  • Abstract
    This paper presents a study of the HPS lamp behavior before ignition is achieved. The voltage generated by a LC network is applied to the lamp leads using the soft-start-up method. Modifications of the off state lamp equivalent resistance are observed when applying different ignition sequences. From the experiments, a breakdown characteristic is defined.
