Research on the Parameter Optimization of Electronic Ballast for UV-Lamps Considering Its Lifetime and UVC Irradiance

To enhance the UVC irradiation and prolong the life span of UV-lamps, parameter optimization is conducted for electronic ballasts. In this paper, the double capacitor topology is adopted and the effects of different ratios of shunt capacitors are investigated. Experiments are performed under differe...
