ABSTRACT:
Technology presented in the following utility patent yields a significant innovation within the field of electrical lighting. An alternative configuration of the filter inductor, which serves as part of a passive power factor correction circuit, increases the overall efficiency of fluorescent ballast. The core of the inductor is essentially comprised of a vertically positioned, laminated silicon steel stack within the electronic ballast housing. The vertical orientation allows for a significant reduction in the height and width of the ballast housing, thus creating more effective use of space. Furthermore, each individual laminated silicon steel plate's outside corner angles assume a crescent moon shape. This unique structure serves to provide additional space for the ballast's input lead wires by forming total three (3) of long narrow channels. In order to balance any offset in magnetic flux density caused by the crescent moon shape, the two alternate interior angles of the sheet are arc-shaped.
