Lamp controlgear - Part 1: General and safety requirements
IEC 61347-1:2015 is available as IEC 61347-1:2015 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 61347-1:2015 specifies general and safety requirements for lamp controlgear for use on d.c. supplies up to 250 V and/or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007, Amendment 1:2010 and Amendment 2:2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) additional marking requirements;
b) additional requirements for creepage distances and clearances:
- for working voltages with operating frequencies up to 30 kHz;
- for working voltages with higher operating frequencies than 30 kHz;
- for impulse and resonance voltages ignition;
- for basic, supplementary and reinforced insulation;
- for insulation between circuits;
- for coated or potted controlgear;
c) modification of definition of ELV and FELV;
d) modification of schematic drawing, showing the different controlgear classification and insulation requirements;
e) scope extension;
f) new Annex A: test to establish whether a conductive part is a live part which may cause an electric shock;
g) new Annex M: creepage distances and clearances for controlgear where a higher degree of availability (impulse withstand category III) may be requested;
h) new Annex Q: example for Up calculation;
i) new Annex P: creepage distances and clearances and distance through isolation (DTI) for lamp controlgear which are protected against pollution by the use of coating or potting;
j) new Annex R: concept of creepage distances and clearances.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with theIEC 61347-2 series
Appareillages de lampes - Partie 1: Exigences générales et exigences de sécurité
IEC 61347-1:2015 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61347-1:2015 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
IEC 61347-1:2015 spécifie les exigences générales et les exigences de sécurité pour les appareillages de lampes destinés à être utilisés sur des alimentations à courant continu jusqu'à 250 V et/ou sur des alimentations à courant alternatif jusqu'à 1 000 V à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2007, l'Amendement 1:2010 et l'Amendement 2:2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) les exigences de marquage supplémentaires;
b) des exigences supplémentaires pour les lignes de fuite et écartements:
- pour des tensions de service avec des fréquences de fonctionnement jusqu'à 30 kHz;
- pour des tensions de service avec des fréquences de fonctionnement supérieures à 30 kHz;
- pour impulsion et la résonance des tensions d'allumage;
- pour l'isolation de base, supplémentaire et renforcée;
- pour l'isolation entre les circuits;
- pour l'appareillage enduit ou en pot;
c) modification de la définition d'ELV et de FELV;
d) la modification du schéma, montrant les différentes exigences en matière de classification et d'isolation appareillage;
e) extension de l'objet;
f) la nouvelle Annexe A: essai pour déterminer si une partie conductrice est une partie active qui peut provoquer un choc électrique;
g) la nouvelle Annexe M: les lignes de fuite et écartements pour l'appareillage où un plus haut degré de disponibilité (tenue aux chocs de catégorie III) peut être demandée;
h) la nouvelle Annexe Q: exemple de calcul Up;
i) la nouvelle Annexe P: les distances des lignes de fuite l'écartement et la distance à travers l'isolation (DTI) pour les appareillages de lampes qui sont protégés contre la pollution par l'utilisation d'un revêtement ou d'enrobage;
j) la nouvelle Annexe R: concept de lignes de fuite et écartements.
Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la série CEI 61347-2.
