1 Scope
This part of IEC 61347
specifies safety requirements for electronic controlgear for use on AC supplies at
50 Hz or 60 Hz up to 1 000 V or DC supplies up to 1 000 V. The type of controlgear
is a convertor that can contain igniting and stabilizing elements for operation of
a discharge lamp under direct current or at a frequency that can deviate from the
supply frequency.
NOTE Lamps associated with this type of controlgear are specified in IEC 60188 (High pressure mercury vapour lamps), IEC 60192 (Low pressure sodium vapour lamps), IEC 60662 (High pressure sodium vapour lamps), IEC 61167 (Metal halide lamps) and else for general purpose lighting.
Controlgear for fluorescent lamps and for lamps for special applications such as theatre
and vehicles are excluded.
