General characteristics
LED means Light Emitting Diode.
A LED is a diode type semiconductor which emits visible electromagnetic radiation
when a current passes through it.
The entity formed by the LED, its substrate and a primary optical unit is called the
LED component. This LED component provides protection for the semiconductor
and dissipates the heat generated.

(1) In the particular case of three-phase circuits supplying discharge lamps with electronic ballasts, harmonic currents of the third order and multiples of three are
generated and combined in the neutral conductor. The neutral cable must be sized to prevent it from overheating. However, the current flowing through the neutral cable
may become greater than the current of each phase and cause nuisance tripping.
(2) In the case of installations with very long cables in a TN or IT system, it may be necessary to add differential protection to protect human life. In all cases, the choice
of curve must be confirmed by a design note.

Depending on the control device used, the transient current peak may:
bb require derating of the circuit breaker according to the coordination curves between
the number of luminaires and the circuit breaker rating, when using conventional control
devices: CT, TL (electromechanical control device),
bb be reduced by using the following technologies:
vv softStart: implemented by a control integrated in the driver or by variable speed
controller,
vv controlled-action control contactor (iTL+, iCT+) (closing on zero crossing by the
voltage, only derating is linked to the lighting circuit's power factor.
These technologies make it possible to use the circuit breakers without derating due to
the lamp technology.
Example:
Circuit rated power = 230 V AC x circuit breaker rating x power factor.

Note:
High-pressure sodium vapor lamps
For the 10 A and 16 A B-curve ratings, the number of lamps should be reduced by 10% to limit
unwanted magnetic tripping.

Exterior lighting
Given the widespread use of electronics in luminaires, it
is recommended to establish a type 3 fine protection
system at the level of each luminaire.
From the main characteristics of the installation (lighting power, distance from
electrical switchboard), these tables can be used to determine:
bb the cross-section of the conductors on the power supply line for a voltage drop less
than 3% at the lamps, whatever the installation method and insulating material used
for the conductors,
bb the circuit breaker rating for protection and continuity of service with a safety
margin, whatever the type of lamps.
Example of a warehouse
Characteristics of the installation
bb 39 x 70 W 230 V sodium vapor lamps with compensation, connected to a three-
phase circuit between phase and neutral.
bb Power factor (Cos ): 0.85.
bb Average distance from the switchboard: 120 m.
Calculations
bb Lamp power per phase: (39 x 70)/3 = 910 W.
bb Ballast losses per phase, estimated at 10% of the lamp power: i.e. 91 W.
bb Lighting power per phase (P): 910 + 91 = 1001 W = 1 kW.
bb Corresponding current (I = P/U Cos ): = 1001 W/(230 V x 0.85) = 5.1 A.
The next highest value in the table, i.e. 6 A, is selected.
bb Correction of the values in the table for the maximum cable length to take into
account the power factor:
vv 98 x 1.118 = 110 m,
vv 163 x 1.118 = 182 m
The next highest corrected value in the table after 120 m, i.e. 182 m, is selected.
Cable and protection values selected
bb The recommended cable cross-section per phase so as not to exceed a 3% voltage
drop at the end of the line is therefore: 2.5 mm2.
bb Minimum recommended circuit breaker rating: twice 6 A, i.e. 13 A or 16 A as a
normalized value.
This rating is effectively less than or equal to the maximum authorized rating
(16 or 20 A ) to ensure that the cable is protected.

bb The rating printed on the front of the products never corresponds to the rated
current of the lighting circuit.
bb The standards that determine the ratings do not take into account all the electrical
constraints of the lamps due to their diversity and the complexity of the electrical
phenomena that they create (inrush current, starting current, end-of-life current, etc.).
bb Schneider Electric regularly conducts numerous tests to determine, for each type of
lamp and each lamp configuration, the maximum number of lamps that a relay with a
given rating can control for a given power.
Reflex iC60
+
Thermal dissipation
bb Modular contactors, due to their operating principle, constantly dissipate heat
(several watts) due to:
RCA iC60 vv coil consumption,
vv power contact resistance.
Where several modular contactors are installed side by side in a given enclosure, it is
therefore recommended to insert a side ventilation spacer at regular intervals
(every 1 or 2 contactors). Heat dissipation is thus facilitated. If the temperature inside
the enclosure exceeds 40C, apply to the rating a derating factor of 1% per C
above 40C.
bb The impulse relays, Reflex iC60 and RCA, can usefully replace the modular
contactors:
vv they consume less energy and dissipate less heat (no permanent current in the
coil). They require no spacer,
vv depending on the application, they allow a more compact installation with less
wiring.

