characteristic and life improvement of lamp operated at high frequency. Also, it has described an electronic ballast design with the capability of high PF (Power Factor) and low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). The validity of designed electronic ballast circuit is confirmed by simulation and experimental results. The Designed electronic ballast is implemented successfully on 32W Fluorescent lamp system.
