CEI EN IEC 63129 PDF

This document describes a method, based on measurements combined with calculations, to determine specific characteristics of the inrush current of single and/or multiple lighting products of the same type. Lighting products include the following:

• light sources with integrated controlgear,

• controlgear,

• luminaires.

The inrush current characteristics that are determined are

• the peak inrush current,

• the inrush current pulse duration.

This document applies to lighting products connected to low-voltage 230 V AC 50/60 Hz electrical supply networks.

NOTE In Clause 6 it is stated that the methodology applies reference values for the reference (line) inductance and the reference (short circuit) peak current which reflect the typical situation in a 230 V AC installation.
