Abstract
The present invention relates to one or two more starters in a serial wiring on a ballast or autotransformer. An impulse high voltage is generated at the output of the ballast. Alternatively, by using a full wave bridge rectifier applied on the AC power source of the autotransformer and a group of diodes, high voltage capacitor, and a control circuit generates an inpulse high voltage at the output of the autotransformer. The invention can be used with high voltage ignition of discharge lamps and DC high voltage for industrial applications.
