Test conditions and notes11

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. 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. 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. 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. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
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. 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. 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. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can the ELG-75-C500A drive LED downlights while allowing field adjustment of the output current?

Yes. The A-suffix indicates that the output current can be adjusted via a built-in potentiometer. This allows an installer to fine-tune the 500mA output to match specific LED module requirements within the driver's 250–500mA adjustment range. The CC voltage range is 75–150V.

Is the ELG-75-C500A appropriate for outdoor LED signage in humid environments?

The ELG-75-C500A carries an IP65 water-resistant rating, which protects against water jets from any direction but does not cover temporary immersion. It suits outdoor signage when built into the sign cabinet or luminaire (the spec sheet notes A-type units should be built in to comply with Type HL), and it should not be submerged. The working case temperature (Tcase) range is -40°C to +85°C.

Can I use this driver for a small LED array installed in a cold-room lighting system?

Yes. The ELG-75-C500A operates down to a case temperature of -40°C, making it compatible with cold-room and freezer lighting applications. The IP65 rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets; working humidity is rated 20–95% RH non-condensing.

How does the adjustable output on the ELG-75-C500A help when matching it to an LED load?

The built-in potentiometer lets integrators set the output current anywhere from 250mA up to the rated 500mA to match the rated current of the LED module. This is particularly useful when LED modules call for a lower drive current than the nominal 500mA, or when a reduced light output is wanted.

How many LEDs can the ELG-75-C500A drive in a series string?

The CC voltage range is 75–150V, so the allowable series string length depends on each LED's forward voltage. Ensure the combined forward voltage of all LEDs in the string falls within the 75–150V window. The driver will not maintain regulation outside this range.

What is the difference between the ELG-75-C500A and the ELG-75-C500AB?

Both share the same 75W, 500mA constant current output, 75–150V CC range, and IP65 rating. The ELG-75-C500A provides output current adjustment only (via potentiometer), while the ELG-75-C500AB adds three-in-one dimming (0–10V, 10V PWM signal, or resistance) on top of the current adjustment. Choose the C500AB if remote dimming control is also required.

Does the ELG-75-C500A support operation on both 120V and 230V mains?

Yes. The input voltage range is 100–305VAC, so the ELG-75-C500A operates on both 120V North American and 230V European mains supplies without any manual switching. This wide input range also covers 277V supplies common in US commercial buildings.
