Test conditions and notes13
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC 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 power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 5. Current ripple is measured between 50%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 6. 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)
- 7. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 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 and EU lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ
Can I use the HVGC-150-350A for high-voltage LED downlight arrays?
Yes, this driver is intended for constant current LED loads and delivers 350mA across a 42-428V constant current range. That makes it a fit for LED downlight arrays that are designed around a 350mA drive current and a combined forward voltage that stays within that range.
Is this driver suitable for signage modules that need a long series string?
It can be suitable for signage modules when the module string is a constant current 350mA load and the total forward voltage falls within 42-428V. This is not a constant voltage power supply, so it should be matched to signage modules designed for constant current operation.
Can the HVGC-150-350A run a small LED array for architectural or display lighting?
Yes, if the LED array is specified for constant current operation at 350mA. With 149.8W power and a 42-428V constant current range, it is intended for higher-voltage LED arrays rather than constant voltage LED systems.
How do I know if my LED load is compatible with this 350mA driver?
The electrical match is based on the 42-428V constant current output range and the 350mA rated output current, which can be adjusted from 210 to 350mA with the built-in potentiometer. The number of LEDs depends on each LED forward voltage, so compatibility should be checked by total forward voltage, not by a fixed LED count.
Is the HVGC-150-350A appropriate for damp or outdoor locations?
The HVGC-150 series is IP65 or IP67 approved and works at a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +80°C, with output load derated at higher temperatures. For damp or outdoor use the sheet notes a waterproof connector can be assembled on the output cable, and A-type units need to be considered for built-in use to comply with UL8750 Type HL.
