IEC 63129:2020+AMD1:2025 CSV 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.
