Abstract :
This paper provides a comparative analysis among four electronic ballasts topologies with high power factor, employing the same switch for inverter and power factor correction stage based on experimental results. Then, the features of each topology through their advantages and disadvantages are shown. The topologies for two 40 W fluorescent lamps at 50 kHz switching frequency and 110 V RMS, 60 Hz utility line are presented
