Abstract

The paper purpose is to model and interpret the transient regime of the fluorescent lamp mountings that use magnetic starters. These are a combination of two coils with different characteristics and their use leads to some advantages. The analysed starting regime can be described by a Duffing-type equation that is proper to the chaos and resonant jump phenomenon. With its help, the resonant curves and the flux jumps in the magnetic starter are highlighted. The simulation and experimental results are compared. The phenomenon that leads to a quick and sure ignition of the fluorescent lamp is pointed out.
