Abstract
Description
Gasentladungsstrahler, wie beispielsweise Quecksilberdampfstrahler, sind im Gegensatz zu üblichen Stromverbrauchern durch eine Strom-Spannungskennlinie gekennzeichnet, die je nach Strahlerstrom und Strahlerart sowohl positive als auch negative Steigung annehmen kann. Für ihren Betrieb sind also besondere Spannungsquellen erforderlich, die den negativen Strom-Spannungskennlinien Rechnung tragen. Als Spannungsquellen für solche Strahler sind Vorschaltspulen, Streufeldtransformatoren, Transduktoren und Thyristorsteller mit nachgeschalteten Transformatoren bekannt. Diese Stromversorgungen sind aufwendig an verschiedene Strahlerleistungen anzupassen und können nur in geringem Umfang veränderten Netzverhältnissen Rechnung tragen. Sie haben außerdem hohe elektrische Verluste, hohes Gewicht und großen Platzbedarf.In contrast to conventional power consumers, gas discharge lamps, such as mercury vapor lamps, are characterized by a current-voltage characteristic curve which, depending on the lamp current and type of lamp, can assume both positive and negative slopes. Special voltage sources are required for their operation, which take into account the negative current-voltage characteristics. Ballast coils, stray field transformers, transducers and thyristor controllers with downstream transformers are known as voltage sources for such radiators. These power supplies are complex to adapt to different radiator powers and can only take into account changed network conditions to a small extent. They also have high electrical losses, weight and space requirements.
Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Der Erfindung liegt demnach die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine regelbare Spannungsversorgung für Gasentladungsstrahler zu schaffen, die verlustarm arbeitet, Netzschwankungen ausregeln kann, modular aufgebaut und einfach an wechselnde Strahlertypen angepaßt werden kann.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a controllable voltage supply for gas discharge lamps which operates with little loss, can compensate for network fluctuations, has a modular structure and can be easily adapted to changing lamp types.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Spannungsversorgung aus einer oder mehreren ungeregelten Spannungsquellen und einer mit diesen in Reihe geschalteten veränderlichen Spannungsquelle besteht.The object is achieved in that the voltage supply consists of one or more unregulated voltage sources and a variable voltage source connected in series with them.
In einer Ausgestaltung kann die veränderliche Spannungsquelle stufenlos durch Veränderung ihrer Amplitude oder Veränderung ihrer Einschaltdauer (Taktung) regelbar sein. Die Erfindung wird anhand der Figuren näher erläutert. Es zeigt:
Figur 1 die Gleichspannungsversorgung bestehend aus unveränderbarer und veränderbarer Gleichspannungsquelle, schematisch dargestellt;- Figur 2 den veränderbaren Teil der Spannungsquelle im Detail und zwar für stufenlose Regelung der Amplitude und
- Figur 3 den veränderbaren Teil der Spannungsquelle für Regelung der Einschaltdauer (Taktung).
- Figure 1 shows the DC voltage supply consisting of unchangeable and changeable DC voltage source, shown schematically;
- Figure 2 shows the changeable part of the voltage source in detail, namely for stepless regulation of the amplitude and
- Figure 3 shows the changeable part of the voltage source for regulating the duty cycle (clocking).
Die starre (unregelbare) Gleichspannungsquelle U1 ist mit der veränderbaren (regelbaren) Gleichspannungsquelle U2 in Reihe geschaltet. Parallel zu U2 ist eine Freilaufdiode D angeordnet, über die der Strahlerstrom bei U2 = 0 fließt. S symbolisiert den Strahler und Z eine Vorschaltimpedanz (Induktivität). Für eine stufenlose Regelung eignet sich die aus Figur 2 ersichtliche Spannungsquelle U2, bestehend z.B. aus den drei Phasen L1, L2, L3 eines Drehstromnetzes und der Brückenschaltung aus den Thyristoren T1, T2, T3 und den Dioden D1, D2, D3. Für die taktweise Regelung eignet sich die aus Figur 3 ersichtliche Gleichspannungsquelle U2, die wiederum z.B. aus den drei Phasen L1, L2, L3 eines Drehstromnetzes sowie einer Brückenschaltung aus den Dioden D 1 bis D 6 besteht, die einen elektronischen Schalter T, z.B. einen Transistor, Thyristor oder Gate-Turn-Off Thyristor, enthält. U2 liefert nur einen Teil der zum Betrieb des Strahlers S erforderlichen Spannung und damit auch nur einen äquivalenten Teil der elektrischen Strahlerleistung.The rigid (uncontrollable) DC voltage source U 1 is connected in series with the changeable (controllable) DC voltage source U 2 . A freewheeling diode D is arranged in parallel with U 2 , via which the lamp current flows at U 2 = 0 . S symbolizes the radiator and Z a ballast impedance (inductance). The voltage source U 2 shown in FIG. 2, consisting, for example, of the three phases L 1 , L 2 , L 3 of a three-phase network and the bridge circuit comprising the thyristors T 1 , T 2 , T 3 and the diodes D 1, is suitable for continuous control , D 2 , D 3 . The DC voltage source U 2 shown in FIG. 3 is suitable for the cyclical regulation, which in turn consists, for example, of the three phases L 1 , L2 , L 3 of a three-phase network and a bridge circuit composed of the diodes D 1 to D 6 , which has an electronic switch T, eg contains a transistor, thyristor or gate turn-off thyristor. U 2 supplies only a part of the voltage required to operate the radiator S and thus only an equivalent part of the electrical radiator power.
