12、facturers Association AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI. ANSI states that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judg
13、ment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means significantly more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and
14、a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether they have approved the standards or not, from: manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or p
15、rocedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards, and will under no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American N
16、ational Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. Caution Notice: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Th
17、e procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.

39、, fused silica envelope (lamp containing a high pressure gas) and an electronic radio frequency (RF) generator, connected to a resonator. These systems are also referred to as electrode-less HID systems. A typical plasma lighting system is schematically illustrated in figure 1. The RF generator cons
40、ists of an AC/DC power supply that provides the RF source (magnetron or solid state RF source) with appropriate electrical operating conditions (voltage and current). The RF generator may include additional functionalities, such as means for dimming, power-factor correction, or output light detectio
41、n. The resonator, consisting of an applicator and a (HID) light source, is the device that couples the RF power into the lamp. The applicator may consist of air, ceramic or fused silica and may surround, partially surround or completely enclose the light source. ANSI C136.49-2016 Page 3 2016 Nationa
42、l Electrical Manufacturers Association Figure 1 Schematic of a Typical Plasma Lighting System 4.2 Operation in High Humidity Environments All components must be designed to operate in a high humidity environment normally encountered in luminaires designed for use in roadway and area lighting in outd
43、oor applications or the components must be enclosed in suitable housing designed to protect the components in high humidity environments. 4.3 Extreme Low Temperatures Manufacturers should be consulted for extreme low temperature (below 13F (25C) applications. 5 RF Generator Requirements 5.1 Operatin
44、g Voltages The RF generator shall be designed to operate at a nominal input frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, alternating current (AC) and shall be clearly marked to identify suitable input supply voltages. 5.2 Ambient Temperature The RF generator, when installed in a luminaire per the plasma lighting syste
45、m manufacturers specifications, shall be designed to operate continuously in draft-free air at an ambient temperature of 77F (25C) with no reduction in lamp life from the rated value. 5.3 Case Temperature If the RF generator has a maximum case temperature rating to achieve rated life, the test point
46、 must be so marked on the case and that temperature must be listed on the RF generators label. 5.4 Mounting Provisions Mounting provisions shall be provided to securely mount the RF generator to the luminaire. 5.5 Heat Sink ANSI C136.49-2016 Page 4 2016 National Electrical Manufacturers Association
47、Any heat sink or radiator necessary for continuous operation of the RF generator at rated output shall be properly attached to the ballast or generator in a manner to retain constant thermal contact over the life of the system. If the RF generator design requires that the luminaire housing or a comp
48、onent in the luminaire housing be a part of a heat sink, the plasma lighting system manufacturer shall provide provisions for and instructions for proper mounting. 5.6 Lamp Operation The lamp shall be suitable for operation in a suitably enclosed luminaire. If the lamp exceeds safe UV exposure stand
49、ards set by the ANSI/IESNA RP-27 Series, then lamp shall be labeled with the appropriate Risk Group rating as defined by ANSI/IESNA RP-27. 5.7 Radio-Frequency Requirements The most common frequencies used in these lamps are 433442 MHz (solid-state RF source) or 2.45 2.50 GHz (magnetron) but fundamentally plasma lamps are not limited to these frequencies and lamps have been demonstrated to operate above and below the 400 MHz band. 6 Lamp Requirements 6.1 Applicable Standards Luminaires must meet applicable parts of ANSI C136.2, ANSI C
