Abstract

An A.C. voltage fed power supply for D.C. gas-discharge lamps is disclosed having full-wave rectifying means connected on the A.C. side to at least two phase-adjusting networks for forming mutually phase-shifted partial currents and connected together on the D.C. side to superimpose the rectified, phase-shifted partial currents. Each phase-adjusting network is connected through the full-wave rectifying means to the same load impedance at the two D.C. voltage output terminals.
