Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control gear for gas discharge lamps according to the preamble of claim 1. It is in particular an improvement of the half-bridge inverter contained in the operating device and its control. Furthermore, the invention deals with the simplification of a switch-off device of the operating device and a cost-effective power factor correction of the current absorbed by the network.
  • Document EP 0 481 077 A2 discloses a circuit arrangement for operating a lamp.
  • the circuit arrangement comprises a half-bridge inverter with MOSFETs.
  • the drive signals for the MOSFETs are derived from a respective additional winding, which are applied to a lamp inductor.
  • drive circuits for the MOSFETs each contain an LC parallel resonant circuit.
  • the drive circuits also include Zener diodes. They are used to shorten the on-time of the MOSFETs or for overvoltage protection.
  • the document EP 1 001 662 (Nerone) describes a half-bridge circuit with complementary MOSFETs. To control the resonance of the load circuit during the ignition of a connected gas discharge lamp Zener diodes are connected in parallel with the drive electrodes of the MOSFETs for limiting the voltage.
  • the document EP 0 093 469 (De Bijl) describes an operating device for gas discharge lamps, which represents the state of the art.
  • This operating device includes a self-oscillating half-bridge inverter, which generates a high-frequency alternating voltage from a DC voltage by alternately switching on and off an upper and a lower series-connected half-bridge transistors.
  • the DC voltage is usually generated by means of a bridge rectifier, consisting of four rectifier diodes, from the mains voltage.
  • Self-oscillating in this context means that the control of the half-bridge transistors is obtained from a load circuit and no independently oscillating oscillator circuit is provided for generating said drive.
  • said drive is obtained by means of a current transformer.
  • a primary winding of the current transformer is arranged in the load circuit and is of a Load current flows through, which can be set equal to the current that is emitted by the half-bridge inverter substantially.
  • Each secondary winding of the current transformer is arranged in two drive circuits, each of which generates a signal which is supplied to the control electrodes of the half-bridge transistors.
  • the load circuit is connected to the junction of the half-bridge transistors.
  • the main component of the load circuit is a lamp choke, to which gas discharge lamps can be connected in series via terminal connections. It is also possible to switch several load circuits in parallel; The primary winding must then be arranged in such a way that it flows through the sum of all load circuits.
  • a feedback signal is generated which is substantially proportional to the load current.
  • the secondary windings ideally have to be short-circuited, in practice low-resistance terminated. Otherwise, either saturation phenomena occur in the current transformer, or the primary winding exerts an undesirably large influence on the load circuit.
  • bipolar transistors are used for the half-bridge transistors, which receive their control from the secondary windings. The base terminal of the bipolar transistors, which is used as a control electrode is naturally low enough to o. G. To avoid effects.
  • the voltage drop across the secondary windings is below the o.g. Conditions a measure of the load current and forms in the prior art feedback signals. These are each supplied to a timer, which consists in the simplest case of the series connection of a time capacitor and a time resistor. If the respective time capacitor is charged to an integration value which is sufficient to trigger a turn-off transistor, the respective half-bridge transistor is switched off.
  • a resonant capacitor is connected in series with the lamp inductor and acting in parallel with a gas discharge lamp, which resonant circuit forms a resonant circuit with the lamp inductor. This is operated to ignite near its resonance, which forms a sufficiently high voltage to ignite a gas discharge lamp at the resonance capacitor.
  • a high current is formed in the lamp inductor and thus in the half-bridge transistors.
  • the amplitude of the load current is limited in the prior art. This is done via a respective first voltage threshold, which is connected in parallel to the respective time resistor. If the load current rises above a predetermined level, then the respective feedback signal reaches a value which causes the respective first voltage threshold value switch to break and thus leads to the instantaneous switching-off of the respective half-bridge transistor.
  • MOSFET MOS Field effect transistors
  • control gear for gas discharge lamps having the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • Particularly advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.
  • bipolar transistors are increasingly being used by voltage-controlled semiconductor switches, e.g. Replaced MOSFET and IGBT.
  • the drive circuits are each equipped with a second voltage threshold, which has a second voltage threshold and comes to lie in a parallel circuit to the secondary winding.
  • the second voltage threshold consists of the series connection of a Zener diode and a current measuring resistor, wherein the Zener diode has a Zener voltage which corresponds to the second voltage threshold. If the voltage at the secondary winding rises starting at zero, the second voltage threshold value switch is initially inoperative.
  • the zener diode Upon reaching the second voltage threshold, the zener diode begins to conduct and closes the secondary winding as desired from low impedance.
  • the value of the second voltage threshold must be lower than a threshold voltage which the voltage-controlled semiconductor switch at least requires as drive.
  • the current sense resistor two conditions must be met. On the one hand, the value of the current measuring resistor must be small enough so that a low-impedance termination of the secondary winding is ensured. On the other hand, the value of the current sense resistor must be large enough so that the voltage at the secondary winding can continue to rise up to the first voltage threshold.
  • the voltage at the current measuring resistor is naturally also a measure of the load current.
  • the voltage at the current measuring resistor can thereby be used according to the invention for the detection of a fault. It is fed to a shutdown device.
  • the time average of the voltage at the current measuring resistor is formed in the turn-off device. If this exceeds a given limit value, the turn-off device prevents a further oscillation of the half-bridge inverter. This happens in particular by suppression of the drive signal of one of the two half-bridge transistors.
  • the operating devices in question generally have two mains voltage terminals which can be connected to a mains voltage, whereby a mains current can flow.
  • Relevant standards eg: IEC 1000-3-2
  • PFC circuits Power Factor Correction
  • a cost-effective implementation of these PFC circuits represent so-called.
  • Pump circuits, as z. B. in EP 253 224 (breeding bars) or EP 1 028 606 (Rudolph) are described.
  • Another effect which occurs in the half-bridge inverter according to the invention with pump circuit is the strong modulation of the operating frequency by the mains voltage, which has the oscillation of the half-bridge inverter.
  • said operating frequency is within a frequency band having a bandwidth of more than 10 kHz.
  • the electromagnetic interference caused by an operating device according to the invention is distributed over a wide frequency band.
  • the energy that hits a faulty device advantageously low.
  • the effort for the suppression of a control gear according to the invention can be kept low.
  • a further advantageous use of the current measuring resistor according to the invention is given in the starting circuit of the self-oscillating half-bridge inverter.
  • To start the half-bridge inverter it is customary to charge a start capacitor and, upon reaching a trigger voltage at the charging capacitor, a portion of the charge stored in the charging capacitor via a trigger element to the control electrode of a half-bridge capacitor to discharge.
  • the problem may arise that the charge pulse generated in this way at the relevant control electrode is too short and too low and no sustained oscillation of the half-bridge inverter is triggered.
