CERAMIC PTC THERMISTORS FOR
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

Preheater for Fluorescent Lamp Heating Coil
Ceramic PTC thermistors can be used to extend the service life of fluorescent lamp by preheating the lamp heating coil.  For this purpose, the thermistor is connected in parallel with the resonant capacitor used to generate power for lighting of the lamp.  In this case, the current is allowed to flow around the capacitor and through the thermistor at switch-on.   Once the thermistor heats up, its resistance increases rapidly and diverts currents to the resonant capacitor for charge build-up.
