METHOD FOR PROTECTING A BALLAST FROM AN OUTPUT GROUND-FAULT CONDITION
A method (700) for protecting a ballast from an output ground-fault condition includes the steps of applying power to the ballast (step 710), providing a startup delay period for a DC-to-DC converter (step 730), monitoring a voltage across a DC blocking capacitor (step 740), preventing startup of th...

| description | A method (700) for protecting a ballast from an output ground-fault condition includes the steps of applying power to the ballast (step 710), providing a startup delay period for a DC-to-DC converter (step 730), monitoring a voltage across a DC blocking capacitor (step 740), preventing startup of the DC-to-DC converter in response to the voltage across the DC blocking capacitor being greater than a threshold value during the startup delay period (step 750), and allowing startup of the DC-to-DC converter in respons e to the voltage across the DC blocking capacitor being less than the threshol d value throughout the startup delay period (step 760). Preferably, the steps of monitoring (step 740), preventing (step 750), and allowing (step 760) are implemented by a microcontroller, and the DC-to-DC converter is preferably implemented as either a Sepic converter or a buck converter. |
