阐述了在频率为50 Hz或60 Hz的无启动器电路中使用的具有预热阴极的管状荧光灯阴极加热的基本技术要求。就阴极加热条件而言，提出的要求是获得可靠灯具性能所需的要求。用于操作这些灯的镇流器应根据这些基本要求提供阴极加热电压和电流。此出版物具有报告的状态。

States basic technical requirements for cathode heating of tubular fluorescent lamps having pre-heated cathodes and intended for use in starterless circuits at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The requirements presented are those needed, as far as cathode heating conditions are concerned, to obtain reliable lamp performance. Ballasts used for the operation of these lamps should supply cathode heating voltages and currents in accordance with these basic requirements. This publication has the status of a report.
