23、d Requirements 1 Scope This standard sets forth the physical and electrical characteristics of the principal types of fluorescent lamps intended for application on conventional line frequency circuits, and electronic high frequency circuits. Some data sheets may specify more than one circuit applica
24、tion. Specifications for both the lamp itself and the interactive features of the lamp and ballast are given. Only double-based lamps of the regular linear shape are included. Single-based lamps including compact, circular, square shaped and U-shaped are found in ANSI C78.901. Lamps for conventional
25、 systems relying on auxiliary support from external ballasts are described. These lamps are those designed for 60-Hz and/or high frequency operation. Lamp color is not specified herein. Certain lamp types covered in this standard may be similar to those in IEC 60081. However, additional types are in
26、cluded that are used only in North America and are not specified in the IEC standard. 2 General There are four parts to this standard: Part I Contains requirements and general information. Detailed descriptions, references, and explanations of the terms used in the lamp data sheets are given in this
27、 part. It also defines the principles of dimensioning lamps, both as finished lamps and for maximum outline purposes. Part II Contains dimensioning principles and lamp outline drawings. Part III Contains the annexes. Part IV Contains all of the lamp data sheets for the lamp classes covered in this s
28、tandard.

33、finitions The definitions in this section relate to specific terms used in this standard. For additional definitions, see the ballast standard (ANSI C82.1) and the electrical dictionary (IEEE 100) 4.1 Lamps Fluorescent lamp: A low-pressure mercury electric discharge lamp in which a fluorescing coati
34、ng (phosphor) transforms some of the ultraviolet energy, generated by the discharge, into light. Rapid-start (RS) fluorescent lamp: A fluorescent lamp designed to operate in a rapid- start circuit. Preheat-start (PS) fluorescent lamp: A fluorescent lamp designed to operate in a preheat-start circuit
35、. Instant-start (IS) fluorescent lamp: A fluorescent lamp designed to operate in an instant-start circuit. Bactericidal lamp: A low-pressure mercury vapor lamp with a bulb that transmits bactericidal ultraviolet-C radiation. Nominal overall length: A convenient number assigned to identifying a lamp
36、in relation to the size of the luminaire in which it is to be used. Nominal value: A suitable approximate quantity value used to designate or identify a component, device or equipment. Rated value: A quantity value for specified operating conditions of a component, device or equipment. The value and
37、 conditions are specified in the relevant standard or assigned by the manufacturer or responsible vendor. 4.2 Lamp Components Internal conductive coating: A coating that is made of a transparent conductive material and is applied to the inside of a fluorescent bulb, which acts as an aid to starting.
38、 Low-resistance cathode: A lamp cathode that exhibits a resistance in the range 2 to 15 ohms, when heated to nominal emission temperature. High-resistance cathode: A lamp cathode that exhibits a resistance in the range above 15 ohms, when heated to nominal emission temperature. 4.3 Ballasts and circ
39、uit characteristics Fluorescent lamp ballast: A device that, by means of resistance, inductance, capacitance, or electronic elements, singly or in combination, controls the current, voltage, and waveform to the proper values for starting and operating of fluorescent lamps.ANSI C78.81-2003 Copyright
40、2003 by American National Standards Lighting Group-NEMA 4 Rapid-start circuit: A circuit in which hot-cathode electric discharge lamps are operated under the following conditions: a) the lamps are started with the cathodes heated to a temperature sufficient for adequate electron emission and without
41、 establishing local ionization across the cathodes; b) such heating is accompanied either by means of low-voltage heater windings in the ballast itself or by separate low-voltage transformers; c) sufficient voltage is applied across the lamp and between the lamp and the starting aid (usually the fix
42、ture itself) to initiate the discharge when the cathodes reach a temperature high enough for adequate emission; and d) cathode heating voltage is maintained even after the lamp is in full operation. Two types of rapid-start circuits have evolved. a) those for lamps with nominal 3.6 volt cathodes (lo
43、w resistance); and b) those for lamps with nominal 8.0 volt cathodes (high resistance). In some cases, the lamp can be suitable for operation in either rapid-start or preheat (switch)-start circuits. Preheat (switch)-start circuit: A circuit in which hot-cathode electric discharge lamps are started
44、with the cathodes preheated through the use of a starting switch, either manual or automatic in its operation. The starting switch, when closed, connects the two cathodes, in series, in the ballast circuit so that current flows to heat the cathodes to emission temperature. When the switch is opened,
45、 a voltage surge is produced that initiates the discharge. Only the arc current flows through the cathodes after the lamp is in operation. Parallel cathode heating (preheating): A method o f supplying cathode heating voltage from one ballast cathode heating winding to two lamp cathodes that are elec
46、trically connected in parallel with that winding. Instant-start circuit: A circuit in which an electric discharge lamp is started by the application of a voltage sufficiently high to eject electrons from the electrodes by field emission, initiate electron flow through the lamp, ionize the gases, and
47、 start a discharge through the lamp without previous heating of the electrodes. Crest factor: The ratio of the peak value of lamp current (or voltage) to the root-mean square (rms) value of lamp current (or voltage). High frequency current crest factor: The high frequency current crest factor is equ
48、al to the peak current of the modulated or unmodulated envelope divided by the effective rms current. ANSI C78.812003 Copyright 2003 by American National Standards Lighting GroupNEMA 5 4.4 Miscellaneous Starting aid: A conductive ground plane reference, located parallel to a lamp. The voltage differ
49、ence between a lamps cathode and the plane aids in the initiation of the arc. 5 Lamp abbreviations Lamp abbreviations for fluorescent lamps are not officially assigned through any administered designation system. Those used on the data sheets in Part IV are assigned in accordance with the Guideline of Annex A. There is no requirement for the use of abbreviations for lamp marking. 6 Methods of measurement Electrical measurements necessary to determine the performance of lamps that are defined in this standard shall be made in accordance with