(1) Circuits with non-compensated ferromagnetic ballasts consume twice as much current for a given power output. This explains the small number of lamps in this
configuration.
(2) The total capacitance of the power factor capacitors in parallel on a circuit limits the number of lamps that can be controlled by a contactor. The total downstream
capacitance of a modular contactor of rating 16, 25, 40 or 63 A should not exceed 75, 100, 200 or 300 F respectively.
Allow for these limits to calculate the maximum acceptable number of lamps if the capacitance values are different from those in the table.

Control auxiliaries
Overview
Control auxiliaries
bb These auxiliaries can perform a great variety of functions:
vv from the simplest (signaling, timer, illumination delay, etc.),
vv to the most sophisticated (centralized multi-level control, step-by-step control, etc.).
bb Moreover, some auxiliaries make it possible to overcome electrical disturbance
which may detract from satisfactory switching operation.
bb Schneider Electric has the most comprehensive and coherent product offering in
the market.
All the auxiliaries in a family (modular contactor or impulse relay) are compatible with
all the devices in that family.
iATEt iACT24 iRTA iATLc+s Mounting clips bb They are very easy to install thanks to their integral mounting clips which
simultaneously provide electrical and mechanical connection.

Various technologies and characteristics
bb These luminaires have a light source consisting mainly of fluorescent lamps and
LEDs, a battery to supply power in the event of a mains failure, and an electronic
circuit board. These products are selected according to their luminous flux, IP, IK and
battery life, illuminated continuously or only in the event of a power cut.
bb They are also chosen for their maintainability:
vv standard units: tests are carried out manually or via a remote control,
vv Activa/self-test units: they are tested automatically and indicate their operating state
by means of colored LEDs,
vv Dardo/addressable units: they self-test and send the result over a pair of wires to a
centralizing control device.
Anti-panic unit
Deactivating the luminaires
bb To prevent the batteries discharging when the installation is not used or in the event
of mains failure, the luminaires can be deactivated via:
vv a remote control (TBS) for Standard and Self-test units,
vv the Dardo Plus control unit for Addressable units.
The installation rules and diagrams are given for information only. They vary according to the
country.
Only the rules in force in each country must be observed.
bb Maximum spacing between each unit on the routes according to the size of the
evacuation pictogram.
bb At a minimum height (out of reach of the public; generally 2 m).
bb Affix warning signs to the units.
bb Minimum luminous flux requirement.
bb Autonomy requirement in the event of mains failure (generally 1 h).
bb Required on all public premises.
Appendix
Practical recommendations for the protection and control of lighting circuits
Basic rules
bb The cross-section and length of the cables must be appropriate to limit the voltage
drop to less than 3% at the end of the line in steady state (see tables on pages34
to 37).
bb The In rating of the standard protection and control switchgear must be far higher
than the rated current of the lighting circuit:
vv for the circuit breaker, take approximately twice the rated current of the circuit,
vv for the relay, always use the compatibility tables for each type of lamp and check
that its rating is always higher than that of the upstream circuit breaker (short circuit
coordination).
bb The In rating of the earth leakage protection device must be greater than or equal to
that of the upstream circuit breaker.
Recommendation n5
bb Curve C or D circuit breakers should be preferred to curve B. Confirmation by
design note required.
Recommendation n3
bb In the case of three-phase circuits + neutral with third-order and multiple
harmonic contents > 33%:
vv oversize the cross-section of the neutral cable compared with that of the
phases,
vv check that the neutral current resulting from the sum of the harmonics is less
than the In rating of the 4-pole circuit breaker.
Recommendation n4
bb Set the lighting to remain on continuously in corridors and offices at peak times
rather than use presence detectors that will switch it on and off repeatedly.
Recommendation n5
bb Regularly, at the end of the lamps' average service life, replace all the lamps and
their ignitor for a given area to reduce maintenance costs.
Recommendation n6
bb Use the impulse relay or Reflex iC60 rather than the contactor to prevent energy
losses in the coils (a few Watts/relay).
Appendix
Definition of light-related units

QQ Maintenance-free: the IC Astro light-sensitive switch offers the same functions as a regular light-
sensitive switch except that it does not require a light sensor. Accordingly, maintenance operations of
cleaning, adjustment or replacement due to vandalism are unnecessary.
QQ Energy savings: the lighting is switched on only during the period of activity of the site when the
luminosity makes lighting of the car park necessary. The fact that there is no sensor prevents
nonconforming lighting times due to fouling, damage to a sensor or the presence of plants.
