Controlgear for electric light sources - Safety - Part 2-10: Particular requirements for electronic controlgear for high-frequency operation of cold start tubular discharge lamps (neon tubes) (IEC 61347-2-10:2024)

IEC 61347-2-10:2024 is available as IEC 61347-2-10:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 61347-2-10:2024 specifies safety requirements for electronic controlgear for high-frequency operation of tubular cold-cathode discharge lamps used in signs and luminous discharge tube installations and operating with an output voltage exceeding 1 000 V but not exceeding 10 000 V for direct connection to DC or AC supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V (at 50 Hz or 60 Hz in case of alternating current). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000 and Amendment 1:2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) introduction of dated references as appropriate;
b) clarification of sample item numbers.

IEC 61347-2-10:2024 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61347-2-10:2024 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L'IEC 61347-2-10:2024 spécifie les exigences de sécurité des appareillages électroniques destinés à l'alimentation en haute fréquence des lampes à décharge tubulaires à cathode froide utilisées dans les enseignes et les installations à tubes à décharge lumineux et qui fonctionnent à une tension de sortie supérieure à 1 000 V, mais ne dépassant pas 10 000 V, pour la connexion directe à des tensions d'alimentation inférieures ou égales à 1 000 V en courant continu ou courant alternatif (à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz en courant alternatif). Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2000 et l'Amendement 1:2008. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout de références datées le cas échéant;
b) clarification des numéros d'entités d'échantillonnage.
