In order for fluorescent dimming systems to provide maximum performance and safe operation, the system components should adhere to industry a

15、ccepted practices and meet appropriate National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) standards and

16、 practices. The objective of this NEMA standard is to provide the reader with guidance for the design of high frequency fluorescent lamp dimming systems. The portion of this NEMA standard for dimming lamp currents at or above 60 mA became effective January 1, 2010. The portion of this NEMA standard

17、for dimming lamp currents below 60 mA becomes effective January 1, 2015. In the preparation of this standards publication, input of users and other interested parties has been sought and evaluated.

19、ndards publication provides recommendations for dimmable T8 fluorescent lighting systems capable of being dimmed between approximately 100% and 10% of total light output. A T8 fluorescent lamp dimming system may include the following lamp types: 17 W, 2-foot; 25 W, 3-foot; 32 W, 4-foot; or 40 W, 5-f

24、onal Electrical Manufacturers Association. Section 2 SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS 2.1 LAMP CHARACTERISTICS Fluorescent lamp dimming systems are typically configured with adjacent lamp cathodes in the same ballast filament circuit. These cathodes may be connected in series or in parallel. Thus, a proper bal

25、ance of heating power between cathodes sharing the same circuit relies on well-balanced lamp cathode characteristics. Lamps in dimming applications should meet the following requirements. a) Lamps should comply with all relevant existing ANSI C78.81 standards requirements for non-dimming operation.

26、b) Hot cathode resistance, Rh, at 3.6 applied volts should be 12 2 ohms for each cathode. c) The ratio, Rh/Rc, of cathode hot resistance at 3.6 applied volts to cold resistance at 25C ambient temperature should be 4.75 0.50 for each cathode. 2.2 INFORMATION FOR DIMMING BALLAST DESIGN Dimming ballast

27、s should meet all the requirements of ANSI C82.11-2002 High Frequency Fluorescent Lamp Ballast under all operating conditions with the exception of the sections specifying ballast factor and input current harmonic distortion. Dimming ballasts should also meet the requirements of ANSI C82.11-2002 for

28、 ballast factor and input harmonic distortion during operation at full light output. For operation below rated current, the cathode requires supplemental ohmic heating by means of circulating current in the tungsten heater coil. The following are specifications for the voltage drop, EV, across each

29、cathode in a system of one or more lamps for a range of lamp current, ID, in dimmed operation (see also Figure 1).
