ANSI E1.16-2002 pdf download American National Standard E1.16 – 2002 Entertainment Technology Configuration Standard for Metal-Halide Ballast Power Cables
1 Scope This standard describes a standard practice for grounding contact assignment for detachable power cables on 6kW, 12kW and 18kW metal-halide lamp ballasts used in the motion picture and televi- sion industries on portable studio luminaires that use the MIL-C-5015 connector with #28-6 insert configuration on the ballast end of the power cable.
2 Purpose The use of a standardized pin assignment will reduce the possibility of ballast chassis to ungrounded power conductor connections caused by mismatched cables and ballasts.
3 Requirements Connectors on detachable power cables for use on 6kW, 12kW and 18kW metal-halide lamp ballasts with MIL-C-5015 equivalent #28-6 insert configurations (one-piece construction) and contact configuration (screw machine) shall designate the “A” position as the grounding contact. This shall be extended for mate first/break last operation.
