Embodiment Construction

[0018] The circuit arrangement 1 shown in the drawing comprises an input 2 with a first input connection 3 and a second input connection 4 . The second input terminal 4 is the reference potential for a control unit not shown in the figure. An inverter, also not shown in this figure and which can be driven by the control unit, is coupled to this reference potential and supplies the AC supply voltage U V . The supply AC voltage U V Applied between the first and second input terminals 3,4. The inverter generates the supply AC voltage U from the intermediate circuit DC voltage V , the intermediate circuit DC voltage is across an intermediate circuit capacitor not shown in the figure. The intermediate circuit DC voltage is here between the intermediate circuit pole 5 and the reference potential 4 of the control unit.

[0019] Furthermore, the circuit arrangement 1 comprises an output with a first connection device and a second connection device, which are respectively used for...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a circuit arrangement for driving a series circuit of at least one first low-pressure gas-discharge lamp and one second low-pressure gas-discharge lamp, and a corresponding method thereof. The circuit arrangement can realize reliable preheating to at least two gas-discharge lamps at a state without large expenditure. A capacitive voltage divider (16) is provided at a state that the circuit arrangement comprises an input end (2), output ends (8,9,10,11) and a resonant circuit with a resonant inductor (12) and a resonant capacitor (13). A first capacitor (16a) is parallelly coupled with first connection devices (8,9) of output ends (8,9,10,11). A second capacitor (16b) is parallelly coupled with second connection devices (10,11). Therefore, the total voltage over the resonant capacitor (13) can be adjusted to a value above the burning voltage of each gas-discharge lamp (6,7) in the preheating period.
