The SWG 4×2000 square-wave current generator is a high-performance electronic ballast designed for operating AC-driven HID lamps. The system has been engineered for demanding applications that require maximum levels of light stability, precise power control, high energy efficiency, and operational reliability.
With a total output power of up to 8 kW, four independent 2 kW power stages, and highly accurate power regulation, this electronic control gear (ECG) is ideally suited for applications such as solar simulation, corrosion testing systems, water disinfection systems, crash test applications, and professional lighting systems for film and television.
Thanks to intelligent monitoring functions, predictive maintenance capabilities, and extensive protection mechanisms, the SWG 4×2000 ballast ensures reliable continuous operation—even under challenging operating conditions.
Key Features
DC/DC converters are employed as current sources for driving non-linear loads.
This digitally controlled system is easy to configure and enable reliable global operation across a wide range of applications, supported by active power factor correction (PFC).
A wide range of control options is available, including analog and digital I/O, standard lighting control interfaces (DMX, DALI), and industrial fieldbus systems. Proprietary protocols can also be implemented.
