Test conditions and notes12
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  3. 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  4. 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. 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. 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. 7. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
  8. 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. 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. 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. 11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
  12. 12. 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-240-1050AB for high-power LED downlights?

Yes, this driver is built for constant current LED loads at 1050mA with a 114.3-228.6V constant current output range. That makes it suitable for LED downlight assemblies whose total forward voltage falls within that range, not for constant voltage products that expect a fixed 12V or 24V supply.

Is the HVGC-240-1050AB suitable for LED signage modules?

It can work for signage modules if the module string is designed for constant current operation at 1050mA and the combined forward voltage stays within 114.3-228.6V. It is not the right choice for constant voltage signage modules that are rated for fixed-voltage input.

Can this driver run a small LED array for architectural or display lighting?

Yes, if the LED array is a constant current load at 1050mA and its total forward voltage is within the 114.3-228.6V range. With 240W output power, it fits higher-power LED array builds better than low-power constant current drivers.

How do I know if my LED load is compatible with the HVGC-240-1050AB?

Match the driver to a constant current LED load that requires 1050mA, with a total forward voltage inside the 114.3-228.6V constant current range. The number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED, so compatibility is determined by total string voltage rather than a fixed LED count.

What are the main differences between the HVGC-240-1050AB and other 240W HVGC constant current models?

In the 240W HVGC range, the 700mA models use a 171.4-342.8V CC range, 1050mA models use 114.3-228.6V, 1400mA models use 85.7-171.4V, 1750mA models use 68.5-137.1V, 2100mA models use 57.2-114.3V, 2800mA models use 42.9-85.7V, and 3500mA models use 34.3-68.6V. The 1050AB shares the same 240W electrical class as the A and B versions, so the main electrical selection point is output current and matching CC voltage range.
