Abstract :
Dimming characteristics of fluorescent lamp by adjusting voltage, frequency and resonance induction with electronic ballast are experimentally analyzed. It is pointed out that wide dimming ratio can realize by the voltage and frequency coordinative control. The volt-ampere characteristics of fluorescent lamp as the inverter´s load as well as the relation with illumination and the frequency are tested and analyzed. It is indicated the volt-ampere characteristic of fluorescent lamp will be transitive from negative resistance to positive resistance with frequency increasing.
