Controlgear for electric light sources - Safety - Part 1: General requirements

IEC 61347-1:2024 specifies general safety requirements for controlgear for electric light sources for use on DC supplies up to 1 500 V or AC supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015 and Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) complete review of document structure, including but not limited to what is individually described under items b) to s); b) removal of requirements for electromagnetic controlgear; c) addition of more specific requirements for control circuit insulation and corresponding marking; d) merging of thermal test requirements for transformers into a new Clause 16; e) clarification of specifications for the moisture resistance test; f) update of the normative reference to standards of the transformer series IEC 61558; g) correction of the normative reference for PCB testing with respect to flames and fire; h) update of further normative references where appropriate; i) allowance of an alternative DC electric strength test; j) addition of specific provisions for the use of bridging capacitors; k) update of fire hazard testing requirements; l) introduction of requirements for PELV applications; m) clearance distances now generally based on peak instead of RMS voltage values; n) introduction of a new type of protected emergency lighting controlgear; o) review and clarification of touch current and voltage requirements; p) clarification of the test sequence for independent controlgear with respect to the application of the IEC 60598 series versus the IEC 61347 series; q) introduction of reduced touch voltages and currents for interrupted DC voltage applications or pulse width modulation (PWM); r) changes concerning the recommendations for electric strength routine testing; s) merging of requirements for safety isolating controlgear from former Annex L into the main body of the document; t) introduction of Annex N intended to address touch current measurement; u) introduction of Annex O intended to provide information on document reorganization.

Appareillages de commande pour les sources de lumière électriques - Sécurité - Partie 1: Exigences générales

L'IEC 61347-1:2024 spécifie les exigences de sécurité générales des appareillages pour sources de lumière électriques destinés à être utilisés avec des alimentations inférieures ou égales à 1 500 V en courant continu ou avec des alimentations inférieures ou égales à 1 000 V en courant alternatif à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2015 et l'Amendement 1:2017. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) revue complète de la structure du document, notamment les points b) à s) ci-dessous; b) suppression des exigences relatives aux appareillages électromagnétiques; c) ajout d'exigences plus spécifiques pour l'isolation du circuit de commande et le marquage correspondant; d) fusion des exigences relatives aux essais thermiques des transformateurs dans un nouvel Article 16; e) clarification des spécifications pour l'essai de résistance à l'humidité; f) mise à jour des références normatives avec l'ajout de la série IEC 61558 relative aux transformateurs; g) correction de la référence normative pour les essais des cartes de circuits imprimés, notamment pour l'évaluation de la résistance aux flammes et au feu; h) mise à jour d'autres références normatives, le cas échéant; i) ajout d'une variante pour l'essai de rigidité électrique sous un courant continu; j) ajout de dispositions spécifiques au raccordement en pont de condensateurs; k) mise à jour des exigences d'essais relatifs aux risques du feu; l) ajout d'exigences pour les applications TBTP; m) les distances d'isolement sont désormais déterminées généralement à partir des tensions de crête et non des valeurs de tension efficace; n) ajout d'un nouveau type d'appareillage protégé pour l'éclairage de secours; o) examen et clarification des exigences relatives au courant et à la tension de contact; p) clarification de la séquence des essais pour les appareillages indépendants, selon la série IEC 60598 ou la série IEC 61347 appliquée; q) ajout de valeurs de tension et de courant de contact inférieures pour les tensions continues interrompues ou la modulation de largeur d'impulsions (MLI); r) modification des recommandations relatives aux essais individuels de série de rigidité électrique; s) fusion des exigences relatives aux appareillages de sécurité de l'ancienne Annexe L dans le corps du document; t) ajout de l'Annexe N afin de couvrir le mesurage des courants de contact; u) ajout de l'Annexe O afin de fournir des informations sur la réorganisation des documents.
