3、rent adjustment for Type A lamp power sourcesDECISION:SC4.1.2 When a test requires the device to be energized from its intended supply source, it shall beenergized from both the 60 Hz (line frequency) and 25 kHz HF (high frequency) reference ballasts in turn.The reference ballasts shall comply with

4、NEMA C82.3 and be used as the supply sources for the LEDlamp tests in this supplement, as follows:a) The reference ballast shall be initially adjusted for the voltage, current, and powercharacteristics of the target lamp in accordance with NEMA C82.3. For double-endedfluorescent lamps, these charact

5、eristics can be found in NEMA C78.81. For single-endedlamps, these characteristics can be found in NEMA C78.901.b) Once With the LED lamp is connected and energized from the reference ballast, the inputcurrent to the LED lamp and the voltage across the LED lamp are monitored. The referenceballast re

12、IONALE FOR DECISION:This decision expands prior options for the procedure for adjusting the HF power source for Type A lampsto account for lamps that are not designed to operate at the full operating voltage of their target lamps.As written, the resistance of the HF reference ballast or the current

13、control of the HF power source isadjusted until the LED lamps under test draw the operating current of the target lamps published in thecorresponding ANSI/NEMA fluorescent lamp datasheets. However, there are LED lamps that haverelatively high internal impedance and are simply not designed to operate

14、 at the target lamp operatingcurrent. With such designs, in order to reach this desired current level, the voltage across the LED lampsmay need to reach several hundred volts, exceeding the voltage ratings of the lamps internal componentsand permanently damaging these lamps beyond use.The use of a 5

15、0 kHz power source is intended to reduce the internal impedance of the lamp to allowoperation at the intended operating current point using less voltage than would be needed at 25 kHz. Inaddition, the power source adjustment stops once you either reach the target lamp operating current orthe voltage

16、 across the lamp reaches the open circuit voltage (OCV) of the reference ballast. This will allowfor the testing of Type A lamps at their worst-case thermal operating point without subjecting them toabnormally high voltages that are unlikely during commercial ballast operation.The revision to SC4.1.
