The project “12V DC Ballast” using power transistor 2N3055 is used to glow AC tube light 555 Timer Projects (72)
using DC source. The circuit of DC ballast is basically a DC to AC converter. DC ballast of

various capacities (in watts) is already available in markets. The circuit posted here is of
20W capacity i.e. (it can drive a load up to 20 watts). Previously, we had posted Electronic AC Voltage Stabilizer (6)

Circuit Description of 12V DC Ballast
Antenna Fundamental (12)
The circuit of 12V DC Ballast uses very few components and is very simple to understand
shown in �gure 1. As we have already stated that the circuit posted here can glow 20W Arduino Projects (89)

When the power supply is given to the circuit base bias voltage is generated at the base Automobile Engineering (8)
of transistor T1 through resistor R1 and inductor L2. Similarly, the collector bias voltage is

In this process of fast switching (ON and OFF) of the transistor, AC voltage is generated.
The generated AC voltage is now stepped up in order to glow Tube Light. Electronics Design (57)

dear sir/ madam,
Transistor Ampli�ers (22)
I was searching about this topic. it is great to read. you have mentioned,
it will work up to 20watt. can this circuit drive an 11watt or 16watt tube? waiting for Uncategorized (3)
your reply.
