ANSI C82.1:2004 (S2020) PDF Download

The ANSI C82.1-2004 standard is titled "American National Standard for Lamp Ballasts - Line Frequency Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts." It primarily focuses on ballasts that have rated open circuit voltages of 2000 V or less and are designed to operate lamps at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

The standard defines the requirements and specifications for these ballasts, ensuring their safety and performance. It establishes guidelines for various aspects, including electrical characteristics, environmental conditions, and mechanical design. This ensures that the ballasts comply with the necessary standards and can be used reliably with fluorescent lamps.

By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can produce ballasts that meet the required performance and safety standards, providing a consistent and compatible solution for electrical systems that utilize line frequency fluorescent lamps. This standard serves as a reference for design, testing, and evaluation purposes, guiding manufacturers, engineers, and technicians in developing and maintaining high-quality ballasts for fluorescent lighting systems.
