IEC EN 61347-2-5 Ballast Test for Public Transport Lighting 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 61347-2-5 testing. Standard that specifies special safety requirements for DC-supplied electronic ballasts intended to be operated from power sources likely to have transient currents and fluctuations, such as road and rail vehicles, trams, and ships used for public transport.

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 61347-2-5, specifies requirements for electronic ballasts used with lamps in public transport lighting systems where a dc power source is used.

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:

• Electronic ballasts must be designed and manufactured to provide adequate protection against electric shock.
• Electronic ballasts should be able to regulate the output voltage and current going to the lamp within certain limits.
• Electronic ballasts must be able to operate within an input voltage and frequency range.
• eElectronic ballasts must be tested for compliance with the standard, including performance and safety tests.

Compliance with this standard can help the safe and reliable operation of these systems, which are critical to the safety and comfort of passengers and drivers in public transport.
