| Abstract: | A starting-aid circuit is added to the series-resonant electronic ballast for reducing the glow current in a rapid-start fluorescent lamp during the preheating. By controlling the operating frequency, the electronic ballast provides an adequate filament current for preheating with nearly zero lamp voltage |
