What is BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 – Lamp controlgear about?
BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 is an international standard that discusses the particular requirements for DC and/or AC electronics for fluorescent induction lamps. Lamp controlgear is used to stabilize the current.
BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 specifies particular safety requirements for electronic controlgear for use on AC supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and/or DC supplies with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency, associated with fluorescent induction lamps as specified in IEC 62532 and IEC 62639, for high-frequency operation.
Who is BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 – Lamp controlgear for?
BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 on requirements for DC and/or AC supplied electronic controlgear for fluorescent induction lamps applies to:
- Electronic engineer
- Quality testing of lamp control gear
- Quality testing of lamp control gear
- Manufacturer of lighting control gear
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 – Lamp controlgear?
Control gear is a part of the control equipment of fluorescent or discharge lamps, which is used to stabilise the current. The induction lamp is a promising technology that features good efficiency and long life.
BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 specifies requirements for fluorescent induction lamp controlgear. It specifies particular safety requirements of DC and/or AC supplied electronic controlgear for emergency lighting purposes intended for connection to a centralized emergency power supply, such as a central battery supply system.
BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 provides guidance regarding the necessary light output after the change over to the emergency mode. This is verified if the declared emergency ballast lumen factor (EBLF) is achieved during emergency operation at 25 °C. By using BS EN IEC 61347‑2‑14 you can ensure the safety requirements of DC and/or AC supplied electronic controlgear for fluorescent induction lamps.
