- phase include the initial start-up mode wherein a voltage and current having a high odd harmonic content applied to the lamp results in ignition ofthe lamp.
- arc stability must be maintained, requiring a current which does not have a high harmonic content.
- An operating phase which must be accommodated by the power processor includes supplying a safe voltage level to restart ignition during a hot restrike condition. Under these conditions a continuous starting voltage to the lamp may damage the thermal switch and the shunting resistor inside the lamp if the lamp takes an inordinate amount of time to ignite.

- the current pulled from the preregulator is maintained low which produces a reduced amplitude fundamental frequency current but the harmonic components are maintained rich by resonating the load which includes the lamp.
- the lamp is protected during hot restrike from excessive power which may damage the shunting resistor and the thermal switch of the lamp by monitoring the load voltage and varying the gain of the preregulator controller. This brings tbe DC bus volt ⁇ .ge within the safe limit of the lamp.

- a boost choke of APFC power circuit 12 will chop the DC voltage supplied by the DC power supply -r-Vbb. This chopped DC vol ⁇ age is given to a preregulator which produces therefrom a high voltage potential Vab. Power factor correction is employed so that changes in load represented by the lamp 22 and power processor 16 will maintain nearly unity power factor to the input voltage line 10.
- the arrangement of the DC power supply boost choke circuit 12 and power factor correction circuit (APFC) 14 is well known in the art and finds extensive use in the generation of voltages for driving metal halide lamps.
