Title: Innovations by Inventor Dimitry Orlov
Introduction
Dimitry Orlov is a notable inventor based in Netanya, Israel. He has made significant contributions to the field of electronic ballasts, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and functionality of electronic devices used in lighting systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Low voltage output for an electronic ballast." This invention describes a high-frequency electronic ballast designed for main loads, such as HID lamps. It includes a regulated low voltage output to drive auxiliary loads. A low voltage microcontroller generates a low voltage drive signal in response to the voltage and frequency of a high voltage power supply. A switch connected to the high voltage power supply responds to the low voltage drive signal, providing the regulated low voltage output to drive auxiliary devices, such as a back-up incandescent lamp or an insulation detector. In one embodiment, the low voltage output may respond to the HID lamp power, ensuring that the back-up incandescent lamp is energized when the HID lamp does not provide sufficient illumination.
Another significant patent is "Electronic ballast with rail voltage switching." This invention provides a high-frequency electronic ballast that adjusts the DC rail voltage output to account for different mains power voltages, thereby improving efficiency. The rail voltage switching involves a mains power supply providing mains power and a mains voltage signal. A ballast microcontroller responds to the mains voltage signal and generates a power factor correction (PFC) voltage signal. A converter, connected to the mains power supply and responsive to the PFC voltage signal, generates the DC rail voltage output.
