Test conditions and notes11
- 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.
- 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.

FAQ
Can I use the HVG-240-36AB for 36V dimmable LED lighting?
Yes, this model is the 36V, 241.2W, 6.7A adjustable and dimmable option in the series. It fits 36V constant current lighting loads within the 18-36V CC range when the total demand stays at or below 241.2W.
Is the HVG-240-36AB a good fit for 36V sign lighting that needs output adjustment?
It is intended for 36V constant current LED lighting loads, so it can fit sign-lighting products that match the 36V output, 6.7A current, and 241.2W maximum power. The adjustable design is relevant when the lighting product's electrical requirements fall within the listed 18-36V constant current range.
Can this model be used for 36V canopy or area lighting in damp locations?
The IP65 water-resistant enclosure supports use in damp or outdoor locations, provided the lighting load is also suitable for that environment. Electrically, the load still needs to match 36V constant current operation and remain within 241.2W and 6.7A.
Can the HVG-240-36AB power a long 36V LED strip run?
For wattage planning, use the 241.2W maximum output and divide it by the strip's rated watts per meter. For example, the formula is 241.2W ÷ strip W/m, but you should check your strip rated power per meter and verify that the strip is compatible with 36V constant current output.
Is IP65 enough for outdoor lighting projects?
IP65 means the driver is water-resistant and suited to outdoor or wet-area exposure where direct weather resistance is needed. It is not the same as the IP67 waterproof rating used on the HVG-240-36B, so the environment should be matched to the enclosure rating.
What is the difference between HVG-240-36A, 36AB, 36B, and the other HVG-240 voltages?
Within the 36V versions, HVG-240-36A, HVG-240-36AB, and HVG-240-36B are all listed at 241.2W, 36V, and 6.7A, while HVG-240-36D2 is listed at 240W. Across the HVG-240 family, the other outputs are 24V at 240W and 10A, 30V at 240W and 8A, 42V at 239.4W and 5.7A, 48V at 240W and 5A, and 54V at 243W and 4.5A.
