Electronic Ballast Standards

Requirements for electronic ballasts for use on d.c. supplies having rated voltages not exceeding 250 V associated with fluorescent lamps complying with IEC 60081.

This standards publication contains energy-efficiency requirements for evaluating electronic ballasts designed for use with four-foot 32-watt T8 fluorescent lamps with a lumen output greater than or equal to 3100 lumens.

This standard provides specifications for and operating characteristics of, high-frequency electronic ballasts for metal halide lamps. Electronic ballasts are devices that use semiconductors to control lamp starting and operation. The ballasts operate from...

This standard provides specifications for and operating characteristics of low-frequency square wave electronic ballasts for metal halide lamps. Electronic ballasts are devices that use semiconductors to control lamp starting and operation. The ballasts operate...

Requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts formerly called transistorized ballasts.

This standard specifies the performance and constructional requirements, and associated tests, for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts used to supply fluorescent lamps for lighting on railway rolling stock. Its requirements replace those of EN 60925 for all railway rolling stock...

This standard specifies general and safety requirements for electronic ballasts for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency, associated with tubular fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 81 and other tubular...

This International Standard specifies the performance and constructional requirements, and associated tests, for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts used to supply fluorescent lamps for lighting on railway rolling stock. Its requirements replace those of IEC 61347 for all railway...

CISPR 30, which is a technical report, details, with the aid of reference luminaires, an independent method by which the radio disturbance characteristics of electronic ballasts for Class I fluorescent lamp luminaires may be compared against the requirements of CISPR 15. This...

IEC 62718:2013 specifies the performance and constructional requirements, and associated tests, for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts used to supply fluorescent lamps for lighting on railway rolling stock. Its requirements replace those of IEC 61347 for all railway rolling stock...

This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts intended for operation from transient and surge-free power sources, operated directly from batteries without charging equipment as used in leisure equipment, for example, caravans,...

This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular general and safety requirements for d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic ballasts. The supply comprises a.c. voltages up to 1000 V at 50 Hz/60 Hz. The type of ballast is an convertor that may contain igniting and stabilising elements for...

Introduction Switching off fluorescent lamps whenever a room is unoccupied saves energy. Energy codes mandate automatic shutoff of non-residential buildings. Occupancy sensors mandated switching off lighting when leaving a room, and automated building systems save energy by removing lighting load...
