Abstract
(EN) A ballast circuit adapted for converting an input alternating current (AC) mains power received at input terminals to an output alternating current (AC) to supply a load, e.g. a gas discharge lamp. The output terminals of the ballast connect to the load in parallel with another ballast circuit. The ballast circuit is configured to supply the output AC current to the load in parallel with an AC current output of the other ballast circuit. A synchronization module attached at the output is adapted for synchronizing the output alternating current (AC) of the ballast circuit with the AC current output of the other ballast circuit. The synchronization module is configured to synchronize phase of the output alternating current with phase of the AC current output of the other ballast circuit.
(FR) L'invention concerne un circuit de ballast conçu pour convertir une alimentation de secteur en courant alternatif d'entrée (CA) reçue sur des bornes d'entrée en un courant alternatif de sortie (CA) pour alimenter une charge, par exemple, une lampe à décharge gazeuse. Les bornes de sortie du ballast montent la charge en parallèle avec un autre circuit de ballast. Le circuit de ballast est configuré pour fournir le courant de sortie CA à la charge montée en parallèle avec une sortie de courant CA de l'autre circuit de ballast. Un module de synchronisation fixé à la sortie est conçu pour synchroniser le courant alternatif de sortie (CA) du circuit de ballast avec la sortie de courant CA de l'autre circuit de ballast. Le module de synchronisation est conçu pour synchroniser une phase du courant alternatif de sortie avec une phase de la sortie de courant CA de l'autre circuit de sortie.
