A high-quality electronic ballast. To celebrate the opening of the new forum, I am uploading my latest design. This product has been trial-produced in several Korean electronics companies and can pass certification in various countries for your reference. It has the following features: ● Rated voltage: 85-265V, AC50/60Hz ● Rated power: 2×40W ● Power factor > 0.998 ● Harmonic content < 6% ● Current crest factor < 1.45 ● Soft start circuit design ● Anti-impact voltage and surge current ● Complete protection functions, including overvoltage, overcurrent, overload and lamp shortage protection ● Variable frequency preheating start, preheating frequency and preheating time can be set by yourself ● Accurate and stable operating frequency (typical operating frequency 45KHz) ● Operating temperature is -25℃—+125℃ ● If one lamp fails, the other lamp continues to work at the original power
Key components are produced: 1. The switch transformer T1 is viewed from the top view
and uses an EI28 core and ¢0.41mm enameled wire. Wind 100 turns between pins 1-5 and 9 turns between pins 7-9. Pins 1 and 9 are the same-named ends. Add a 1.0 mm air gap. 2. The push transformer T2 is viewed from the top view and
uses an EE16mm core and ¢0.41mm enameled wire. Wind 24 turns between pins 1-2 and 5-6 and 32 turns between pins 3-4. Pins 1, 4 and 5 are the same-named ends. 3. The output transformers T3 and T4 are viewed from the top view and
use an EE25mm core and ¢0.41mm enameled wire. Wind 140 turns between pins 2-5 and 5 turns between pins 1-6. Pins 2 and 6 are the same-named ends. Adjust the air gap so that the inductance between pins 2-5 is about 2.3mH.
Note: This ballast solution can be easily changed to single tube 40W, 3×40W and 4×40W. There is a PCB Layout diagram drawn with Protel99. If you need it, please let me know.
