New LED driver standard IEC 61347-2-13
From the 1st July 2009 all LED drivers need to adhere to the IEC 61347-2-13 safety standard which specifies particular safety requirements for electronic control gear for use on d.c. supplies up to 250 V and a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and at an output frequency which can deviate from the supply frequency, associated with LED modules.
There are many improved requirements that this new standards brings to LED drivers however the most noticeable one will be the change required in the output connectors that connect the driver to the LED fixture. The majority of LED drivers use the RJ45 connector originally designed as network card connector in PC’s and these will need to be changed to double insulated type connectors if the maximum output voltage for a constant current driver is greater than 25Vdc.
IEC 61347 consists of the following parts, under the general title Lamp controlgear:
