Circuit arrangements or apparatus for igniting or operating discharge lamps > Circuit arrangements > in which the lamp is fed by power derived from DC by means of a converter, e.g. by high-voltage DC > using static converters > with semiconductor devices and specially adapted for lamps with preheating electrodes, e.g. for fluorescent lamps

CPC:

Circuit arrangements or apparatus for igniting or operating discharge lamps (structurally associated with the discharge lamps H01J61/54, H01J61/56) > Circuit arrangements > in which the lamp is fed by power derived from DC by means of a converter, e.g. by high-voltage DC > using static converters > with semiconductor devices and specially adapted for lamps with preheating electrodes, e.g. for fluorescent lamps

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.
