Automatic electrical controls for household and similar use - Part 2-3: Particular requirements for thermal protectors for ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps
Abstract
This document applies to thermal protectors that are integrated or incorporated in ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps and used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used in shops, offices, hospitals, farms and commercial and industrial applications. The thermal protectors are AC or DC controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC or 600 V DC. Thermal protectors are using NTC or PTC thermistors and to discrete thermistors, requirements for which are contained in Annex J and are electromechanical or electronic in design and responsive to or controlling such characteristics as temperature. This document applies to the inherent safety of thermal protectors for ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps, and functional safety of thermal protectors used to protect ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps from overheating and for ballasts within the scope of IEC 61347-2-8.
