12、e process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. 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
13、 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 use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude a
14、nyone, whether he has approved the standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any
15、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. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on
16、 the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of
17、 approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

31、scent lamps intended for application on conventional line frequency circuits, and electronic high-frequency (HF) circuits. Some data sheets may specify more than one circuit application. Specifications for both the lamp itself and the interactive features of the lamp and ballast are given. Only doub
32、le-based lamps of the regular linear shape are included. Single-based lamps, including compact, circular, square-shaped and U-shaped, are found in ANSI C78.901. Lamps for conventional systems relying on auxiliary support from external ballasts are described. These lamps are those designed for 60 Hz
33、and/or HF operation. Lamp color is not specified herein. Certain lamp types covered in this standard may be similar to those in IEC 60081. However, additional types are included that are used only in North America and are not specified in the IEC standard. 1.1 Important Patent Disclaimer At the time
34、 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 National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) did not know of any patent applications, patents pending, or existing patents. NEM
35、A 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 general information. Detailed descriptions, references, and explanations of the terms used in the lamp data sheets are given. The principle
36、s of dimensioning lamps, both as finished lamps and for maximum outline purposes, are defined. Part II Contains dimensioning principles and lamp outline drawings. Part III Contains the annexes. Part IV Contains the lamp data sheets for the lamp classes covered in this standard. Sheets adopted from I
37、EC are not included, but a source reference is listed. 3 Normative References The following standards contain provisions 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 s
38、ubject 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.

42、For related definitions see ANSI C82.13 and the electrical dictionary ANSI/IEEE 100. 5 Lamp Abbreviations Lamp abbreviations for fluorescent lamps are not officially assigned through any administered designation system. Those used on the data sheets are assigned in accordance with the Guidelines of
43、Annex A. There is no requirement for the use of these abbreviations for lamp marking. For some lamp types the referenced data sheet has been adopted from IEC publication 60081. These sheets do not contain a lamp abbreviation per Annex A. They are marked with an IEC designation code (ILCOS), but that
44、 code is not used in the USA. 6 Methods of Measurement Electrical measurements necessary to determine the performance of lamps defined 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 flu
45、orescent lamps shall meet the general requirements set forth in the reference ballast standard (ANSI C82.3). It should be noted that the reference ballast standard requires a power factor of 0.075 0.005 for all fluorescent reference ballasts, unless otherwise specified on a lamp data sheet. Also, no
46、te that rapid-start reference ballasts called for in this standard include 3.6 V cathode heating. ANSI C78.81-2014 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 3 8 Product Drawings The drawings included in Part II are product drawings that show the applications of the various coded dimensions
47、that appear on the data sheets. Drawings are only needed to depict families of lamps; the particular values vary within a family in accordance with the values on the relevant lamp data sheet. No attempt has been made to provide maximum outline drawings to show the space occupied by the lamps. They a
48、re not provided because the need for such has not been established. 9 Application of Lamps on More Than One Type of Circuit Lamp manufacturers may form an industry consensus approving the use of a particular lamp type on more than one type of circuit. In such cases, the lamp data sheet will show the
49、 information for all of the appropriate circuits. 10 Lamp Physical and Dimensional Requirements 10.1 Bulb Specifications Each lamp data sheet in Part IV specifies the necessary bulb shape and tube diameter. Bulb shapes are defined in the bulb nomenclature standard (ANSI C79.1). Due to the long-established practice of referring to the diameter of fluorescent lamp bulbs in eighth-of-an-inch units, this standard maintains that practice. For example, a 1-inch diameter bulb is called a T8 bulb. Metric diameters in millimeters (mm) are
