A fluorescent lamp having a stem provided with first and second lead wires for energization of an electrode and an electrically-insulating member provided therein with a first hole and a second hole larger in cross-sectional area than said second lead wire. The first and second lead wires are inserted in the first and second holes of the electrically-insulating member, respectively, and an outer diameter of a glass envelope of the fluorescent lamp is not smaller than 13 mm and not larger than 29 mm.

Fluorescent lamp, method for manufacturing the same, and fluorescent lamp device

A high frequency operation fluorescent lamp which can reduce a possibility of over-heat damage of a flare stem at the end of its life. In the lamp, a pair of intermediate lead wires are passed through the flare stem at each end of a light emitting envelope, and an insulator is provided to cover a top of the flare stem.

Voltage, current and field voltage of a generator connected to an electric power system are sampled at a predetermined period for analog-digital conversion and then led to a digital computer. In addition to computation for AVR, the computer computes from its input the generator output power, and also monitors the occurrence of a fault, the removal of the fault and variation in the generator output in the system. After the occurrence of a fault, the field excitation of the generator is intensified until the generator output power reaches substantially a peak value, but after the peak value is substantially passed by, the excitation is conversely depressed to a value below the level which is present before the fault occurs. When the generator output power recovers the value which is present before the fault occurs, the computer returns to deliver the AVR output.
