Report
DC – Forming – Characterising DC
Summary:
This project built a lab based (large bench) simulator of a typical whole
house wiring/connection system for assessing and testing conversion
to ELV DC LEDs, sockets and DC loads.
The system was used to test different component appliances, wiring
losses on typical wiring lengths and sizes/quality,
overload/fault/spark/other issues, performance and efficiency with
aggregate LED and DC device loads, and also to help review against
current BS standards.
The project was focused around physical testing, rather than as an
academic report. This document documents the test environment, initial
considerations and guidelines on DC, impact on retrofitting, test results
on example DC components / DC LEDs, DC component evaluation and
compliance tests.
