高頻電子安定器驅動複金屬燈時，利用後級諧振電路的諧振特性，使操作頻率接近諧振頻率，即可產生足夠的點燈電壓於複金屬燈，不須額外增加點火器，就可使燈管電極崩潰。本文為了探討複金屬燈之高頻點燈特性，改良一個諧振換流器作為量測電路，快速提供燈管穩定的點燈電壓，並以不同使用時數燈管進行實驗。實驗結果顯示，不論頻率高低，燈管點燈電壓都須高於最低崩潰電壓，才可使電極崩潰；提高點燈電壓，可縮短點燈時間；使用時數愈多之燈管，燈管崩潰電壓愈低；提高操作頻率，有助於降低燈管最低崩潰電壓，當操作於150 kHz以上頻率，燈管最低崩潰電壓下降幅度減緩，最後不隨著頻率的變化而改變。本文設計一個70-W複金屬燈之高頻電子安定器，以實驗結果驗證上述高頻弦波點燈特性。

Metal halide lamps, driven by high-frequency electronic ballasts, can be ignited directly by the resonant inverter without an extra ignition circuit. During the starting, a sinusoidal-like high igniting voltage can be generated by operating the resonant inverter around the resonance frequency. To investigate the ignition behavior of the metal halide lamp, a laboratory circuit is designed to generate a high-frequency high voltage for breaking down the lamp electrodes with the steady-state voltage. Experiments are carried out on various lamps with different used times. The test results indicate that a minimum break-down voltage is essential for successful ignition regardless of the operating frequency. A much lower break-down voltage is required for an aged lamp. The breakdown voltage can be further lowered when the lamp is ignited by a higher frequency sinusoidal voltage. The decrease in the minimum break-down voltage becomes insignificant when the frequency is higher than 150 kHz. On the other hand, the ignition time can be reduced with a higher voltage. A high-frequency electronic ballast has been experimentally implemented on a 70-W metal halide lamp to verify the ignition behavior with a high-frequency sinusoidal-like voltage.
