12、82.17-2017 Page i AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National 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 Americ
13、an 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 of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly, and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement
14、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 toward their resolution. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether s/he has
15、 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 guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and the general public. The American National Standards Institute, Inc., does not de
16、velop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard.

25、turers Association ANSI C82.17-2017 Page 1 2017 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1 Scope This standard provides specifications for and operating characteristics of, high-frequency electronic ballasts for metal halide lamps. Electronic ballasts are devices that use semiconductors to cont
26、rol lamp starting and operation. The ballasts operate from multiple supply sources up to 600V maximum at a frequency of 60 hertz. This standard covers electronic ballasts with sinusoidal lamp operating current frequencies above 40 kHz. 2 Normative References The following standards contain provision
27、s, which through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this American National Standard. At the 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 th
