Transformer BHD 2000 L76 - 380/400/415V, 50Hz, HP-317 913700232103

Power Supply for High-Power HID Lighting Systems

This device is a dedicated transformer (choke) designed for operation with high-power discharge lamps, particularly of the HI (High Intensity) type. Its primary function is to stabilize the circuit for light sources with a nominal power ranging from 1800 to 2000 W. By being used in single-lamp circuits, it ensures reliable maintenance of the electric arc in sodium lamps (SON-T, HPL), metal halide lamps (HPI), and mercury lamps (MH), which require higher starting voltages and current stabilization.

Construction and Installation Conditions

Installation space is critical for such large devices. The enclosure dimensions are 317 mm in length, 117 mm in width, and 102 mm in height, requiring adequate space planning within the distribution board or luminaire. This model features a closed enclosure, protecting internal windings from dust and moisture, although it does not have a certified IP protection rating (the "Other" designation in manufacturer data suggests either no IP specification or basic protection dependent on the installation location).

Electrical connection is made via traditional screw terminals, facilitating installation for installers who prefer proven wire connection methods. The device operates at a rated voltage range of 380–415 V with a mains frequency of 50 Hz. It should be noted that the transformer lacks strain relief functionality or built-in dimming systems (such as DALI, 0-10V, or DMX), meaning it is an "on/off" solution for constant load applications.

Key Features and Practical Application

In engineering practice, the selection of this model is driven by the need to support specific types of high-luminous-efficiency lamps. It is not suitable for modern LED sources or smaller compact lamps (TC-D, TC-L); its application is limited exclusively to HI lamps with a power of 2 kW. The device supports a single light source with power up to 2000 W, making it an ideal choice for installations requiring high light intensity.

Operation is based on a rated voltage within the range of 380 V to 415 V at a standard frequency of 50 Hz. Connections are made using proven screw terminals, ensuring connection durability under harsh industrial conditions. The absence of dimming or system control capabilities (such as DALI or DMX) indicates the device is intended for continuous constant operation without the need for light intensity regulation.

The device dimensions are 317 mm in length, 117 mm in width, and 102 mm in height, which must be considered when designing the enclosure. The rated voltage covers the range from 380 V to 415 V at a standard frequency of 50 Hz. The maximum supported lamp power is 2000 W in a single-lamp configuration. Connection is achieved via screw terminals, ensuring connection durability in industrial environments.

The device complies with CE safety standards and holds an ENEC certificate, which is standard for PHILIPS ŹRÓDŁA products in the professional segment. The lack of strain relief functionality means that for installations exposed to voltage spikes, appropriate external protection must be provided in the main distribution board. This is a classic solution for industrial facilities, warehouse halls, or large outdoor areas where traditional high-power discharge light sources are used.
