IEC 61347-2-6:2000

This standard specifies general and safety requirements for electronic ballasts for use on d.c. supplies, having rated voltages not exceeding 250 V, associated with fluorescent lamps complying with IEC 81. This standard also specifies electronic ballasts for lamps which are not yet standardized. lt does not specify independent ballasts. Supersedes IEC 60458.

IEC 61347-2-3:2011 specifies particular safety requirements for electronic control gear for use on a.c. and d.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency, associated with fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 60081 and IEC 60901, and other fluorescent lamps for high-frequency operation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000, its Amendment 1 (2004) and its Amendment 2 (2006), IEC 61347-2-4 published in 2000, IEC 61347-2-5 published in 2000 and IEC 61347-2-6 published in 2000. This second edition constitutes a technical revision. The significant revisions with respect to the first edition are: - rectifying test conditions when dimming; - construction requirements; - measurement circuits and limits for HF leakage currents; - modification of the structure to become a standard exclusively for a.c. and d.c. central supplied electronic control gear for general lighting and Annex J cover centrally- supplied emergency control gear. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61347-1:2007. The contents of the corrigendum of September 2011 have been included in this copy.
