Electrical installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes - AGL series transformers

IEC 61823:2002 specifies the characteristics of aeronautical ground lighting series trans-formers (AGLST) used in aeronautical ground lighting for 6,6 A series circuits, at a service voltage of up to 5 kV, supplied by constant current regulators up to 30 kVA in rating. AGL series transformers provide power to airport lighting luminaires or other loads (resistive) from their secondary circuits. The AGL series transformers provide continuity of the series circuit in the event of a loss of the load on the transformer, and electrical isolation between the primary circuit supplied by a constant current regulator, and the secondary circuit connected to the load under conditions defined in this standard. This bilingual version (2016-11) corresponds to the English version, published in 2002-12.

Installations électriques pour l'éclairage et le balisage des aérodromes - Transformateurs série utilisés pour l'éclairage et le balisage aéronautique au sol

L'IEC 61823:2002 spécifie les caractéristiques des transformateurs série utilisés pour le balisage aéronautique au sol (AGLST) pour des circuits série de 6,6 A, dont la tension de service atteint 5 kV, alimentés par des régulateurs de courant constant jusqu'à 30 kVA. Les transformateurs série AGL assurent l'alimentation des feux aéronautiques de balisage ou d'autres charges (résistives) à partir de leurs circuits secondaires. Les transformateurs série AGL assurent la continuité du circuit série en cas de perte de charge sur le transformateur, et l'isolation électrique entre le circuit primaire alimenté par un régulateur de courant constant et le circuit secondaire connecté à la charge dans des conditions définies dans la présente Norme. La présente version bilingue (2016-11) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2002-12.

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61823 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 97:
Electrical installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
97/94/FDIS 97/95/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged
until 2006. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

AGL SERIES TRANSFORMERS
1 Scope
This standard specifies the characteristics of aeronautical ground lighting series transformers
(AGLST) used in aeronautical ground lighting for 6,6 A series circuits, at a service voltage of
up to 5 kV, supplied by constant current regulators up to 30 kVA in rating.
AGL series transformers provide power to airport lighting luminaires or other loads (resistive)
from their secondary circuits. The AGL series transformers provide continuity of the series
circuit in the event of a loss of the load on the transformer, and electrical isolation between
the primary circuit supplied by a constant current regulator, and the secondary circuit
connected to the load under conditions defined in this standard.
An AGL series transformer is be able to withstand a permanent short or open-circuit
secondary series circuit.
Specifications for similar series transformers intended for any primary or secondary currents
other than 6,6 A, or to supply alternative voltages, constant power, reactive loads, etc., are
not included in this standard.
