摘要 |
The present invention relates to a device for preheating the two coil electrodes (W1, W2) of a fluorescent lamp (La) comprising an AC voltage source (10), a resonance capacitor CR, which is arranged serially between the two coil electrodes (W1, W2), a first inductance (L1), which is coupled between the AC voltage source (10) and one of the two coil electrodes (W1, W2), and a second inductance (L2), which is connected to a point between the AC voltage source (10) and the coil electrode (W1) coupled thereto, the second inductance (L2) being coupled to the first inductance (L1) in such a way that a current flow (IL2) through the second inductance (L2) leads to a reduction of the magnetization of the first inductance (L1). It furthermore relates to a corresponding method.
