Abstract

La présente invention concerne un montage électrique (1) pour allumer au moins une lampe à décharge (50) par application d'au moins une impulsion de tension (30, 31, 32, 33) à une électrode (51, 52) de la lampe à décharge. L'invention a également pour objet un procédé pour allumer la lampe à décharge par application des impulsions de tension à l'électrode de la lampe à décharge. Le montage est conçu de sorte que, pour permettre l'allumage de la lampe à décharge, au moins deux impulsions de tension (30, 31) successives dans le temps sont produites en étant espacées d'un intervalle d'impulsion (34) allant de 2,5 ns à 5 µs. Les impulsions de tension présentent l'avantage d'être produites à une fréquence de succession qui va de 100 kHz à 200 MHz. Ces impulsions de tension haute fréquence sont transmises à l'électrode de la lampe à décharge. Il s'y produit une ionisation du gaz contenu dans la lampe à décharge, en raison des impulsions de tension. Le montage électrique consiste en particulier en deux circuits oscillants séparés d'un point de vue galvanique, les impulsions de tension étant produites par un circuit oscillant primaire (10) au moyen d'un transformateur puissant (40), dans le circuit oscillant secondaire (20). Le montage électrique convient à l'allumage d'une lampe à décharge qui fonctionne avec un courant alternatif rectangulaire.
