Abstract

Germicidal lamps efficiently emit a large amount of ultraviolet rays 253.7nm which have excellent germicidal effect. The lamps are primarily useful for sterilization of air, the surface of various materials and water or liquid. In this paper, analysis of the charge pump power factor correction inverter for driving a 65W UV lamp and electrical characteristics of the lamp are discussed. The operation of the inverter circuit. in which the lamp is included as a load, is analyzed. Experimental results of the inverter circuit are also presented.
