31、ope This standard provides compatibility requirements when a forward phase-cut dimmer is combined with one or more dimmable LED Light Engines (LLEs). An LLE, for the purposes of this document, comprises one or more LED modules, LED control gear (integral or remote), and a connection to the mains cir

32、cuit1. Three configurations of LED light engines are shown below (Figure 1-1). Figure 1-1 LED Light Engine The requirements in this standard do not limit its use to any specific lighting product type or application, and it is suitable for use globally. For the purposes of this standard, compatibilit

33、y means: a. The reliability of the dimmer and LLE are not affected by combining them. b. Dimming behavior meets or exceeds the behavior specified in sections 3 and 4. Any interfaces between control gear and LED module(s) within the LLE are undefined in this standard. Such an interface may take a var

34、iety of forms. For example, it may be a constant voltage interface, a constant current interface, or a low-voltage alternating current interface produced by control gear that is simply a step-down electronic transformer. In all cases, compatibility is only defined for the LLE (which may contain one

35、or more specific combinations of control gear and LED module(s), and not for either component independently. To be considered compliant with this standard, the control gear and modules shall be operated together. This standard does not preclude future standards that will permit separate qualificatio

36、n of control gear and module components, with interfaces defined between them that ensure a proper SSL 7A LLE interface from the point of view of this standard. This standard is forward-looking and is intended to be used to design and qualify dimmer and LLE products (including integral or remote con

37、trol gear) for use with each other. It is not intended for use to determine compatibility with existing products or the installed base of LLEs and phase-cut dimmers. For information on compatibility with the installed base of dimmers, see SSL 6-2010. NOTEAny requirement for compliance to this standa

38、rd does not supersede applicable international or local regulation. 1 Through an ANSI/IEC base or a non-ANSI/IEC interface. NEMA SSL 7A-2015 Page 2 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1.1 Organization This standard is organized in two parts. Part A covers the minimum requirements for

39、compatibility. Part B covers minimum requirements for performance. This document describes only Part A. SSL 7B is currently under development. The standard is predicated on being able to separate the dimmer and LLE for independent testing. Synthetic loads (representing an LLE) are defined for testin

40、g of dimmers, and waveform generators (representing a dimmer) are defined for testing of LLEs. As a result of this separation, the specifications and testing are separated into a dimmer and an LLE section. Proper performance of the LLE with the waveform generators ensures that the LLE will meet the

41、compatibility requirements with dimmers that have been designed using the synthetic loads. Similarly, proper performance of the dimmer with the synthetic loads ensures compatibility when operating with an LLE that has been designed using the waveform generators. Many tests included in this specifica

42、tion may be application dependent. Therefore, a manufacturer should consider the need to conduct the tests for various installation applications. 1.2 Normative References The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standar

46、functionality as described in SSL 7A. For the purposes of this standard, compatibility means: 1) the reliability of the dimmer and LLE are not affected by combining them and 2) dimming behavior meets or exceeds the behavior specified in sections 3 and 4. conduction angle: In the case of a forward ph

47、ase dimmer, conduction angle is the phase angle (180-0 degrees) measured from the point where conduction begins (for the purposes of this standard, conduction is defined as when the voltage across the load exceeds 20% of instantaneous line voltage at that point) to the next zero cross location (begi

48、nning of the next half-cycle). See Figure 2-1. NEMA SSL 7A-2015 Page 3 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association phase-cut dimmer: A dimmer, for the purposes of this standard, is a control unit that produces a forward phase (leading edge) ac waveform. This dimmer output waveform is supplied

49、 to one or more LLEs. The conduction angle of the waveform is adjustable. (See Figure 2-1 for an example of a forward phase dimmer output waveform.) electronic control gear (ECG): Electronic control gear is the electronics that converts ac mains into a signal that drives the LEDs (or LED module). The electronic control gear may be integrated into an LLE or it may be a separate module that drives an LED module. Also known as a driver. inrush current: Waveform of the input current, measured immediately after the input voltage is connected. in
