AC and/or DC-supplied electronic controlgear for discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) - Performance requirements for low frequency squarewave operation
This International Standard specifies performance requirements for electronic controlgear for
use on a.c. and/or d.c. supplies up to 1 000 V and/or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or
60 Hz, associated with discharge lamps, as specified in IEC 61167, which have information
for low frequency square wave operation, where the frequency range of the low frequency is
from 70 Hz to 400 Hz.
Tests in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual controlgear during
production are not included.
There are regional standards regarding the regulation of mains current harmonics and
immunity for end products like luminaires and independent controlgear. In a luminaire, the
controlgear is dominant in this respect. Controlgear, together with other components, should
comply with these standards.

Ta mednarodni standard določa tehnične zahteve za elektronsko krmilje za uporabo pri izmeničnem in/ali enosmernem napajanju do 1000 V in/ali izmeničnem napajanju do 1000 V pri 50 Hz ali 60 Hz, povezane z razelektritvenimi sijalkami, kot je določeno v standardu IEC 61167, z informacijami za obratovanje pri nizkofrekvenčnih pravokotnih valovanjih, pri čemer je frekvenčni razpon nizke frekvence od 70 Hz do 400 Hz.
Preskusi, obravnavani v tem standardu, so tipski preskusi. Zahteve za preskušanje posameznih krmilj med proizvodnjo niso vključene.
Obstajajo regionalni standardi v zvezi z upravljanjem harmonikov napajalnega toka in odpornostjo za končne izdelke, kot so svetilke in neodvisno krmilje. V svetilki je v tem smislu prevladujoče krmilje. Krmilje naj bi bilo skupaj z drugimi sestavnimi deli v skladu s temi standardi.

AC AND/OR DC-SUPPLIED ELECTRONIC CONTROLGEAR
FOR DISCHARGE LAMPS (EXCLUDING FLUORESCENT LAMPS) –
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR
LOW FREQUENCY SQUARE WAVE OPERATION
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard covers performance requirements for electronic controlgear for
use on a.c., at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and/or d.c. supplies up to 1 000 V associated with discharge
lamps as specified in IEC 61167 for low frequency square wave operation.
In order to obtain satisfactory performance of discharge lamps and electronic controlgears, it
is necessary that certain features of their design be properly coordinated. It is essential,
therefore, that specifications for them be written in terms of measurement made against some
common baseline of reference, permanent and reproducible.
These conditions may be fulfilled by reference ballasts. Moreover, the testing of controlgear
for discharge lamps will, in general, be made with reference lamps and, in particular, by
comparing the results obtained using these lamps on the controlgear to be tested and on the
reference ballast. Whereas the reference ballast for frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz is a self-
inductive coil, the low frequency square wave reference ballast is a resistor because of its
independence of frequency and the lack of influence of parasitic capacitance.
