            Abstract : 
Project PTDC/EEA-ENE/66859/2006, entitled ¿Electronic Ballasts: A New Dimming Technology¿ proposes to investigate a new fluorescent lamp control technology based on magnetic regulators. This paper presents an experimental approach to the large-signal characterization of the regulator in order to build a dynamic-inductance model useful for simulation studies.
