Abstract (en)

1. A lighting system including a current transformer whose secondary winding feeds at least one lamp and whose primary winding is intended to be connected in series with the primary windings of the current transformers of other, similar lighting systems, thereby constituting a portion of the secondary circuit of a medium tension/low tension transformer whose primary winding is in turn connected in a regulated current loop, the lighting system being characterized in that : the lamp is a fluorescent lamp (L1, L2) whose triging/regulation components are likewise powered by the secondary winding (S) of the current transformer (TC) ; and in that the secondary winding (S) of each current transformer is provided in parallel with clipping members (51, 52) suitable, when the associated lamp fails, for consuming a substantial fraction of the nominal energy required by the lamp, thereby conserving the flow of nominal current to the primary windings of the other current transformers.

Abstract (fr)

Un dispositif d'éclairage (D) comprend un transformateur de courant (TC) dont le secondaire alimente au moins une lampe fluorescente avec ses organes d'amorçage/régulation. En parallèle sur le secondaire sont prévus des organes d'écrêtage et d'àccord (50, 51, 52) propres à consommer, lorsque la lampe associée est défaillante, une fraction substantielle de l'énergie nominale demandée par celle-ci. De préférence, on prévoit deux lampes dans chaque dispositif, une détection (30) du fait que l'une (L1) de ces lampes ne s'amorce pas permettant de faire passer l'alimentation (I) sur la second lampe (L2).
