Test conditions and notes13

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC 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. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
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 power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
7. 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)
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
12. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
13. This product is intended for North America lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ

Can I use the HVG-240-36A for 36V outdoor LED signage?

It can be used for 36V LED signage loads when the load matches the driver's 36V output and stays within 241.2W and 6.7A. Its IP65/IP67 rating suits outdoor or damp locations, but the connected lighting load also needs to be rated appropriately for that environment.

Is this driver suitable for 36V architectural or facade lighting?

Yes, it is sized for 36V architectural lighting products that need constant current operation within the 18-36V CC range. The 241.2W maximum output and IP65/IP67 rating make it relevant for higher-power lighting runs in indoor or weather-exposed areas.

Can the HVG-240-36A run a 36V LED strip lighting project?

It can support a 36V LED strip or linear lighting product if that product is compatible with 36V constant current output and the total load does not exceed 241.2W. For strip-length planning, use 241.2W divided by the strip's rated watts per meter, and check your strip rated power per meter.

Would this work for wet-location lighting around building exteriors?

The driver is rated IP65/IP67, so it is intended for outdoor or damp-area exposure rather than dry indoor use only. For harsher washdown or full-weather exposure, confirm the IP rating of the exact unit, as the sheet lists the series as IP65 or IP67.

How much 36V LED strip can this power?

Use the driver's 241.2W maximum output for the estimate. The math is: maximum length = 241.2W divided by your strip's watts per meter, and you should check your strip rated power per meter and confirm it is compatible with 36V constant current operation.

How does the HVG-240-36A compare with other HVG-240 output options?

In the HVG-240 family, the listed outputs are 24V at 240W and 10A, 30V at 240W and 8A, 36V at 241.2W and 6.7A, 42V at 239.4W and 5.7A, 48V at 240W and 5A, and 54V at 243W and 4.5A. This 36A version shares the same 36V, 241.2W, and 6.7A electrical rating as HVG-240-36AB and HVG-240-36B.
