Relatório Descritivo da Patente de Invenção para "MEIO DE CONEXÃO PARA CONEXÃO ELÉTRICA ENTRE REATORES E DEMAIS COMPONENTES DE UM SISTEMA DE ILUMINAÇÃO E USO DO REFERIDO DISPOSITIVO."  Report of the Invention Patent for "CONNECTION MEANS FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN REACTORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF A LIGHTING SYSTEM AND USE OF THE DEVICE."
Campo da Invenção Field of the Invention
A presente invenção refere-se a um meio de conexão para conexão elétrica entre reatores e demais componentes de um sistema de iluminação e uso do referido dispositivo. The present invention relates to a connection means for electrical connection between reactors and other components of a lighting system and use of said device.
Fundamentos da Invenção e Descrição do Estado da Técnica  Background of the Invention and Description of the Prior Art
A maior parte dos atuais sistemas de iluminação possui reatores elétricos ou eletrônicos no circuito de alimentação das lâmpadas. Tais reatores estão normalmente localizados no interior da luminária e possuem uma grande quantidade de fios que se conectam a outros componentes do sistema de iluminação.  Most current lighting systems have electrical or electronic ballasts in the lamp power circuit. Such reactors are usually located inside the luminaire and have a large amount of wires that connect to other lighting system components.
Numa instalação típica, para ser possível a conexão elétrica entre os fios que estão conectados ao reator e os demais componentes do sistema de iluminação, é necessário remover um pequeno segmento do revestimento isolante do condutor elétrico, de modo a deixar exposto o feixe de fios condutores, os quais normalmente são torcidos entre si e posteriormente torcidos a outro segmento de fios condutores de outro condutor elétrico de um outro componente do sistema de iluminação. A porção que compreende os fios torcidos é então submetida a um processo de isolamento elétrico, normalmente pela aplicação de fita isolante, ou de outra forma de isolamento. In a typical installation, in order to be able to be electrically connected between the wires that are connected to the reactor and the other lighting system components, a small segment of the electrical conductor insulation jacket must be removed to expose the conductor wire bundle. , which are normally twisted together and subsequently twisted to another segment of conductor wires of another electrical conductor of another component of the lighting system. The portion comprising the twisted wires is then subjected to an electrical insulation process, usually by the application of electrical tape, or other insulation.
Esta sequência de operações para conexão dos fios condutores, entre os diversos componentes do sistema de iluminação, é relativamente fácil de ser realizada no momento da montagem ou instalação do sistema de iluminação. No entanto, vários inconvenientes são aparentes quando há necessidade de substituição do reator do sistema de iluminação, o qual normalmente possui grande quantidade de fios elétricos a serem desconectados, primeiro pela remoção do isolamento das suas conexões, depois destorcer cada par de segmentos de fios condutores. Depois de removido o reator defeituoso, deve ser instalado ao sistema de iluminação o novo reator. Sendo necessário novo procedimento de conexão entre os diversos condutores pela torção manual dos pares de segmentos condutores, tarefa a ser realizada inúmeras vezes, devido a grande quantidade de fios condutores que se interligam a partir do reator para os componentes do sistema de iluminação. Finalmente as conexões devem ser isoladas eletricamente com fita isolante enrolada ao redor de cada conexão. This sequence of operations for connecting the lead wires between the various components of the lighting system is relatively easy to perform when mounting or installing the lighting system. However, several drawbacks are apparent when there is a need for replacement of the lighting system reactor, which usually has a large amount of electrical wires to be disconnected, first by removing insulation from their connections, then untwisting each pair of lead wires. Once the defective reactor is removed, the new reactor must be installed in the lighting system. A new procedure for connecting the various conductors is required by manually twisting the pairs of conductor segments, a task to be performed numerous times due to the large amount of conductor wires that interconnect from the reactor to the lighting system components. Finally the connections must be electrically insulated with electrical tape wrapped around each connection.
Este método de instalação ou substituição de um reator é normalmente um procedimento trabalhoso e perigoso, tendo em vista que o sistema de iluminação está quase sempre situado no teto de um ambiente e que um reator típico tem uma pluralidade de fios discretos que precisam ser desconectados e novamente conectados ao sistema de iluminação. Além disso, há o risco potencial do instalador receber acidentalmente uma descarga elétrica enquanto realiza o procedimento de substituição do reator. This method of installing or replacing a reactor is usually a laborious and hazardous procedure, since the lighting system is almost always situated on the ceiling of an environment and that a typical reactor has a plurality of discrete wires that need to be disconnected and disconnected. reconnected to the lighting system. In addition, there is a potential risk that the installer will accidentally receive an electrical discharge while performing the reactor replacement procedure.

Em vista do acima exposto, é um objetivo da presente invenção apresentar meios de conexão que permitam a interligação entre o reator e demais componentes do sistema de iluminação, evitando a repetida manipulação de vários fios condutores na instalação ou substituição do reator.  In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide connection means for interconnecting the reactor with other lighting system components, avoiding repeated manipulation of various conductor wires in the installation or replacement of the reactor.
É um objetivo adicional da presente invenção utilizar os meios de conexão na operação de teste do reator, durante o processo de fabricação. It is a further object of the present invention to utilize the connection means in the reactor test operation during the manufacturing process.
