Test conditions and notes12
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 5. It is measured 50% ~ 100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 6. The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 7. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 10. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 11. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf

FAQ
Can the HVGC-100-700AB power 700mA LED downlights in commercial lighting projects?
Yes, it is designed for constant current operation at 700mA. The LED load must have a combined forward voltage within 15-142V and remain within the driver's 99.4W rating. It should be used with constant current downlights rather than constant voltage products.
Is this driver suitable for signage modules that need more current than a 350mA model provides?
Yes, this model outputs 700mA, while the 350mA HVGC-100 versions output half that current. It is intended for constant current signage modules or small LED arrays whose total forward voltage falls within 15-142V and whose total load stays within 99.4W. The actual LED quantity depends on each LED's forward voltage.
Can I use the HVGC-100-700AB for compact LED arrays with a lower total voltage than the 350mA versions support?
Yes, this 700mA version operates across a 15-142V constant current range, which is lower than the 29-285V range of the 350mA versions. That makes it appropriate for 700mA arrays whose total forward voltage fits inside 15-142V. It remains a constant current driver, not a constant voltage unit.
How do I check compatibility between this driver and my LEDs?
Start by confirming the LEDs are meant for 700mA constant current operation. Then make sure the total LED forward voltage stays within 15-142V; the number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED, so there is no single fixed count. The full load must also stay within 99.4W.
What are the main differences between the HVGC-100-700AB and the other HVGC-100 current variants?
The 700mA HVGC-100 versions are rated at 99.4W and operate over a 15-142V constant current range. The 350mA HVGC-100 versions are rated at 99.75W and operate over a 29-285V constant current range. Within the 700mA group, the A, AB, and B versions keep the same core electrical ratings.
