ANSI C78.901-2016 Page i 2016 National Electrical Manufacturers Association AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American Na
12、tional Standard requires verification by The American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) that 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 concern
13、ed with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of 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.
14、Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made 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, purchasin
15、g, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. It is intended as a 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
16、any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation 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 a
17、ppears on this title page. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time.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. Purchasers of American Nati

27、rchangeability and to assist in proper application of single-based fluorescent lamps. Single-based compact fluorescent lamps, both self-supporting and those requiring auxiliary support, including circular-, square-, and U-shaped lamps, are specified. Specifications for the lamp itself and the intera
28、ctive features of the lamp with the ballast are given. Information for luminaire design is given for certain lamp types. The lamps covered in this standard are intended for use with external ballasts as described. These lamps are designed for 60 Hz and/or high frequency (HF) operation. Many of the l
29、amp types covered in this standard are closely comparable to those specified in IEC 60901. 1.1 Important Patent Disclaimer At the time of publication, it is possible that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. When this Standard was approved for publication, the N
30、ational Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) did not know of any patent applications, patents pending, or existing patents. NEMA shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. 2 General There are four parts to this standard. Part I Contains requirements and gener
31、al information. Detailed descriptions, references, and explanations of terms used in the lamp data sheets are given in this 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 d
32、rawings. Part III Contains the annexes. Part IV Contains all of the lamp data sheets for the lamp classes covered in this standard. 3 Normative References The following standards contain provisions, which through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this American National Standard.

33、e time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this American National Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.

40、 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 B. There is no requirement for the use of these abbreviations for lamp marking. For some lamp types, the referenced data sheet has
41、 been adopted from IEC publication 60901. These sheets do not contain a lamp abbreviation per Annex B. They are marked with an IEC designation code (ILCOS), but that code is not used in the USA. 6 Methods of Measurement Electrical measurements necessary to determine the performance of lamps defined
42、in this standard shall be made in accordance with the lamp measurements standard ANSI C78.375. 7 Reference Ballasts Reference ballasts used for measurements of fluorescent lamps shall meet the general requirements set forth in ANSI C82.3, American National Standard for Reference Ballasts for Fluores
43、cent Lamps. Note that the reference ballast standard requires a power factor of 0.075 0.005 for all 60 Hz fluorescent reference ballasts, unless otherwise specified on a lamp data sheet. A rapid-start reference ballast, when called for in this standard, includes 3.6 V cathode heating, unless otherwi
44、se specified on the relevant lamp data sheets. ANSI C78.901-2016 Page 3 2016 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 8 Product Drawings The drawings included in Part II are product drawings that show the applications of the various coded dimensions that appear on the data sheets. Drawings are
45、needed only to depict families of lamps. The particular values vary with a family in accordance with the values on the relevant lamp data sheet. For self-supporting compact lamps, the general shape and size of a lamps maximum outline is specified in relation to the same drawings and the “Max. Lamp O
46、utline” dimensions on a lamp data sheet. For the types of lamps covered in this standard, it has been industry practice to overlook minor bulb shape and construction differences in a maximum outline and to merely apply expanded values to the finished lamp dimension to specify the outline. 9 Applicat
47、ions of Lamps on More than One Type of Circuit Lamp data sheets in Part IV specify the intended circuit application. In some cases, a lamp may be used on more than one type of circuit. In such cases, the lamp data sheet will show the information for all of the appropriate circuits. If a particular l
48、amp class has been authorized by the lamp manufacturers for operation at HF conditions, the appropriate information will be supplied on the relevant lamp data sheet. 10 Lamp Physical and Dimensional Requirements 10.1 Bulb Specifications Each lamp data sheet in Part IV specifies the necessary bulb sh
49、ape, tube diameter, and final lamp shape. Bulb shapes are defined in the bulb nomenclature standard ANSI C78.79-2014. Due to the long-established practice of referring to the diameter of fluorescent lamp bulbs in eighths-of-an-inch units, this standard maintains that practice. For example, a ”-diameter bulb is called a T4 bulb. Metric diameters, in millimeters, are shown in parentheses immediately following the customary designation. The basic bulb shape of some single-based fluorescent lamps may be additio
