Description
Summary:In this paper simulation and measurements used for testing an emergency luminaire are presented. Model validation is accomplished by comparing the PSpice data with the experimental data acquired with the help of an oscilloscope and a measuring system which offers real-time storage of current and voltage waveform measurements. Simulations of the fault-free circuit and faulty circuit instances proved to be in good accordance to the measured data. From the simulated fault-free and several commonly encountered faulty circuit cases, a fault dictionary can be built in order to be used in a fault circuit diagnosis method for emergency luminaire circuits.
