3 Definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the definitions given in IEC 60050 (IEV) apply,
together with the following.
NOTE 1 Sections 602 - 605 of IEC 60050 contain definitions relating to the generation, transmission and distribution
of electricity.
NOTE 2 Where the terms 'voltage' and 'current' are used, they refer to r.m.s. values, unless otherwise stated.
3.1
luminous-discharge tube
tube, or other vessel or device, which is constructed of translucent material, hermetically sealed,
and designed for the emission of light arising from the passage of an electric current through a
gas or vapour contained within it
NOTE The tube may be with or without a fluorescent coating.
3.2
no-load rated output voltage
maximum rated voltage between the terminals of the output winding(s) of the transformer,
inverter or converter connected to the rated supply voltage at rated frequency, with no load on
the output circuit
NOTE 1 For output circuits supplied by transformers, it is the peak value divided by the square root of 2 (see
EN 61050).
NOTE 2 For output circuits supplied by inverters or converters, it is the r.m.s. value or the peak value divided by 2,
whichever is the greater (see EN 61347-2-10).
3.3
creepage distance
shortest path between two conductive parts or between a live part and an accessible surface of
an enclosure, earthed metalwork or flammable materials, measured along the surface of the
insulation material
3.4
clearance
shortest distance between two conductive parts or between a live part and an accessible surface
of an enclosure, earthed metalwork or flammable materials, measured through the air
3.5
transformer
a static piece of apparatus with two or more windings which, by electromagnetic induction,
transforms a system of alternating voltage and current into another system of voltage and current
usually of different values and at the same frequency for the purpose of transmitting electrical
power
[IEV 421-01-01]
NOTE The high output impedance of most transformers designed for cold-cathode discharge tubes allows the
characteristics of transformer and current-limiting components to be combined in one unit.
3.6
inverter
transducer that converts direct current to alternating current
3.7
converter
unit for the electronic conversion of an a.c. supply at one frequency to an a.c. supply at another
frequency
NOTE The voltage may or may not be altered during the conversion.
3.8
insulating sleeve
insulation designed to be placed over the exposed high-voltage connections at tube electrodes
or over cable-end insulators
3.9
installer
person, qualified in sign installation practice, who takes responsibility for the installation and its
testing in accordance with this standard
3.10
earth-leakage protective device
device which will remove the output power from one or more transformer(s), inverter(s) or
converter(s) in the event of a short circuit between any relevant part of the output circuit and
earth
3.11
open-circuit protective device
device which will remove the output power from one or more transformer(s), inverter(s) or
converter(s) in the event of an interruption of the secondary high voltage circuit
3.12
live part
conductor or conductive part intended to be energized in normal operation, including a neutral
conductor but, by convention, not a PEN conductor, PEM conductor or a PEL conductor.
NOTE This concept does not necessarily imply a risk of electric shock.
3.13
input circuit
that part of the device or installation between the point at which electrical energy is supplied to
an installation and the input terminals of the transformer, converter or inverter
NOTE Also known as a 'mains supply circuit'.
3.14
output circuit
that part of the device or installation between the output terminals of the transformer, converter
or inverter and the discharge tubes inclusive
NOTE Also known as a 'lamp circuit'.
3.15
arm's reach
zone extending from any point on a surface where persons usually stand or move about to the
limits which a person can reach with the hand in any direction without assistance
NOTE This zone of accessibility is shown in Figure 1 in which the values refer to bare hands without any assistance,
e.g. from tools or from a ladder.
3.16
outdoors
location where all or part of a sign or luminous-discharge-tube installation or its components are
situated out of doors and are subject to the effects of weather
3.17
dry room; dry location
room or location where condensation does not usually occur or the air is not saturated with
moisture
– 7 – EN 50107-1:2002
3.18
damp or wet room
room where the safety of the sign or luminous-discharge-tube installation could be affected by
humidity, condensation, chemical or similar influences
3.19
small portable sign
small sign which can easily be moved from one place to another; which is supplied with an
integral transformer, inverter or converter, together with a flexible mains supply lead and plug;
and which is intended to be installed and connected by the customer to a socket outlet of the
mains supply
3.20
flasher
device for automatically switching one or more output circuits on and off continuously
NOTE The sequence of switching of the various output circuits may be suitably arranged to provide the impression
of movement and other animated effects.
4 Means of attachment of signs
Electrical conductors shall be not used as means of suspension or attachment of signs.
5 Drain holes
In sign enclosures intended for external use, arrangements shall be made to allow moisture to
drain away. Drain holes or si
