Annex E
(informative)
Information for ballast and starter design
E.1 General
In order to safeguard proper functioning of the lamp, the relevant information, given on the
lamp data sheet and in Annex E, should be taken into account when designing ballasts and
starters.
E.2 Prestarting conditions for high frequency operated lamps
For lamps operated on high frequency and having preheated cathodes, the requirements for
proper preheating are specified on the relevant lamp data sheet. An explanation of these
requirements is given in Annex D of IEC 60929 and in Annex B of IEC 60927.
For some lamps, additional information concerning high frequency non-preheat starting
requirements is given on the relevant lamp data sheet.
E.3 Frequency to be used for high frequency operated lamps
For lamps designed for operation on high frequency, the lamp data sheets specify a frequency
range for the reference ballast and for the testing of lamps (starting, electrical and
photometric characteristics). This frequency range has been chosen for ease of reproducing
test results and is not intended to restrict the design of high frequency ballasts, where for
practical reasons a higher frequency may be appropriate.
E.4 Tolerable DC-offset during preheat
The peak-peak value of the open-circuit voltage shall be less than or equal to 2,8 times the
maximum r.m.s value of the open-circuit voltage for t ≤ t . Narrow voltage peaks during the
s
first half period of the mains voltage after switching on preheat shall be disregarded when
testing the control gear in accordance with Clause E.4.
The DC-offset (mean value) of the open-circuit voltage shall not exceed the r.m.s. open circuit
voltage for t ≤ t as specified on the relevant lamp data sheet. In cases where the r.m.s. open
s
circuit voltage for t ≤ t is specified to less than 200 V, the DC-offset of the open-circuit
s
voltage shall be less than or equal to 200 V.
E.5 Tolerances on substitution resistors
E.5.1 Lamp electrode substitution resistors
The tolerance for the resistance values of electrode substitution resistors shall be ±1 % of the
resistance value or better.
Non-inductive resistors are recommended as substitution resistors.
E.5.2 Lamp impedance substitution resistors
The tolerance for the resistance values of the substitution resistors for the lamp discharge
impedance shall be ±5 % of the resistance value or better.

IEC 60081:1997/AMD6 – 5 –
© IEC 2017
Non-inductive resistors are recommended as substitution resistors.
E.6 Maximum asymmetric power
Lamp caps may overheat at the end of the lamp life cycle. Limiting the power available to the
electrodes at the end of the life cycle is considered as a way for the controlgear to mitigate
this risk. The maximum control gear asymmetric power available to the electrodes should be
equal or less than the power listed in Table E.1.
