IEC EN 61347-2-1 Test for Starting Devices of Lamp Controllers

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61347-2-1 test. Specifies special safety requirements for starting devices (starters other than glow starters and ignitors) for fluorescent and other discharge lamps used in ac supplies up to 50 V at 1°C.

It is part of the IEC 61347 series of standards covering various aspects of control gear for lamps, including performance, safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

This particular standard, IEC 61347-2-1, specifies requirements for starting devices used with fluorescent lamps, excluding incandescent starters. The standard covers a range of topics, including insulation requirements, electrical shock protection, and test procedures.

Some of the special requirements specified in the standard are:

• Starting devices must be designed and constructed to provide adequate protection against electric shock.
• Operating devices must be marked with relevant information such as rated voltage and current.
• The starting devices must be able to operate fluorescent lamps under a range of operating conditions, such as temperature and voltage variations.
• Operating devices must be tested for compliance with the standard, including performance and safety tests.

Compliance with this standard can help ensure the safe and reliable operation of these systems.
