The Constant Current Regulator (CCR) is designed to provide precision control of runway lightning circuits. BS EN 61822 is an International Standard that discusses electrical installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes.
BS EN 61822 specifies the requirements for a 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 BS EN 61822 in order to be used on existing circuits. BS EN 61822 should be applied where appropriate for these CCRs.
BS EN 61822 on CCR for the AGL series circuit requirements is useful for:
BS EN 61822 walks you through details for CCRs such as classification, requirements, qualification, test requirements, and test procedures. Aspects such as environment, performance, EMC, design, electric shock protection, and optional accessories have also been addressed in BS EN 61822.
BS EN 61822 helps you to follow best practices when setting up electrical facilities and CCRs for ground lighting at your aerodrome facilities.
BS EN 61822 assists you in defining the essential principles for providing safe, dependable, and efficient operation of AGL systems that contribute to minimizing aviation risks.
