National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of
EN 61347-2-5:2001. It is identical with IEC 61347-2-5:2000. Together with
BS EN 61347-1, -2-4, -2-6, and -2-7:2001 it supersedes Section Four of
BS EN 60924:1991 + A1:1994 which will be withdrawn on 1 November 2003.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
CPL/34, Lamps and related equipment, to Subcommittee CPL/34/3, Auxiliaries
for lamps, which has the responsibility to:
— aid enquirers to understand the text;
— present to the responsible international/European committee any
enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the
UK interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and
promulgate them in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
From 1 January 1997, all IEC publications have the number 60000 added to
the old number. For instance, IEC 27-1 has been renumbered as IEC 60027-1.
For a period of time during the change over from one numbering system to the
other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems.
Cross-references
Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally
include an annex which lists normative references to international
publications with their corresponding European publications. The British
Standards which implement these international or European publications may
be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled
“International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the “Find”
facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of
a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct
application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

INTRODUCTION

This first edition of IEC 61347-2-5, published in conjunction with IEC 61347-1, represents an
editorial review of section four of IEC 60924. The formatting into separately published parts
provides for ease of future amendments and revisions. Additional requirements will be added
as and when a need for them is recognized.

This standard, and the parts which make up IEC 61347-2, in referring to any of the clauses of
IEC 61347-1, specify the extent to which such a clause is applicable and the order in which
the tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements, as necessary. All
parts which make up IEC 61347-2 are self-contained and, therefore, do not include references
to each other.

Where the requirements of any of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard
by the phrase "The requirements of clause n of IEC 61347-1 apply", this phrase is interpreted
Licensed Copy: HKPOLYU Library, HK Polytechnic Univ, 10 March 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of part 1 apply, except any which
are clearly inapplicable to the specific type of lamp controlgear covered by this particular part
of IEC 61347-2.

LAMP CONTROLGEAR –

Part 2-5: Particular requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts

for public transport lighting

1 Scope

This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for d.c. supplied electronic
ballasts intended for operation from power sources likely to have attendant transients and
surges, for example, for road and railway vehicles, tramcars, and craft used for public
transport.

Performance requirements are the subject of IEC 60925.

14 Pulse voltages

The ballast shall withstand without failure any pulses originating from the power source.

Compliance is checked by the following test, which is subdivided into two sections a) and b),
both of which are applicable.

a) Long-duration pulse voltages which, in general, are not likely to be significantly attenuated
by conventional inductor/capacitor input filters.
When operating at the maximum voltage of the rated voltage range, in association with the
appropriate number of lamps and in an ambient temperature of 25 °C, the ballast shall
withstand, without failure, the number of pulse voltages specified in table 1 superimposed,
with the same polarity, on the supply voltage.

NOTE 2 A circuit suitable for producing and applying long-duration pulses is shown in figure G.2
of IEC 61347-1.

b) Short-duration pulse voltages which, in general, are likely to be attenuated by

conventional inductor/capacitor input filters.
When operating at the maximum voltage of the rated voltage range in association with the
appropriate number of lamps and in an ambient temperature of 25 °C, the ballast shall
withstand, without failure, the number of pulse voltages specified in table 2 superimposed,
with the same polarity, on the supply voltage.

15 Abnormal conditions

The ballast shall not impair safety when operated under abnormal conditions at the maximum
value of the rated voltage range.

Abnormal conditions are working conditions in which one or more of the following apply:

a) the lamp or one of the lamps is not inserted;

b) the lamp does not start because one of the cathodes is broken;
c) the lamp does not start although the cathode circuits are intact (deactivated lamp);
d) the lamp operates but one of the cathodes is deactivated or broken (rectifying effect).

Compliance is checked by the following test.

Each of the abnormal conditions specified above shall be applied with the ballast operating
Licensed Copy: HKPOLYU Library, HK Polytechnic Univ, 10 March 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

according to the manufacturer's instructions (including heatsinks, if specified) for 1 h at the

maximum limit of the temperature range for which the ballast is designed.

For the test simulating operation with a de-activated lamp, a resistor shall be connected in
place of each lamp cathode. The resistor value shall be derived from the value of the nominal
running current of the lamp prescribed in the relevant lamp data sheet of IEC 60081 and
IEC 60901 and substituted in the following equation:

11,0
R= W
2,1´ I n
where
ln is the nominal running current of the lamp.

For lamps not covered by IEC 60081 and IEC 60901, the values declared by the lamp
manufacturer shall be used.

When testing d.c. supplied electronic ballasts for the rectifying effect, the circuit shown in
figure 2 shall be used. The lamp shall be connected to the midpoints of the appropriate
equivalent resistors. The rectifier polarity shall be chosen so as to give the most unfavourable
operating conditions. If necessary, the lamp shall be started using a suitable starting device.

e) polarity reversal

When a ballast is declared to be proof against supply voltage polarity reversal, it shall be
tested as follows.

– Ballasts intended for operation from power sources likely to have attendant transients and
surges shall be operated with reverse voltage for 1 h, at the maximum voltage of the rated
voltage range with appropriate lamp(s).
– During this period, the ballast shall withstand without failure the number of pulse voltages
specified in table 2 superimposed with the same polarity on the supply voltage.
– During and at the end of the tests specified under items a) to e), the ballast shall show no
defect impairing safety.
