Lamp circuit with disconnected lamp detecting device

摘要

A lamp circuit is provided having a constant current type AC power source and a plurality of isolation transformers connected in series with the AC power source. The secondary circuit of each isolation transformer is connected to an electric lamp. The voltage-time area, which is measured from the rise of the voltage output signal of the power source to the rise of the current output signal of the power source is detected and is compared with a reference predetermined value. Thereby when the detected value exceeds the reference value an alarm signal is generated and the number of the disconnected lamps can be determined and displayed.
