Resumo

Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de um novo medidor de flicker baseado na análise direta da variação instantânea do fluxo luminoso. A proposta do medidor é baseada no Flickermeter IEC modificado, o que permite medir o flicker produzido por flutuação de tensão em lâmpadas de tecnologias distintas. Isso o torna uma alternativa ao Flickermeter convencional, que não apresenta resultados válidos para ambientes iluminados com lâmpadas não- incandescentes. Um protótipo do equipamento foi desenvolvido e os resultados obtidos são apresentados e analisados.

Title: Development And Implementation Of A Flickermeter With Luminous Flux Variation Measurement

Keywords: flicker, Flickermeter, Luminous Flux Variation, voltage fluctuation

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a new Flickermeter with direct luminous flux variation measurement. It is based on IEC’s Flickermeter and can measure the flicker produced from lamps of different technologies under voltage fluctuation. The device is an alternative to the IEC’s Flickermeter (that is limited). The experimental results of the prototype are presented and analyzed.
