Definitions

  • the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for regulating the operating voltage of high-pressure gas discharge lamps to a predetermined nominal value, consisting of a controllable current limiter connected upstream of the lamp and a control circuit controlling the latter, the output signal of which is determined by the difference between a predetermined nominal value which determines the nominal lamp lamp voltage and one of those current lamp voltage dependent actual value is determined.
  • Regulating the lamp lamp voltage to a predetermined nominal value should therefore also be understood to mean that for each lamp of one type, if with the above circuit arrangement operated, the same value of the internal voltage is set. This is not synonymous with power stabilization, since different power consumption of the individual lamps may be necessary due to manufacturing tolerances to achieve the same lamp operating voltage. For the same reason, it is not possible to only stabilize the lamp current.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a circuit arrangement for regulating the operating voltage of high-pressure gas discharge lamps, in particular sodium vapor high-pressure gas discharge lamps, which enables precise regulation of the lamp operating voltage to a predetermined nominal value, without this resulting in instabilities during lamp operation. Both burning voltages above the nominal value and burning voltages below this nominal value should be regulated.
  • the heating element is more or less heated.
  • the thermal time constant of the lamp i.e. the time between the likewise sudden change in the operating voltage and the subsequent running through of the output value, depending on the lamp type, between several seconds and a few minutes.
  • the thermal time constant of the unit consisting of the heating element and the temperature-dependent electrical component is in the order of magnitude of the thermal time constant of the lamp.
  • the Circuit arrangement according to the invention uses a control circuit which has no electronic integrators, but whose necessary control time constant is achieved by the thermal inertia of the unit consisting of the heating element and the temperature-dependent electrical component.
  • the actual value voltage is fed together with the setpoint voltage to a differential amplifier system, the output signal of which controls the controllable current limiter.
  • the temperature-dependent component is preferably connected in series with a further electrical component and with a voltage source and the actual value voltage is tapped at the connection point of the two components. This arrangement is simple and inexpensive to implement.
  • the setpoint voltage is controlled as a function of the ambient temperature according to a further development according to the invention. Changes in the ambient temperature can also be compensated for if the further electrical component connected in series with the temperature-dependent component acted upon by the heating element is also temperature-dependent.
  • the temperature-dependent component can be a temperature-dependent resistor (NTC or PTC resistor), a silicon temperature sensor or a Zener diode with a temperature-dependent Zener voltage.
  • NTC temperature-dependent resistor
  • silicon temperature sensor or a Zener diode with a temperature-dependent Zener voltage.
  • a temperature dependent Resistance is the cheapest and most immune to interference. Silicon temperature sensors have less variation in the temperature characteristics than temperature-dependent resistors.
  • the Zener diodes mentioned are even more precise than silicon temperature sensors.
  • a and B denote input terminals for connection to an AC voltage network of, for example, 220 V, 50 Hz.
  • a series circuit consisting of a high-pressure discharge lamp 1 and a controllable current limiter 2 is connected to these input terminals.
  • Parallel to the lamp 1, which is in particular a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp there is a control circuit 3 which is supplied with the lamp lamp voltage at its first input C, D and a predetermined setpoint voltage voltage which determines the nominal lamp lamp voltage and is supplied from a DC voltage source 4 at another input F, G is produced.
  • the control circuit 3 generates a voltage at its output H when the time The mean lamp lamp voltage deviates from its nominal value. This output voltage is then fed to the controllable current limiter 2, which reduces the lamp power when the lamp voltage is above its nominal value and increases when the lamp voltage is below its nominal value, so that the lamp lamp voltage is always returned to its nominal value.
  • Circuits with choke coils and triacs are suitable as controllable current limiters, e.g. in U.S. Patents 4 162 429, 3 886 405 and 4 037 148.
  • Electronic switching power supplies such as forward or flyback converters, can also be used.
  • the control circuit 3 shown in Fig. 2 will now be described.
  • the lamp voltage at the first input C, D is fed to a heating element 5, which is connected in parallel to the lamp 1 and is in thermal contact with a temperature-dependent resistor 6, in this case an NTC resistor.
  • a temperature-dependent resistor 6 in this case an NTC resistor.
  • Such units are commercially available under the name "indirectly heated thermistor” or can be easily produced from heating resistors and NTC resistors.
  • This arrangement has the advantage of galvanic isolation between the heating resistor 5 connected to the lamp 1 and the NTC resistor 6, as a result of which the control circuit 3 can be set to any potential, which facilitates the activation of the current limiter 2.
  • the time constant T with which the NTC resistor 6 reacts to changes in the lamp voltage applied to the heating resistor 5, can be set by changing the thermal coupling in a simple manner between a few seconds and a few minutes and thus adapted to the thermal time constant of the lamp 1.
  • the NTC resistor 6 is connected in series with an ohmic resistor 7 and a DC voltage source of, for example, 10 V and thus forms a voltage divider, at the connection point 8 of the two resistors 6 and 7 a voltage dependent on the actual value of the lamp lamp voltage is tapped off.
  • This actual value voltage is then fed to the first input E 1 of a differential amplifier 9, while a nominal value voltage which determines the nominal lamp operating voltage and which comes from the direct voltage source 4 is applied to the second input E2 thereof.
  • the differential amplifier 9 need not be a single amplifier, but can also consist of a suitable combination of several amplifiers. If the lamp voltage exceeds its nominal value, there is a greater heating of the heating resistor 5 and thus of the NTC resistor 6 thermally coupled to it.
  • a disadvantage of the control circuit shown in Fig. 2 is that the voltage divider consisting of the NTC resistor 6 and the ohmic resistor 7 changes even with fluctuations in the ambient temperature, which is particularly the case with a ballast integrated in a lamp base devices occurs.
  • This disadvantage can be avoided, however, if an NTC resistor is used instead of the ohmic resistor 7, the temperature characteristic of which corresponds to that of the NTC resistor 6. If one then arranges the second NTC resistor (7) far enough from the heating resistor 5, the voltage divider ratio remains constant with changes in the ambient temperature.
  • a silicon temperature sensor (eg KTY 83 from Valvo) can also be used. Silicon temperature sensors of this type generally have less scatter in the temperature characteristic than NTC resistors. Since silicon temperature sensors have a positive temperature coefficient, the inputs E 1 and E2 of the differential amplifier would have to be exchanged in this case.
  • a series circuit comprising an ohmic resistor 7 and a Zener diode 10 with a temperature-dependent Zener voltage is provided (for example TBD0135 from Thomson CSF).
  • the heating resistor 5 increases the heating of the zener diode 10, causing its zener voltage to rise.
  • this leads to an increase in the voltage at input E 1 of differential amplifier 9.
  • a setpoint voltage supplied to input E2 of the differential amplifier is provided, which depends on the ambient temperature.
  • a further series circuit comprising a Zener diode 11 with a temperature-dependent Zener voltage, an ohmic resistor 12 and a DC voltage source is provided.
