Analysis of electric power quantities of road LED luminaires under sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal conditions

Abstract

The paper presents the results of laboratory tests concerning the measurements of electrical parameters of road lighting luminaires. These measurements were focused on determining the dependence of the electrical parameters of the luminaires versus the changes of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of the supply voltage and the level of disturbances in the supply voltage. The basic electrical parameters for light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires were analysed with the option of luminous flux adjustment if it existed. During the laboratory measurements, the luminaires were powered from the Agilent 6834B distorted voltage generator within the assumed acceptable range of the changes in the deformation level resulting from the applicable legal provisions for the reproduction of actual power supply conditions.
