1 Scope
This international Standard specifies performance requirements for electronic control gear for use on a.c. at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and/or d.c. supplies, both up to 1 000 V, with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency, associated with fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 60081 and IEC 60901 , and other fluorescent lamps for high-frequency operation. NOTE 1 Tests in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual control gear during production are not included. NOTE 2 There are regional standards regarding the regulation of mains current harmonics and immunity for end- products like luminaires and independent control gear. In a luminaire, the control gear is dominant in this respect. Control gear, together with other components, should comply with these standards. NOTE 3 Requirements for the digital addressable lighting interface of electronic control gear are given in IEC 62386.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 starting aid a conductive strip affixed to the outer surface of a lamp, or a conductive plate which is spaced within an appropriate distance from the lamp A starting aid is usually connected to earth potential, and can only be effective when it has an adequate potential difference from one end of the lamp. 3.2 ballast lumen factor blf ratio of the luminous flux of the lamp when the ballast under test is operated at its rated voltage, to the luminous flux of the same lamp operated with the appropriate reference ballast supplied at its rated voltage and frequency 3.3 reference ballast special ballast, either inductive for lamps for operation on a.c. mains frequencies, or resistive for lamps for operation on high frequency It is designed for the purpose of providing comparison standards for use in testing ballasts, for the selection of reference lamps and for testing regular production lamps under standardised conditions. It is essentially characterised by the fact that, at its rated frequency, it has a stable voltage/current ratio which is relatively uninfluenced by variations in current, temperature and magnetic surroundings, as outlined in this standard. [IEC 60050-845:1 987, 845-08-36, modified] 3.4 reference lamp lamp selected for testing control gear which, when associated with a reference ballast, has electrical characteristics which are close to the nominal values as stated in the relevant lamp standard NOTE Specified conditions are given in Annex C.3.8 non-preheat starting type of circuit which utilises a high open-circuit voltage causing secondary electron emission from electrodes 3.9 electronic control gear life time declared average life time at which 90 % of the electronic control gears are still operating NOTE 1 In the context of life time, an electronic control gear is “operating” if it still fulfils it intended functions. NOTE 2 The manufacturer apply suitable methods, e.g. statistical calculation and/or reliability testing. 3.1 0 ambient temperature t a temperature range of the air surrounding the electronic control gear declared by the manufacturer to indicate the normal operating temperature range for the electronic control gear NOTE 1 The lifetime of the electronic control gear is given at the ambient temperature t a ; for ease of measurement, also the corresponding temperature of the t c point is given. NOTE 2 The measurement test condition for the ambient temperature assigned to the DUT should be in accordance to Annex D of IEC 61 347-1 at the rated voltage.
4 General notes on tests
4.1 Tests according to this standard are type tests. NOTE The requirements and tolerances permitted by this standard are based on the testing of a type test sample submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle this type test sample should consist of units having characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and be as close to the production centre point values as possible. It may be expected with the tolerances given in this standard that products manufactured in accordance with the type test sample will ensure compliance with the standard for the majority of the production. However, due to the production spread, it is inevitable that there will sometimes be products outside the specified tolerances. For guidance on sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes, see IEC 6041 0. 4.2 The tests are carried out in the order of the clauses, unless otherwise specified. 4.3 One control gear is submitted to all tests, unless otherwise stated. 4.4 In general, all tests are made on each type of control gear or where a power range of similar control gear is involved, for each rated power in the range or on a representative selection from the range as agreed with the manufacturer.
