Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for controlling the brightness of a fluorescent lamp or a plurality of fluorescent lamps according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the known circuit arrangements are well suited for controlling the fluorescent lamps with a diameter of 38 mm that have been in use for many years. In More recently, fluorescent lamps with a diameter of 26 mm are also used. The brightness of fluorescent lamps with a diameter of 26 mm cannot be easily controlled with the known circuit arrangements, since they have a higher ignition voltage compared to fluorescent lamps with a diameter of 38 mm, which the known circuit arrangements do not or cannot reliably achieve.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a circuit arrangement for controlling the brightness of fluorescent lamps with an increased ignition voltage, it being possible to continue using the previously used standard components.
- the invention advantageously makes it possible to continue using existing standard components for brightness control when converting lamps with a diameter of 38 mm to lamps with increased ignition voltage.
- An ignition device only needs to be installed.
- a circuit arrangement for brightness control of fluorescent lamps is shown.
- This circuit arrangement is based on a conventional arrangement of a fluorescent lamp 7 with a ballast 2, a heating transformer 4 for preheating the electrodes 9 of the fluorescent lamp 7, a dimmer 1 and a base load device 3.
- the Netzspan voltage with the phase L and the neutral conductor N is connected via the ballast 2 to one of the electrodes 9 of the fluorescent lamp 7 and also to the S connection of the base load device 3.
- the output L1 of the dimmer 1, which is in the dimmer 1 via a switch with the phase L is connected to a first connection of the primary winding of the heating transformer 4 and to the L1 connection of the base load device 3.
- the neutral conductor N leads to the N connection of the base load device 3, to a second connection of the primary winding of the heating transformer 4 and to the electrode 9 of the fluorescent lamp 7 which is not connected to the ballast 2.
- the secondary windings of the heating transformer 4 are each connected to the electrodes 9.
- the basic load device 3 includes an inductive load, which is connected to the terminals N and S, and a radio interference suppression capacitor between the L1 and the N - terminal.
- an incandescent lamp load eg 25W
- the outputs L1 and N of the dimmer 1 are switched, which results in better control properties when using fluorescent lamps 7 with a diameter of 26 mm than when using a base load device 3.
- the known ignition aid in the form of an ignition strip or a screen grid 5 can also be used advantageously for fluorescent lamps 7 with a diameter of 26 mm to improve the control properties.
- Such screen grids 5 are connected to earth PE or to the neutral conductor N via a protective resistor 8.
- an ignition device 6 is additionally according to the invention intended.
- the ignition device 6 supplies synchronous ignition pulses to increase the phase gating voltage at the output S of the dimmer 1, which are fed to the electrodes 9 of the fluorescent lamp 7.
- the ignition device 6 contains a series connection of a phase control evaluation 61, a switch-on delay 62, an interference pulse blanking 63, a pulse amplifier 64, an ignition pulse generator 65 and an ignition pulse transformer 66.
- a power supply unit 67 is also provided for supplying the aforementioned components.
- phase gating evaluation 61 The input of the phase gating evaluation 61 is connected to the controlled output S of the dimmer 1.
- a square wave signal (e.g. 12V) is generated with Zener diodes, the rising edge of which runs synchronously with the phase control of the positive half-waves at the input.
- a timing element only releases this square-wave signal about 4 ms after the mains voltage has passed zero.
- the square-wave signal therefore appears at the output of the phase gating evaluation 61 in synchronism with the rise in the cut voltage, with the exception of the gating area below 4 ms, in that a voltage rise triggers a square-wave signal only 4 ms after the zero crossing.
- the square-wave signals generated by the phase gating evaluation 61 then pass through the switch-on delay 62.
- the square-wave signals are blocked therein within the first 2 seconds after the dimmer 1 has been switched on. This delay time results from the preheating time which is expedient to be observed in order to protect the electrodes 9.
- the square-wave signals at the output of the interference pulse blanking 63 are then amplified in a transistor circuit in the pulse amplifier 64 and fed via a fiber-carrying thyristors in the ignition pulse generator 65.
- the ignition pulse generator 65 is supplied with the mains voltage and contains two thyristors and two capacitors, which are charged to + 300V and -300V. Controlled by the square-wave signals from the pulse amplifier 64, the thyristors discharge the capacitors via the primary winding of the ignition pulse transformer 66. On the secondary side of the ignition pulse transformer 66, ignition pulses of approximately 1.5 kV are generated, which are applied to the electrodes 9 of the fluorescent lamp 7 via a capacitor 68. The duration of the ignition pulses is such that flicker-free operation of the fluorescent lamp 7 is ensured.
