The filament lamp is a common type of light bulb. It contains a thin coil of wire called the filament. This heats up when an electric current passes through it and produces light as a result ...

An open filament lamp fault will cause hard-switching at the half-bridge, and the non-ZVS circuit or the crest factor circuit will detect this condition and will enter fault mode, and both gate ...
