Connectors
Philips Xitanium LED Xtreme SR drivers are equipped with
Wago or equivalent type push-in connectors. The mains, and
Equipotential connectors are -depending on driver type - Wago type
804 or 250 while the LED output
and control
connectors are
Wago type 250. All connectors accept stranded, solid core and
crimped wires. More info about connectivity (wiring diagram,
wire diameters, strip length) can be found in the driver datasheet.
Note
s
:
although the driver connectors allow for quite small wire
cross section areas (down to 0.2mm
2
) it is recommended for optimal
connectivity to use mains and LED output wires having at least
0.5mm
2
cross section area.
For currents between 1.0 and 1.5A (rms/DC) per connector, a
minimum cross section of 0.75mm
2
is advised.
In some scenarios two wires need to be connected to one
connector terminal. In this case, the pairing has to be done outside
the driver, resulting in only one wire going into the
connector terminal. Two wires into one connector terminal are not
supported.
The reliability of twin-wire ferrules (or wire end stop), accepting the
wires intended to use, should be checked with the supplier of these
ferrules.
Mains operating conditions
Xitanium LED Xtreme SR drivers are designed for operation
and performance by power sources or grids providing a clean
and symmetric sinusoidal voltage wave form and do not
support operation on power sources including but not limited to
having e.g. a square-wave voltage form or a "modified sinewave".
Xitanium LED Xtreme SR drivers are able to withstand high and
low mains voltages for a limited period of time.
This includes under- and overvoltage due to malfunction such as a
loose neutral wire in the grid.
Low and high mains voltage
Xitanium LED Xtreme SR drivers are designed to be operated at
mains under- and overvoltage per IEC requirements for performance
and operational safety with respect to specified rated input voltage
range.
The applicable lower limit for driver performance is lowest rated
voltage - 8% while -10% applies for driver operational safety. For
drivers equipped with MainsGuard a lower limit applies for
operational safety.
The applicable upper limit for driver performance is highest rated
v6 % while +10 % applies to driver operational safety.
The actual limit values can be found in the driver datasheet.
For optimal luminaire performance it is always recommended to
operate drivers within the specified voltage performance range.
