31、004 Introduction This standard is a consolidation of three previous Method of Measurement standards: C78.386, Mercury Lamps Methods of Measuring Characteristics C78.387, Metal Halide Lamps Methods of Measuring Characteristics C78.388, High-Pressure Sodium Lamps Methods of Measuring Characteristics.
32、The reason for the consolidation is that in most cases the method of measurement is identical for all three High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp types. However, some statements refer to only one or two of the three types. When reference to one or two lamp types is necessary the given lamp type discus
33、sed is either given a separate sub-clause or the name of the lamp type is shown in bold text. 1. Scope and purpose This standard describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be observed in measuring the electrical characteristics of high intensity discharge lamps as specified in th
34、e American National Standard Specifications for Mercury (Hg), High-pressure Sodium (HPS) and Metal Halide (MH) Lamps, as referenced in clause 2, Normative references.1It is the purpose of this standard to outline methods of measurement that will make it possible to obtain reproducible and accurate m
35、easurements of High Intensity Discharge lamp characteristics. Deviations from the procedures given in this standard are permissible for production or other testing, provided that the methods used give results in substantial agreement with the methods given herein. In cases of doubt, reference shall
36、be made to the methods specified in the appropriate American National standard, referenced in clause 2, to establish the validity of the results obtained by any alternate procedure. 2. Normative references The following standards contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute pr
37、ovisions 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 the possibility of applying the most recent editions of
38、the standards indicated below.

General This section covers the measurement of lamp current, voltage, and power for mercury, high-pressure sodium and metal h
44、alide lamps, i.e., High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps, as measured on a reference ballast having a sinusoidal voltage input. In order to start the lamp on a reference ballast, a voltage higher than the specified voltage may be required. An external starting aid is preferred (for example, a Tesla c
45、oil) in this case. Due to their temperature behavior double-ended metal halide lamps must be operated in luminaires exclusively. Therefore, for measurement purposes, lamps must be operated within a luminaire simulator Most HID lamps have a glass outer jacket to absorb UV radiation. If this jacket is
46、 broken, the lamp should immediately be extinguished. Some lamps require additional UV protection. Refer to the luminaire code letter, ANSI C78.380 and the manufacturers instructions for additional information. Some metal halide lamps may rupture resulting in the discharge of glass fragments and ext
47、remely hot particles. Follow the safety instructions from the lamp manufacturer to minimize the risk to personnel and property. 3.2. Power supply 3.2.1. Harmonic content The supply voltage shall have a voltage wave shape such that the root-mean-square (rms) summation of the harmonic components shall
48、 not exceed 3% of the fundamental. 3.2.2. Voltage regulation The supply voltage should be as steady and free from changes as possible. For best results, the voltage shall be regulated to within g177 0.5%. If adequate automatic regulation is not available, constant checking and readjustments are essential if accurate measurements of lamp characteristics are to be obtained. 3.2.3. Source Impedance The power supply impedance, as measured at the point where the reference ballast and lamp are connected, shall not exceed 2 % of the
