29、 performance requirements for ballasts for discharge lamps. In order to obtain satisfactory performance of discharge lamps and their associated ballasts, it is necessary that certain features of their design be properly coordinated. Therefore, it is essential that specifications for them be written
30、in terms of measurements made against some common baseline of reference, which should be permanent and reproducible. These conditions may be fulfilled by special or selected inductive-type ballasts, called “reference ballasts“. These ballasts may be used for testing ordinary ballasts and for the sel
31、ection of reference lamps. Moreover, the testing of ballasts requires a clear definition of testing methods. This testing will, in general, be made with reference lamps and, in particular, by comparing results obtained on such lamps with these ballasts and with the reference ballast. Because of the
32、special characteristics of discharge lamps, two ranges of supply voltage variation had to be considered. Whenever safety is involved, the classical range of variation from 90 % to 110 % of the rated supply voltage is retained, but for certain clauses where only operational conditions are concerned a
33、 smaller range from 92 % to 106 % of the rated value has been considered. EN 60923:2005 6 AUXILIARIES FOR LAMPS BALLASTS FOR DISCHARGE LAMPS (EXCLUDING TUBULAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS) PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS 1 Scope This International Standard specifies performance requirements for ballasts for discharg
34、e lamps such as high-pressure mercury vapour, low-pressure sodium vapour, high-pressure sodium vapour and metal halide lamps. Clauses 12 through 15 each detail specific requirements for a particular type of ballast. This standard covers inductive type ballasts for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V
35、at 50 Hz to 60 Hz associated with discharge lamps, having rated wattage, dimensions and characteristics as specified in the relevant IEC lamp standards. NOTE 1 For certain types of discharge lamps an ignitor is required. NOTE 2 Extension of the standard to cover ballasts incorporating, or for use wi
36、th, series capacitors is under consideration. NOTE 3 The performance requirements of ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps are covered by IEC 60921. NOTE 4 There are regional standards regarding the regulation of mains current harmonics for end-products such as luminaires and independent control ge
37、ar. In a luminaire the control gear is dominant in this respect. Control gear, together with other components, should comply with these standards. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

40、ts for discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) 3 Terms and definitions The terms and definitions given in IEC 61347-2-9 and IEC 61347-1 apply. 7 EN 60923:2005 4 General notes on tests Tests according to this specification are type tests. NOTE The requirements and tolerances permitted by this s
41、tandard are based on testing of a type test sample submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle this type test sample should consist of units having characteristics typical of the manufacturers production and be as close to the production centre point values as possible. It may be ex
42、pected with the tolerances given in the standard that products manufactured in accordance with the type test sample will comply with the standard for the majority of the production. Due to the production spread, however, it is inevitable that there will sometimes be ballasts outside the specified to
43、lerances. For guidance of sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes, see IEC 60410. The tests are carried out in the order of the clauses, unless otherwise specified. One sample is submitted to all tests. In general all tests are made on each type of ballast or, where a range of sim
44、ilar ballasts is involved, for each rated wattage in the range, or a representative selection from the range, as agreed with the manufacturer. Reference ballasts and reference lamps shall be in accordance with Annexes A and B. The tests are made under the conditions specified in Annex C. All ballast
45、s specified in this standard shall meet the requirements of IEC 61347-2-9 and IEC 61347-1. 5 Marking The following additional marking is included, if appropriate: Circuit power-factor, e.g. 0,85. 6 Ballasts designed to operate at various supply voltages If a ballast is rated for more than one value
46、of supply voltage, it shall comply with the relevant clauses of this specification at all voltages for which it is marked. In case of a ballast with taps, it is tested using the appropriate tappings. 7 Circuit power-factor The measured circuit power-factor shall not differ from the marked value by m
47、ore than 0,05 when the ballast is operated with one or more appropriate lamp(s) and the whole combination is supplied at its rated voltage and frequency. In cases where a minimum value of the power-factor is required for a high power-factor ballast, it shall be 0,85 measured under the conditions sta
48、ted above. For these high power-factor ballasts, the measured value shall in no case be less than 0,85. NOTE The United States of America requires a power-factor of at least 0,9 for high power-factor ballasts. Attention is drawn to lamp performance standards which contain “information for ballast de
49、sign”. This information should be followed for proper lamp operation. However, this standard does not require the testing of lamp performance as part of the type test approval for ballasts. !“EN 60923:2005 8 8 Supply current At rated voltage, the supply current shall not differ by more than 10 % from the value marked on the ballast when the latter is operated with a reference lamp. 9 Current waveform 9.1 Lamp operating current waveform The m
