IEC 63129:2020 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.
