Compact fluorescent lamps electromagnetic compatibility measurements and performance evaluation

摘要: Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) have multiple benefits and give a much longer lifespan when compared to incandescent or halogen bulbs. The lower power consumption is their main great advantage, the higher price being one of most known disadvantages. Because internal structure, CFL also other disadvantages not such evident, sources electromagnetic fields, both radiated conducted at mains port. Also, ultraviolet radiations should be considered dealing with them, aspect covered in this paper. Several tests were done on different types CFL, from manufacturers — them well known, order determine level pollution. field disturbances port measured, frequency range 80 MHz 1 GHz 150 kHz 30 MHz, respectively. resulted values against limits provided by CISPR 22 international standard. All measurements shielded enclosure, avoid unwanted interferences EM filed sources.
