Investigação da qualidade da energia em reatores para lâmpadas de vapor de sódio de alta pressão

Abstract

This paper presents an assessment of the energy quality reactors for high-pressure sodium vapor lamps used outdoors as in public lighting or parking areas. Performance tests were conducted on these current control systems. For performance comparison purposes, the activities involved both trials electromagnetic ballasts available on the market and electronic ballasts that are beginning to enter the Brazilian market, trying to analyze the potential of re-placing conventional ballast. As the electronic ballast in study is a product not yet on the market, the rules were investigated, both national and international, and relevant features for entry of that product on the market as viable as possible.
