CSA C22.2 No. 61347-2-9:24

1 Scope This Standard specifies particular safety requirements for electromagnetic controlgear for discharge lamps such as high-pressure mercury vapour, low-pressure sodium vapour, high-pressure sodium vapour and metal halide lamps. The Standard covers inductive-type electromagnetic controlgear designed to be installed on branch circuits not exceeding 600 V nominal between conductors, in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. These electromagnetic controlgear are associated with discharge lamps having rated wattage, dimensions, and characteristics as specified in IEC 60188 and ANSI C78.40, IEC 60192 and ANSI C78.41, and IEC 60662 and ANSI C78.42. This standard applies to complete electromagnetic controlgear and to their component parts such as reactors, transformers and capacitors. Particular requirements for thermally protected electromagnetic controlgear are given in Annex B. For certain types of discharge lamps, an ignitor is required. NOTE Electromagnetic controlgear for fluorescent lamps are covered by IEC 61347-2-8. Performance requirements are the subject of IEC 60923 and ANSI C82.4.
