Abstract
A circuit for operating low-pressure discharge lamps at elevated frequency comprises a reconnect circuit which disables the disconnect circuit upon exchange of a defective low-pressure discharge lamp (LP1). The disconnect circuit comprises a diode (D10), a resistor (R11) and a thyristor (TH) together with a trigger circuit (5). The reconnect circuit comprises a capacitor (C9) and a resistor (R12). Upon removal of the defective low-pressure discharge lamp (LP1), the capacitor (C9) is charged over the resistor (R12). Upon insertion of a new low-pressure discharge lamp (LP1), the capacitor (C9) is discharged and recharged in opposite direction and the holding current is removed from the thyristor (TH). This causes the thyristor (TH) to block, and enables the push-pull frequency generator (3) to start oscillating again.
