Patent abstract
A ballast arrangement is provided for igniting and operating a discharge lamp. The lamp is connected in a commutating bridge in series with an inductor and parallel to a capacitor. The inductor and the capacitor together form a resonance circuit. During ignition, the bridge is commutated at a comparatively high frequency that changes with respect to time. The series resonance circuit has a resonance frequency that is close to an odd harmonic of the comparatively high frequency.
