IEC EN 61347-2-9 Electromagnetic Control Test for Discharge Lamps of Lamp Controller

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61347-2-9 testing. IEC 61347-2-9 specifies special safety requirements for electromagnetic control gear for discharge lamps such as high pressure mercury vapor, low pressure sodium vapor, high pressure sodium vapor and metal halide lamps.

This particular standard, IEC 61347-2-9, specifies requirements for ballasts used with discharge lamps including high-intensity discharge lamps and low-pressure sodium lamps, among others.

The standard covers a range of topics, including requirements for performance, safety, and test procedures.

Some of the special requirements specified in the standard are:

• Electromagnetic control gear must be designed and constructed in such a way as to provide adequate protection against electric shock.
• The electromagnetic control device must be able to adjust the output voltage and current to the lamp within the specified limits.
• The electromagnetic control device must be able to operate within a range of input voltages and frequencies.
• Electromagnetic control equipment must be tested for compliance with the standard, including performance and safety tests.

IEC 61347-2-9 is an important standard for manufacturers of electromagnetic control equipment for discharge lamps and those involved in the design, installation and maintenance of lighting systems using these lamps.
