Abstract

Defines particular safety requirements for electronic ballasts that are: a) designed to be installed on branch circuits not exceeding 600 V nominal between conductors and used in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency; and b) associated with fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 60081 and IEC 60901 or ANSI C78.81 and ANSI C78.901 and other fluorescent lamps for high-frequency operation.
