ABSTRACT:
A circuit arrangement for operating a high pressure discharge lamp having a full bridge commutator network. A capacitor across each of four commutator switches forms a tuned circuit together with a ballast coil for soft switching. To counteract the core material of the ballast coil from vibrating audibly during lamp operation about no more than 15% of the commutation cycle elapses between turning off the first of the four commutator swithes and turning on the last of the four commutator switches.
