AC and/or DC-supplied electronic control gear for tubular fluorescent lamps - Performance requirements

IEC 60929:2011 specifies performance requirements for electronic control gear for use on a.c. at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and/or d.c. supplies, both up to 1 000 V, with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency, associated with fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 60081 and IEC 60901, and other fluorescent lamps for high-frequency operation. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2006, IEC 60925 published in 1989, its Amendment 1 (1996) and its Amendment 2 (2001). This fourth edition constitutes a technical revision. The essential change with respect to the third edition is the extension to DC supplied control gear and the deletion of the requirements for digital signal control of electronic control gear. The contents of the corrigendum of September 2011 have been included in this copy.

Wechsel- und/oder gleichstromversorgte elektronische Betriebsgeräte für röhrenförmige Leuchtstofflampen - Anforderungen an die Arbeitsweise

Appareillages électroniques alimentés en courant alternatif et/ou continu pour lampes tubulaires à fluorescence - Exigences de performances

La CEI 60929:2011 spécifie les exigences de performances pour les appareillages électroniques alimentés en courant alternatif 50 Hz ou 60 Hz et/ou continu jusqu'à 1 000 V à, avec des fréquences de travail s'écartant de la fréquence d'alimentation, et utilisés en association avec des lampes à fluorescence comme celles indiquées dans la CEI 60081 et la CEI 60901, ou avec d'autres types de lampes à fluorescence pour fonctionnement à haute fréquence. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2006, la CEI 60925 parue en 1989, son amendement 1 (1996) et son amendement 2 (2001). Cette quatrième édition constitue une révision technique. Les modifications majeures par rapport à la troisième édition concernent l'extension aux appareillages alimentés en courant continu et la suppression des exigences pour les commandes par signaux numériques des appareillages électroniques. Le contenu du corrigendum de septembre 2011 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

Izmenično napajane elektronske predstikalne naprave za cevaste fluorescenčne svetilke - Tehnične zahteve

Ta mednarodni standard določa tehnične zahteve za elektronske predstikalne naprave za
uporabo pri izmeničnem 50 Hz ali 60 Hz in/ali enosmernem napajanju do 1000 V, s frekvencami delovanja, ki odstopajo od frekvenc napajanja, povezanimi s fluorescenčnimi svetilkami, kot je določeno v IEC 60081 in IEC 60901 in drugimi fluorescenčnimi svetilkami za visokofrekvenčno delovanje.
OPOMBA 1: Preskusi v tem standardu so tipski. Zahteve za preskušanje posameznih predstikalnih naprav med proizvodnjo niso vključene.
OPOMBA 2: Glede ureditve harmonik toka v omrežjih ter odpornosti končnih proizvodov, kot so svetila in neodvisne predstikalne naprave, obstajajo regijski standardi. Pri sijalki v zvezi s tem prevladuje predstikalna naprava.
Predstikalna naprava in druge komponente morajo biti v skladu s temi standardi.
