| Abstract | Magnetically-controlled electronic ballasts represent a new field of research in the fluorescent lighting systems domain. The control technique used in these ballasts includes magnetic regulators, which can be variable inductors or variable transformers, controlled by a dc current. The objective of the work presented in this paper includes the characterization of magnetic regulators by theoretical and experimental activities. Such characterization is essential for forecasting and study of their applicability in those types of electronic ballasts. Also, a detailed dynamic inductance MATLAB/Simulink model of the regulator, based on experimental results is presented and discussed. |
