Test conditions and notes11
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  5. 5. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
  6. 6. This is the maximum possible output current and power. Over load protection may be activated slightly below this level to comply with the requirement of UL1310 class 2.
  7. 7. Safety and EMC design refer to BS EN/EN60598-1, subject 8750(UL), CNS15233, GB7000.1, FCC part18.
  8. 8. The power supply 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)
  9. 9. 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.
  10. 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. 11. PLC-100-12 is used for any light source that exempt from the ErP-Directive (EU) 2019/2020 requirement, for example this model could be use for signalling products (including, but not limited to road-, railway-, marineorair traffic-signalling , traffic control or airfield lamps).

FAQ

What output does the Mean Well PLC-100-15 provide?

The PLC-100-15 is specified for a 15V DC output with a rated current of 5A. In the provided product data, its listed power rating is 75W. It is designed as a C.V.+C.C. power supply with adjustable output voltage and current level.

What kinds of applications is the PLC-100-15 suited for?

This model is described as suitable for LED lighting and moving sign applications. Its constant voltage plus current-limiting design makes it relevant for systems that need a regulated 15V output rather than dimming control. For buyers comparing options, the key fit is 15V equipment within the unit's rated current and power limits.

Does the PLC-100-15 include power factor correction?

Yes. This model includes a built-in PFC circuit, and the datasheet states a typical power factor above 0.95 at full load. That makes it a stronger fit for commercial and professional applications where power quality is an important purchasing factor.

Can the PLC-100-15 be used in demanding temperature conditions?

The listed operating temperature range is -30°C to 50°C, with load derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve. That gives it a usable span for many indoor and protected equipment environments where temperature swings matter. Buyers should still confirm the surrounding enclosure and full system conditions are appropriate for that range.

Does the PLC-100-15 support dimming control?

No. The product data lists dimming control as none. If your application requires integrated dimming, you would need to compare this model with a different power supply or LED driver that explicitly includes a dimming interface.

What protection and compliance-related features are included on the PLC-100-15?

The datasheet lists over current (constant current limiting), over voltage and over temperature protection. It is also designed to UL1310 Class 2 requirements and carries the LPS mark. Those details make it easier to evaluate for commercial LED and power supply use where protection coverage is part of the buying decision.
