Test conditions and notes11
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 5. Output voltage can be adjusted through the SVR1 on the PCB ; limit of output constant current level can be adjusted through the SVR2 on the PCB.
- 6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 7. The power supply 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)
- 8. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 9. 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.
- 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. This product is not suitable for LED lighting applications in China.(It is recommended to use the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series in China)

FAQ
What applications is the Mean Well PLC-60-15 best suited for?
The PLC-60-15 is designed for LED lighting and moving sign applications that need a 15V DC power source. Its 60W output and built-in constant current limiting make it a practical choice for systems that drive LEDs in its 10.5-15V constant current region.
What are the main electrical ratings of the PLC-60-15?
This model is rated for 60W output power with a 15V DC output and 4A rated current. It also supports 90-264VAC universal AC input and includes power factor correction, with PF>0.92 at 115VAC and PF>0.9 at 230VAC at full load.
Does the PLC-60-15 support dimming control?
No, the PLC-60-15 does not include a dimming control function. If your project requires dimming, you would need to compare it with a different LED driver model that specifically lists dimming support.
What makes the PLC-60-15 different from a basic fixed-output power supply?
This model combines constant voltage output with built-in constant current limiting, which is useful in LED-related applications. It also includes PFC, the LPS marking, and a full set of protections including short circuit, over current, over voltage, and over temperature.
Can the output of the PLC-60-15 be adjusted?
Yes, the PLC-60-15 includes adjustable output voltage and current level capability. That gives buyers some flexibility when selecting this model for applications that need a 15V nominal output with tunable operating limits.
Is the PLC-60-15 suitable for demanding operating environments?
It is rated for operation from -30°C to 50°C (with derating per the derating curve), which supports use across a fairly wide temperature range. The unit is also rated for 20-95% RH non-condensing humidity and 2G vibration at 10-500Hz.
