(b) Deep-dimming fluorescent ballasts must be tested using 10 C.F.R. Sec. 430.23(q) (appendix Q1 to subpart B of part 430), modified as follows:
(i) The control signal to the ballast must indicate full output. The arc power of all connected lamps must be measured and then added together. This result will be referred to as "max arc power." An appropriate lighting control must be selected to achieve the control signal used to determine the max arc power and to tune the ballast to the appropriate dimming levels. The controls must be selected by using the following methodology:
(A) If the ballast manufacturer also manufactures a lighting control designed to be operated with the ballast, the test must be conducted using the ballast manufacturer's lighting control; or
(B) If the manufacturer does not manufacture a compatible lighting control, but recommends the use of a specific manufacturer or model of lighting control, the test must be conducted using the recommended lighting controls; or
(C) If the manufacturer does not manufacture a compatible lighting control, and does not recommend a specific lighting control, the lab technician shall select a lighting control that sufficiently controls the ballast to complete the test; or
(D) If multiple control options are available, use the lighting control that is capable of using all of the features of a ballast and with the minimum amount of other features. The lighting control manufacturer and model number must appear on the test report.
(ii) Three sets of input power and arc power must be measured using the federal test procedure with the total arc power tuned to 100, 80, and 50 percent of the measured max arc power. If a step dimming ballast or a ballast that can only turn connected lamps on or off has dimming steps other than 80 and 50 percent, then the closest step that is between 90 and including 65 percent must be used for 80 percent testing, and the closest step that is between 65 and including 35 must be used for 50 percent testing. If no step exists in the ranges prescribed in this subsection (15)(b)(ii), then no result may be recorded for that percentage dimming test. The resulting input powers must be recorded and referred to as P100, P80, and P50.
(iii) The ballast must also be tested with a control input set to the lowest dimming state possible up to and including no light output. The input power to the ballast must be measured and recorded as P0. The measurement must be taken 90 minutes after entering the lowest dimming state possible. P0 must be recorded as the mean value of measurements taken at 5 second intervals over a 5-minute period.
(iv) The annual energy use must be calculated, with the results in kWh/year, using the following formula:
Annual energy use = (P100 x t100 + P80 x t80 + P50 x t50 + P0 x t0)/1000
Where power is in watts and time values (ti) are taken from the appropriate tables below:
| | | | |
| Time variable | Measurements taken |
| | P80, P50 | P80, No P50 | No P80, P50 | No P80, No P50 |
| t100 | 637 | 876 | 1592 | 2388 |
| t80 | 1592 | 1890 | 0 | 0 |
| t50 | 955 | 0 | 1592 | 0 |
| t0 | 5576 | 5576 | 5576 | 5576 |

The heating capacity tests must be conducted at ambient temperatures of each 47 and 17 degrees Fahrenheit and a leaving water temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If the package is capable of cooling, it must be tested at an ambient temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and a leaving water temperature of 44 degrees Fahrenheit.
