Specification for Photoelectric Control Units for Road Lighting
Also Known As:
BS 5972:1980 is a standard that provides specifications for photoelectric control units used in road lighting. These control units are designed to operate on supply voltages up to 250 V and are capable of switching a current not exceeding 10 A. The standard also includes requirements for the electrical and photometric performance of these units.
The standard ensures that the photoelectric control units meet the necessary safety and performance criteria. It sets out guidelines for the design, construction, and testing of these units to ensure reliable and efficient operation. By adhering to the specifications outlined in BS 5972:1980, road lighting systems can be effectively controlled and optimized based on the surrounding ambient lighting conditions.
In addition to the requirements for the control units, the standard also covers the associated sockets used for connecting these units to the road lighting circuit. This ensures compatibility and proper functioning of the units within the lighting system.
