Test conditions and notes12
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  3. 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  4. 4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  5. 5. 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)
  6. 6. 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.
  7. 7. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
  8. 8. 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).
  9. 9. 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
  10. 10. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
  11. 11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
  12. 12. This product is intended for North America and EU lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ

Can I use the HVGC-240-1400A for constant current LED downlights?

Yes, this model is intended for constant current LED loads at 1400mA, with an 85.7-171.4V constant current output range. It fits LED downlight assemblies whose total forward voltage is inside that range, rather than constant voltage fixtures that need a fixed output voltage.

Is the HVGC-240-1400A suitable for LED signage modules that need more current than 1050mA?

Yes, if the signage module string is designed for 1400mA constant current input and the full forward voltage stays between 85.7V and 171.4V. Compared with a 1050mA driver, this version is for loads that need higher current and a lower CC voltage range.

Can this model power a compact high-output LED array?

Yes, for constant current LED arrays rated at 1400mA and operating within the 85.7-171.4V CC range. With 240W output power, it is intended for substantially larger loads than low-power constant current drivers.

What should I check before pairing LEDs with the HVGC-240-1400A?

Confirm that the LED load is a constant current design requiring 1400mA, and that the combined LED forward voltage falls within 85.7-171.4V. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so compatibility is based on total voltage, not a fixed LED quantity.

Can the HVGC-240-1400A be used in demanding temperature conditions?

Yes, it is specified for a working case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at higher temperatures. The HVGC-240 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, so it is better suited to dust and water exposure than open-frame indoor drivers.
