ANSI C78.380-2016 Page i 2016 National Electrical Manufacturers Association AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by The American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) that
12、 the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board o
13、f Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly, and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made
14、toward their resolution. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether s/he has approved the standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. It is intended as a
15、guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and the general public. The American National Standards Institute, Inc., does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an in
16、terpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute, Inc. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on this title page. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdra
17、wn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute, Inc., require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.

26、or the designation of high-intensity discharge lamps, including compact, enclosed-arc discharge light sources such as mercury, metal halide, high-pressure sodium, and similar types of lamps. For convenience, low-pressure sodium lamps, although technically not high-intensity discharge lamps, are incl
27、uded with the group. 2 Purpose The purpose of the designation system covered by this standard is to provide an identification code for use in ANSI standards. Some lamp marking requirements are also identified. Guidance is given as to which characteristics are important (key) to assure interchangeabi
28、lity. The lamp characteristic data given by a manufacturer on a high-intensity discharge lamp code designation (LCD) request form becomes the basis for the assignment of a designation. They have not been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and do not constitute an American N
29、ational Standard. Similarly, any consolidated listing of assigned designations with associated characteristics does not constitute an American National Standard. 3 Normative References The following standards contain provisions, which through reference in this text; constitute provisions of this Ame

37、 program: The procedures and requirements of this standard formulated to provide designations for lamps. electrical interchangeability: The ability to properly install a replacement lamp in a particular installation where electrical characteristics of lamps and luminaires are compatible with regard
38、to characteristics such as voltage, current, power, and open circuit voltage. key characteristic: A characteristic identified as having a critical effect on the interchangeability of lamps. lamp manufacturer: A manufacturer who produces finished lamps and offers them for sale physical interchangeabi
39、lity: The ability to properly install a replacement lamp in a particular installation, based on physical characteristics such as base type, bulb size, and lamp length. reflector lamp: A discharge lamp in which part of the bulb, of suitable shape, is coated with a reflecting material so as to control
40、 the light. Note: HID reflector lamps typically employ R or PAR-shaped bulbs. sponsor: The originator of a lamp designation request form. 5 Description of a Designation 5.1 General A lamp designation code shall consist of a combination of letters and numbers in the following sequence: a) Lamp Type C
41、lassification Letterb) Electrical Characteristic Numberc) Luminaire Characteristic LetterQuartz and ceramic metal halide lamps shall be marked with all three items. Other HID lamp types shall be marked with the first two items. Other lamp types may also be marked with the luminaire characteristic le
42、tter. Consult the lamp manufacturer before use on ballasts with any code that is not listed on the lamp. ANSI C78.380-2016 Page 3 2016 National Electrical Manufacturers Association The code layout is as follows. Other than the use of virgules, as defined in this standard, there shall be no spaces or
43、 other undefined symbols or separators used in a designation1.5.2 Lamp type classification letter The first letter of a designation represents the high-intensity discharge lamp classification. Classification letters are capital letters from the following list of authorized letters. B Self-ballasted
44、mercury lamps C Ceramic metal halide lamps H Mercury lamps L Low-pressure sodium lamps M Quartz metal halide lamps S High-pressure sodium lamps Note: When designations of other types of high-intensity discharge lamps are requested, other letters shall be chosen to represent the new classifications.
45、A single letter, other than those already assigned, shall be assigned by the consulting body to represent each additional class of high-intensity discharge lamp. 1 Lamps that do not conform to an existing electrical characteristic number shall be marked as described in paragraph 5.1 with an undersco

47、l follow directly after the lamp type classification, and it represents the set of all key electrical characteristics of the lamp in question, so as to ensure electrical interchangeability. One set of numbers is the source for all assignments of characteristic numbers, and characteristic numbers can
48、 be used for more than one lamp classification type as long as the additional type conforms to the key electrical characteristics for an additional type in Annex B. For example, a 150 W ceramic metal halide lamp that is intended to operate on a ballast intended for M102 quartz metal halide lamps wou
