Study and Characterization of Waveforms From Low-Watt ( $≪$ 25 W) Compact Fluorescent Lamps With Electronic Ballasts

摘要: The aim of this paper is to study the behavior compact fluorescent lamps, also known as low-cost, energy-efficient light bulbs due their high output. This type bulb used increasingly because its energy consumption low, especially compared traditional incandescent bulbs, and average useful life longer. However, disadvantages exist in that these are linear time-variant electrical loads, current waveform they absorb extremely distorted (far removed from sinusoidal form). gives rise harmonic injections on grid, which causes problems installations have a negative impact voltage quality. Due just presented other factors, it important waveforms diverse scenarios different power involved addition active power, such reactive apparent distortion powers (as defined IEEE Std. 1459-2000). Other concepts, percentage, examined. With aims mind, we set out create models for simulate lamps using Pspice, well-known simulation program.
