Test conditions and notes14

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
6. 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.
7. No load/standby power consumption is specified for 230VAC input.
8. 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)
9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70℃ or less.
10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
11. 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).
12. 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
13. 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.
14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

What does the 3Y suffix mean on the ELG-240-48DA-3Y?

The 3Y suffix indicates the 3-wire input version: its input cable has AC/L (brown), AC/N (blue) and PE (green/yellow) wires. This is relevant for installations where the driver case should be connected to protective earth, which the datasheet recommends for complete EMC performance and safe use.

Does the ELG-240-48DA-3Y support DALI dimming?

Yes. The DA portion of the SKU indicates DALI dimming support, allowing the driver to be addressed and dimmed through a DALI bus. This is useful for smart building projects, office lighting systems, and any installation requiring networked dimming control.

Is the ELG-240-48DA-3Y rated for outdoor use?

Yes. The ELG-240 series is rated IP65 or IP67, meaning the enclosure is dust-tight and water-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor LED architectural lighting, signage enclosures, and installations exposed to rain.

How many meters of 48V LED strip can the ELG-240-48DA-3Y power?

With 240W output at 48V on 200–305VAC input (180W on 100–180VAC), this driver supports up to 240W of LED load. At a strip density of 20W per meter, that is 12 meters; at 16W per meter it is 15 meters. Always verify the strip's per-meter wattage and do not exceed the rating for your input voltage.

Can the ELG-240-48DA-3Y be used in commercial office LED lighting systems with a building automation controller?

Yes. DALI compatibility and a three-wire input make this driver well suited for commercial office LED luminaires connected to DALI-enabled building automation or energy management systems. The 240W capacity at 48V can drive substantial LED loads from a single driver.

What operating temperature range does the ELG-240-48DA-3Y support?

The driver is specified for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with a maximum ambient of 60°C at rated current in constant-current mode. This covers cold outdoor environments as well as warm enclosed fixture housings, provided the case stays within its limit.
