GB-T 15144 Tubular Fluorescent Lamps - Test for AC Powered Electronic Ballasts

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GB-T 15144 test. GB/T 15144 is a standard that specifies performance requirements for AC powered electronic ballasts used for tubular fluorescent lamps. Electronic ballast is a device that regulates the current and voltage supplied to the lamp and is used to increase the efficiency and life of fluorescent lighting systems.

The standard applies to electronic ballasts designed for use with tubular fluorescent lamps with wattage ranging from 4W to 80W. The ballasts covered by the standard are designed for use in both residential and commercial environments.

The standard specifies requirements for various performance parameters, including:

• Electrical performance: This includes requirements for rated power, input voltage range, power factor and total harmonic distortion.
• Photometric performance: This includes requirements for lamp luminous flux, lamp efficacy, color rendering index (CRI), and lamp start-up time.
• Mechanical performance: This includes requirements for ballast dimensions, weight and temperature rise.
• Safety performance: This includes electrical safety requirements such as insulation resistance, dielectric strength and leakage current.
• Environmental performance: This includes requirements for resistance to moisture, heat and vibration.

Compliance with the GB/T 15144 standard is typically demonstrated by tests conducted in a laboratory where electronic ballasts are tested under a variety of conditions to ensure they meet specified performance requirements. Ballasts are considered compatible and suitable for use with tubular fluorescent lamps if they meet all the requirements of the standard.
