ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Electronic ballasts are essentially composed of a series connection of a harmonic filter that has its input side connected to the AC line, a rectifier and an inverter to which is connected at least one load circuit composed of a series circuit of an inductor and a parallel circuit composed of a fluorescent tube and a capacitor. When a high electric tolerance is required of such a ballast in view of a desired increase in the power factor, standard circuit designs required a relatively expensive storage capacitor that smooths the AC rectified line voltage. In order to be able to use a storage capacitor that has a lower electric tolerance in comparison to the required voltage tolerance of the ballast, a storage capacitor is incorporated into one of the two capacitor branches of the inverter which is composed of a switch bridge arrangement having two switch branches and two capacitor branches, this storage capacitor being connected in series with the actual load.
