and covers
electronic ballast
An electrical ballast is a device placed in series with a load to limit the amount of current in an electrical circuit.
A familiar and widely used example is the inductive ballast used in fluorescent lamps to limit the current through the tu ...
s used in
AC supplies with voltages up to 1000 V and with operating frequencies at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The actual operating frequency may deviate from the specified supply frequency.
The standard essentially covers the same material as
IEC 60921, but it is considerably more complex due to the high frequency aspect of electronic ballasts. Appendix E of the standard defines the
DALI, which specifies how ballasts are controlled.
