IEC 61823 pdf download Electrical installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes – AGL series transformers
1 Scope
This standard specifies the characteristics of aeronautical ground lighting series transformers(AGLST)used in aeronautical ground lighting for 6,6 A series circuits, at a service voltage ofup to 5 kV, supplied by constant current regulators up to 30 kVA in rating.
AGL series transformers provide power to airport lighting luminaires or other loads (resistive)from their secondary circuits.The AGL series transformers provide continuity of the seriescircuit in the event of a loss of the load on the transformer, and electrical isolation betweenthe primary circuit supplied by a constant current regulator,and the secondary circuitconnected to the load under conditions defined in this standard.
An AGL series transformer is be able to withstand a permanent short or open-circuitsecondary series circuit.
Specifications for similar series transformers intended for any primary or secondary currentsother than 6,6 A,or to supply alternative voltages,constant power,reactive loads,etc., arenot included in this standard.
