Isolation and electric strength testing of luminaires

Electronic devices can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be considered during the routine testing of the luminaires in production.

 

According to IEC 60598-1 Annex Q (informative only!) or ENEC 303-Annex A, each luminaire should be submitted to an isolation test with 500 VDC for 1 sec- ond. This test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase and neutral terminals and the earth terminal. The isolation resistance must be at least 2 MΩ.

 

As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical strength with 1,500 VAC (or 1,414 x 1,500 VDC). To avoid damage to the elec- tronic devices this test must not be conducted.

 

Basic insulation between supply and battery circuit

 

Restarting after lamp replacement

Note: Before servicing luminaires the mains supply should always be discon- nected.

 

If faulty lamps are changed with the mains connected they can be made to restart automatically provided an interval of 2 seconds is left after removal.

• Single lamp combined units always restart
• Twin lamp combined units that do not restart automatically will do so if the first lamp that was inserted is removed and re-inserted.

Storage, installation and commissioning

Relevant information about storage conditions, installation and commissioning are provided in the battery datasheets.

Care should be taken to ensure batteries and emergency units don’t exceed their maximum temperatures.

 

Intelligent Voltage Guard

Intelligent Voltage Guard is the name of the new electronic monitor from Tridonic. This innovative feature of the new PC COMBO family of combined electronic ballasts and emergency lighting modules from Tridonic immedi- ately shows if the mains voltage rises above a certain threshold.

Measures can then be taken quickly to prevent damage to the control gear. If the mains voltage rises above 306 V the lamps start flashing on and off. This signal “demands” disconnection of the power supply to the lighting system.

 

New PC COMBO with xitec processor

Is the very latest in lighting management design technology. The lamp friendly warm start is delivering maximum lamp life and enables high switch- ing frequency applications. Smallest power loss and new freedom in the lamp design thanks to convincing thermal management.

 

Energy class CELMA EEI = A2

PC T5 COMBO lp ignition technology (smart heating) optimises lamp start and ensures no energy is wasted. After the lamp has struck the filament heating is reduced automatically to a defined minimum value. This reduction in filament heating, saves energy, yet maintains the proper operating condi- tions for the lamp. The lamp is always operated within specification.

 

Smart Heating (normal operation)

Innovative heating circuit. Reduced filament heating after lamp has struck.

Life-time

PC T5 COMBO lp is designed for an average life-time of 50,000 hours under reference conditions and with a failure probability of less than 10 %.

This corresponds to an average failure rate of 0.2 % for every 1,000 hours of operation.

 

CE marking

The PC T5 COMBO lp units are CE marked for compliance with the low volt- age directive.

Certificates of compliance are available to allow luminaires to be CE marked for compliance with the EMC directive.

tc

 

The nominal ta and tc point are related to the ballast life duration. The rela- tion of tc to ta temperature depends also on the luminaire design. If the measured tc temperature is approx. 5 K below tc max., ta temperature should be checked and eventually critical components (e.g. ELCAP) measured.

Jumper selection:

3 hours operation as supplied for use with 4 Ah NiCd D or 4 Ah NiMH Cs cells.

Remove the jumper for 1 hour operation and use with Cs 1.5 Ah NiCd or

2.0 Ah NiMh cells.

Electrical connections

In low temperature applications an starting aid is required for the emergency lamp which is referenced to the metal case of the unit. This starting aid does not need to be earthed.

 

The combined unit is intended to be earthed by the q marked terminal con- nection.

Two phases can be used as switched and unswitched line. Note:

All electrical connections to the unit must be made when both permanent

and switched mains supplies are disconnected

 

 

Batteries

Connection method: 4.8 x 0.5 mm spade welded to end of cell

 

For the stick batteries this connection is accessible after the battery end caps have been fitted.

 

To inhibit inverter operation, only disconnect the batteries by removing the connector from the battery spade tags.

 

Note:

The battery charger of the PC T5 Combo lp is short circuit protected. After a battery short circuit the protection device will be resetted after a short while.

 

Battery must not be connected to earth.

 

Storage

It is recommended to disconnect the battery before store or delivery. A long term storage in open circuit leads to battery self discharge and deactivation of chemical components. It could be required to charge and discharge the batteries a few times to recover the initial performance.

RFI

Tridonic ballasts are RFI protected in accordance with EN 55015.

To operate the luminaire correctly and to minimise RFI we recommend the following instructions:

• Connection to the lamps of the “hot leads” must be kept as short as pos- sible (marked with *)
• Mains leads should be kept apart from lamp leads (ideally 5–10 cm dis- tance)
• Do not run mains leads adjacent to the electronic ballast
• Twist the lamp leads
• Keep the distance of lamp leads from the metal work as large as possible
• Ballast should be earthed, over the
• Mains wiring to be twisted when through wiring
• Keep the mains leads inside the luminaire as short as possible

 

Wiring advice

The lead length is dependant on the capacitance of the cable.

For safety reasons, the PC T5 COMBO lp must only be earthed in the case of a safety class 1 luminaire. Earthing is not required for the device to operate. Connection to earth reduces radio interference

 

 

Ballast	Terminal		Maximum lead capacitance allowed
Type	Cold	Hot	Cold	Hot
PC 1xx T5 COMBO lp	3, 4	1, 2	200 pF	100 pF
PC 2xx T5 COMBO lp	3, 4, 5, 6	1, 2, 7, 8	200 pF	100 pF
PC 2/35 T5 COMBO lp	3, 4, 5, 6	1, 2, 7, 8	100 pF	50 pF
PC 2/49 T5 COMBO lp	3, 4, 5, 6	1, 2, 7, 8	100 pF	50 pF

With standard solid wire 0.5/0.75 mm² the capaci- tance of the lead is 30–80 pF/m. This value is influenced by the way the wiring is made.

• keep lamp wires short
• lamp connection with multi-lamp ballasts should be made with symmetrical wiring
• for 1 and 2 lamp ballasts: hot leads 1,2,7,8 and cold leads 3,4,5,6 should be separated as much as possible
• The LED, test switch and battery wiring should be routed separately and kept as far away as possible from the high frequency lamp leads to avoid
• To avoid the damage of the control gear, the wiring must be protected against short circuits to earth (sharp edged metal parts, metal cable clips, louver, )

IDC interface

• Solid wire with a cross section of 5 mm² according to the specification from WAGO
• Alternatively a flexible lead with a cross section of 75 mm²

 

Horizontal interface

• Solid wire with a cross section of 5–0.75 mm² according to the specification from WAGO
• Solid wire with a cross section of 0 mm² with an insulation diameter up to 2.5 mm
• Strip 9 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of the terminals
• Loosen wire through twisting and pulling
