<p>The invention relates to a ballast arrangement for igniting and operating a discharge lamp. The lamp is connected in a commutating bridge in series with an inductor and parallel to a capacitor. The conductor and the capacitor together form a resonance circuit. During ignition, the bridge is commutated at a comparatively high frequency that changes with respect to time. According to the invention, the series resonance circuit has a resonance frequency that is close to an odd harmonic of the comparatively high frequency.</p> |
