IEC 61822:2009
Electrical installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes - Constant current regulators
IEC 61822:2009 specifies the requirements for a Constant Current Regulator (CCR) having a nominal output of 6,6 A for use in an aeronautical ground lighting constant current series circuit. However, CCRs may be manufactured which have a different power rating (kVA) and current steps than those specified in this standard in order to be used on existing circuits. This standard should be applied where appropriate for these CCRs. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002. It is a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) revision and update of terms and definitions;b) addition of new paragraphs, such as "Nominal output current range and tolerances";c) modification of some paragraphs, such as those related to "Local control" and "Remote control";d) deletion of some paragraphs, in particular "Power transformers" and "Output current indicator".

IEC 61820-3-2:2023 specifies the requirements for power electronic converter systems (PECS) dedicated to powering aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) circuits with series circuit topology. An example of a traditional implementation is an AGL circuit with 6,6 A RMS nominal current, powered by a constant current regulator (CCR). In addition to revising the requirements for 6,6 A CCR setups, this document introduces requirements for general PECS for new AGL systems including systems specifically designed for LED based luminaires. This first edition cancels and replaces IEC 61822 published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61822:2009: a) introduction of power electronic converter systems (PECS) to be used in the aeronautical ground lighting systems other than the 6,6 A aeronautical ground lighting systems; b) introduction of classification for different device types; c) introduction of IEC 62477-1:2022 and IEC 62477-2:2018 as the basis for safety related requirements.
