    Product Details

    • Preface/Scope
    Scope

    This Standard covers ballasts, excluding resistance types, for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, associated with tubular fluorescent lamps with or without pre-heated cathodes operated with or without a starter or starting device and having rated wattages, dimensions and characteristics as specified in IEC Publication 81. 

    It applies to complete ballasts and to their component parts su ch as reactors, transformers and capacitors. Particular requirements for thermally protected ballasts are given in Appendix B. 

    This Standard also specifies ballasts for lamps which are not yet fully standardized. 

    Ballasts for conventional operation of lamps at mains frequency are covered. A.C. supplied electronic ballasts for high frequency operation are excluded. These are specified in IEC Publicat ion 928. 

    Capacitors having a capacitance greater than 0.1 µF are covered by IEC Publication 566. Capacitors having a capacitance less than or equal to 0.1 µF are specified in IEC Publication 384-14. 


    Domaine d'application

    La présente norme traite des ballasts autres que ceux du type à résistance, pour utilisation en courant alternatif jusqu'à 1 000 V, de fréquence égale à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz, associés à des lampes tubulaires à fluorescence avec ou sans cathodes préchauffées fonctionnant avec ou sans starter ou dispositif d'amorçage et dont les puissances nominales, les dimensions et les caractéristiques sont indiquées dans la Publication 81 de la CEI. 

    Elle est applicable aux ballasts complets ainsi qu'à leurs éléments constitutifs, tels qu'inductances, transformateurs et condensateurs. Des prescriptions particulières pour les ballasts à protection thermique se trouvent à l'annexe B. 

    Cette norme est également applicable aux ballasts destinés à des lampes dont la normalisation n'est pas encore complètement achevée. 

    Les ballasts concernés sont associés à des lampes alimentées traditionnellement à la fréquence du réseau. Les ballasts électroniques alimentés en courant alternatif pour le fonctionnement des lampes à haute fréquence sont exclus. Ils font l'objet de la Publication 928 de la CEI. 

    Les condensateurs de capacité supérieure à 0,1 µF sont traités dans la Publication 566 de la CEI. Les condensateurs de capacité égale ou inférieure à 0,1 µF sont traités dans la Publication 384-14 de la CEI.
