3、roval of an American National Standard requires verification by 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 concerned with its scope and provi
4、sions. 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. Consensus requires that all
5、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 from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standar

The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authorit

In order to obtain satisfactory performance of high-intensity-dis
16、charge lamps and their associated ballasts, certain features of their designs must be properly coordinated. Specifications for the operation of either the lamps or the ballasts must naturally be written in terms of measurements made against some common reference. Because of the inherent instability
17、of gaseous discharge lamps, experience has shown them to be unsuited as a reference. A ballast, however, can be specially designed to provide a reasonably permanent and reproducible reference for measurements. Such ballasts are designated as “reference ballasts.“ This standard describes those ballas
18、t characteristics needed to ensure permanence and reproducibility. American National Standards are constantly being reviewed and brought up to date. This standard is a revision of American National Standard Specifications for High-intensity Discharge Lamp Reference Ballasts, ANSI C82.5-1990. There a
19、re four annexes in this standard. They are informative and are not considered part of this standard. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the American National Standard Lighting Group, 1300 N. 17th Street, Suite 1752, Rosslyn, VA 22209. This standard w

Scope This standard describes the essential features and operating characteristics of reference ballasts for high-intensity discha
23、rge and low-pressure sodium lamps to operate on 60-Hz sinusoidal ballast systems. The items specified are those that have been found necessary to ensure accurate and reproducible results when either lamps or ballasts are being tested. The specific values of rated input voltage and impedance needed f

32、erms that apply specifically to the subject treated in this standard are given in ANSI C82.9. For definitions of other less directly related terms, see the appropriate sections of ANSI/IEEE 100. 4.0 Types of reference ballasts There are two types of reference ballasts. The fixed-impedance type is ad
33、justed and calibrated at the time of manufacture and is permanently set at a particular value of impedance. It can be used only for the one type of lamp for which it was calibrated. The variable-impedance type of reference ballast consists of an adjustable reactor, usually of the moving core type, a
34、nd a separate variable resistor connected in series. 5.0 Ballast marking 5.1 Marking A reference ballast shall be provided with a durable nameplate securely attached to a permanent portion of the ballast structure. The information shown in 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 shall be legibly etched or stamped on it. 5.1
35、.1 Fixed-impedance type Information on the nameplate shall include the following: - Lamp type, watts, and current - Supply voltage and frequency - Impedance - Manufacturers catalog or model number - Manufacturers serial number - Manufacturers name 5.1.2 Variable-impedance type Information on the nam
36、eplate shall include the following: - Impedance range at the rated frequency(s) - Maximum voltage per coil and maximum voltage across reactor ANSI C82.5-2010 2010 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Page 9 of 26 - Maximum current per coil - Manufacturers catalog or model number - Manufactu
37、rers serial number - Manufacturers name - Frequency (s) - Connection diagram 5.2 Magnetic shielding If a reference ballast is magnetically-shielded, this information shall be indicated on the nameplate described in 5.1. 6.0 Design characteristics 6.1 General design A reference ballast is an inductiv
38、e reactor, with or without an additional series resistor, designed to give the operating characteristics listed in clause 7. 6.2 Permanence of impedance 6.2.1 Fixed-impedance-type ballasts Since the fixed-impedance type of reference ballast is intended to serve as a permanent baseline of reference,
39、it is vitally important that the ballast be so constructed as to provide permanence of impedance under normal conditions of use and abuse. A recheck of the impedance of the ballast shall give values repeatable to within 0.1% of those previously determined. 6.2.2 Variable-impedance type ballasts The
40、variable-impedance type of reference ballast, when adjusted to any given value of impedance shall be capable of holding that adjustment through normal periods of use. For this purpose, suitable means shall be provided for mechanically locking the movable core (or other movable parts) in any desired
41、position. 6.3 Enclosure A reference ballast shall be enclosed in a case for mechanical protection and protection against electrical shock. The protection against electrical shock shall be in accordance with ANSI/ISA S82.02.01-1999, and ANSI/ISA S82.02.04-1996 (IEC 1010-2-032). In the case of the var
42、iable-impedance type of ballast, the series resistor need not be in the same enclosure with the reactor. ANSI C82.5-2010 2010 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Page 10 of 26 6.4 Magnetic shielding A reference ballast, to be considered magnetically-shielded, shall be so designed and const
43、ructed that its impedance at reference current shall not be changed by more than 0.2% when a 1/2-inch-thick plate of magnetic steel is placed within 1 inch of any face of the ballast enclosure. The steel plate shall have dimensions at least 2 inches greater than the maximum dimension of the ballast
44、enclosure and shall be placed in geometric symmetry to each surface as tested. In the event that a reference ballast is not magnetically-shielded, precautions shall be taken to keep magnetic objects far enough from the leakage field that the impedance of the ballast will not be altered by more than
45、0.2% mentioned above.

46、s. 6.5 Inclusion of Instrument current coil Impedance When a variable-impedance type of reference ballast is being used, a choice may be made as to whether the impedance of the instrument current coils (the ammeter and wattmeter) will or will not be included as part of the impedance of the reference
47、 ballast. Either choice is satisfactory, but the other aspects of the calibrating procedure and also subsequent use of the ballast shall be compatible with the particular procedure being followed. For the sake of simplicity, the procedures described in this standard are those applicable when the imp
48、edance of the current coils is not included in the impedance of the reference ballast. Annex A, however, covers the changes in procedures and circuitry that would be required if the current coils were included. 7.0 Operating characteristics 7.1 General The specifications in this section apply to mea
49、surements made at the rated frequency of the reference ballast and with the ballast parts and windings conditioned at an ambient temperature of 25C 5C.
