Abstract
A current-balancing transformer is provided to supply plural parallel-connected electrical loads, especially loads such as gas discharge lamps which exhibit negative impedance and/or non-linear impedance over at least a part of their normal operating range. The current-balancing transformer forces current sharing among the loads so that each of the parallel-connected loads is supplied operating current.
