INTRODUCTION

This first edition of IEC 61347-2-1, published in conjunction with IEC 61347-1, represents an

editorial review of IEC 60926 The formatting into separately published parts provides for ease

of future amendments and revisions Additional requirements will be added as and when a

need for them is recognized

This standard, and the parts which make up IEC 61347-2, in referring to any of the clauses of

IEC 61347-1, specify the extent to which such a clause is applicable and the order in which the

tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements, as necessary All parts

which make up IEC 61347-2 are self-contained and, therefore, do not include references to

each other

Where the requirements of any of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard

by the phrase ”The requirements of clause n of IEC 61347-1 apply”, this phrase is interpreted

as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of part 1 apply, except any which are

clearly inapplicable to the specific type of lamp controlgear covered by this particular part of

Trang 9

LAMP CONTROLGEAR – Part 2-1: Particular requirements for starting devices

(other than glow starters)

1 Scope

This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for starting devices (starters

other than glow starters and ignitors) for fluorescent and other discharge lamps for use on a.c

supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz which produce starting pulses not greater than 100 kV

and which are used in combination with lamps and ballasts covered in IEC 60081, IEC 60188,

IEC 60192, IEC 60662, IEC 60901, IEC 61167, IEC 61195, IEC 61199, IEC 61347-2-8 and

IEC 61347-2-9

It does not apply to glow starters or starting devices which are incorporated in discharge lamps

or which are manually operated Preheat transformers for fluorescent lamps are covered by

IEC 61347-2-8

NOTE Glow starters are dealt with in IEC 60155.

Performance requirements are given in IEC 60927

2 Normative references

For the purpose of this part of IEC 61347, the normative references given in clause 2 of

IEC 61347-1 which are mentioned in this standard apply, together with the following normative

references

3 Definitions

For the purpose of this part of IEC 61347, the definitions given in clause 3 of IEC 61347-1

apply, together with the following:

3.1

starting device/ignitor

apparatus which provides, by itself or in combination with other components in the circuit, the

appropriate electrical conditions needed to start a discharge type of lamp

3.2

starter

starting device, usually for fluorescent lamps, which provides for the necessary preheating of

the electrodes and may, in combination with the series impedance of the ballast, cause a surge

in the voltage applied to the lamp

NOTE The starter element that releases the starting voltage pulse may be either triggered, for example,

phase-angle synchronized, or non-triggered.

3.3

starting device with operating time limitation

starting device which prevents prolonged attempts to start lamps which refuse to start, for

example, lamps with deactivated electrodes

NOTE Prevention of starting attempts means that in the case of starters, the starting-current circuit is switched off

and/or the current in the starting circuit is limited to a value equal to or smaller than the rated lamp current.

In the case of ignitors, prevention of starting attempts means that pulse generation has ceased, or voltage pulses

are significantly reduced in amplitude.

In addition to the requirements of this clause of IEC 61347-2-1 for built-in starting devices the normal and the abnormal operating condition are checked together with the luminaire in accordance with IEC 60598-1

15.2 Normal operation 15.2.1 General

Normal conditions are working conditions in which one or more of the following situations apply:

a) lamps are operating normally;

b) rated current flows through the starting device;

c) the starting device has been connected to a voltage source, for example, the mains voltage or the lamp voltage arising during normal operation;

d) combination of b) and c)

15.2.2 Normal operation of built-in starting devices

Compliance of built-in starting device in normal operation is checked by the following procedure

The starting devices are connected as for normal use with appropriate lamps

The built-in starting device shall be placed in a test enclosure as detailed in annex D of IEC 61347-1, the starting device being supported by two wooden blocks as shown in figure H.1 of IEC 61347-1

The requirements of clause 5 of IEC 61347-1 apply, together with the following additional

requirements:

Starting devices intended for use with lamps having different electrical characteristics are

tested with the lamp which gives the most unfavourable conditions

7 Marking

In accordance with the requirements of 7.2 of IEC 61347-1, starting devices shall be clearly

and durably marked with the following markings:

– items a), b), c) and f) of 7.1 of IEC 61347-1, together with

– a marking to show the peak value of the voltage produced if the peak value exceeds

1 500 V Connections having this voltage shall be marked; for ignitors with a pulse voltage

over 5 kV, this marking shall be a flash symbol (broken arrow) (see ISO 3864)

The marking of the earthing terminal is not required for ignitors over 5 kV because these are

mandatorily provided with a time limitation

In addition to the above mandatory markings, the following information, if applicable, shall be

given on the starting device, or be made available in the manufacturer’s catalogue or similar:

– the catalogue reference of the ballast which may be associated with the starting device, if

the ballast design governs the magnitude of the pulse voltage;

8 Protection against accidental contact with live parts

The requirements of clause 10 of IEC 61347-1 apply

9 Terminals

10 Provisions for earthing

11 Moisture resistance and insulation

The requirements of clause 11 of IEC 61347-1 apply together with the following:

Electric components, enclosures and other parts which can be removed without the aid of a

tool are removed and subjected, if necessary, to the humidity treatment with the main part

In order to achieve the specified conditions within the cabinet, it is necessary to ensure

constant circulation of the air within and, in general, to use a cabinet which is thermally

insulated

With double or reinforced insulation, the resistance shall be not less than 7 M

Care should be taken to avoid the moisture content of the devices at the end of the moisture

In accordance with the requirements of 7.2 of IEC 61347-1, starting devices shall be clearly

and durably marked with the following markings:

1 500 V Connections having this voltage shall be marked; for ignitors with a pulse voltage

over 5 kV, this marking shall be a flash symbol (broken arrow) (see ISO 3864)
