PURPOSE: A multi-driving system for an electrodeless lamp is provided to easily exchange a magnetron by providing a system capable of controlling many lamps synthetically. CONSTITUTION: A multi-driving system for an electrodeless lamp comprises a microwave generating means(10), e.g. a magnetron, a conduit(20) having a plurality of branches through which the microwave is transmitted, and a plurality of lamps(31,32,33,...,N) which are supplied with the microwave through the respective branches of the conduit(20). The conduit(20), which generally has a rectangular section, transmits the microwave to a resonator by being coupled thereto by a slot structure and the like. That is, the microwave generated from the magnetron in the 50KW class, for example, is supplied to fifty lamps, each using the magnetron in the 1KW class, respectively, through the branches of the conduit.
