  IP 3XX Against foreign bodies ≥ 2.5 mm
  IP 4XX Against foreign bodies ≥ 1 mm
IP 5XX Against harmful dust deposits
IP 6XX Against dust entry

 

Water protection - 2nd IP digit

Test Mark Protection Type Protection
IP X1X Against drops of water falling vertically
IP X2X Against drops of water from angles up to 15°
IP X3X Against showers up to 60°
IP X4X Against splash water
IP X5X Against heavy downpours
IP X6X Against water jets
IP X7X Against immersion
IP X8X Against submersion

 

Mechanical impact protection - 3rd IP digit

Test Mark Protection Type Protection
IP XX1 Impact 0,225 joule
IP XX2 Impact 0,375 joule
IP XX3 Impact 0,500 joule
IP XX5 Impact 2,00 joules
IP XX7 Impact 6,00 joules
IP XX9 Impact 20,00 joules

 

 

Safety Symbols

17

The ENEC symbol (European Norm Electrical Certification) is a European test and certification symbol for luminaires and electrical components in luminaires. The number 17 signifies that the test/certification symbol was awarded by the Nemko Institute for Testing and Certification in Norway.

 

Luminaires with the F mark can be fixed to normal flame-inhibiting materials (EN60598/VDE0711).

The performance specification of the electrical circuits and fusing guide represents typical values obtained in accordance with accepted test methods and are subject to normal manufacturing variations of lamps, control gear and luminaires. They are issued as a technical service guide, but are subject to change without prior notice.

Fusing Guide

Circuit Protection for Multiple Luminaire Circuits

Within the electrical characteristics table shown on page 19.2, standard individual fuse values are quoted against each lamp type. These can be used when looking to fuse individual luminaires, however we cannot recommend fuse sizes for multiple luminaires due to the individual nature of each installation.

We have no control over many variables. Therefore we would recommend that all installations are planned and installed with reference to the IEE wiring regulations (17th edition) which take effect from 1st July 2008. Using section 533 which deals with fusing, and section 559 which deals with lighting and luminaires, and any other sections of the regulations which are relevant to the installation.

Our only recommendation can be to use a type ‘C’ or better MCB, which will prevent nuisance tripping due to inrush currents.

When calculating fuse ratings please keep in mind the following points;

  • High inrush current at initial switch on (as much as 25 times that of normal running
    current - although only for a few milliseconds)
  • Running up currents
  • Hot re-strike conditions
  • Lamp rectifying during stabilisation and with aged lamps
  • Peaks in supply voltage. In order to compensate for these high currents it is
    recommended to rate the protection device larger than those stated for normal
    running conditions.
