Test conditions and notes11
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC 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. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 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. Safety and EMC design refer to BS EN/EN60598-1, subject 8750(UL), CNS15233, GB7000.1, FCC part18.
- 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. 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. 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. 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 is the output rating of the Mean Well PLC-100-24?
The PLC-100-24 is rated for 24V DC output and 4.0A rated current. Its listed power rating is 96W, and it is commonly described as a 100W class power supply. This model is designed for applications that need a stable 24V supply with active PFC.
What types of applications is the PLC-100-24 suitable for?
This LED power supply suits LED lighting and moving sign applications. Its constant voltage design with built-in constant current limiting circuit makes it relevant for systems that require a regulated 24V output. It is intended for commercial and industrial-style power supply use rather than consumer plug-and-play applications.
Does the PLC-100-24 include power factor correction?
Yes, this model includes a built-in PFC circuit. The datasheet states a typical PF>0.95 at full load on 115VAC and 230VAC input, which is a useful feature for higher-load operation. That helps distinguish it from simpler non-PFC power supplies.
What protection features are included in the PLC-100-24?
The PLC-100-24 includes over current protection (constant current limiting with automatic recovery), over voltage protection (latch off, re-power to recover) and over temperature protection. These features support reliability in demanding power supply applications.
What operating temperature range is specified for this power supply?
This model is specified for operation from -30°C to 50°C, with load derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve. That range makes it suitable for a broad range of indoor and protected equipment environments, provided the overall application stays within the product's rated conditions. Buyers should confirm their enclosure and ambient conditions match this range.
Does the PLC-100-24 support dimming control?
No, the provided product data lists dimming control as none. If your application requires built-in dimming functionality, this is not the right choice based on the stated specifications. It is better suited where a regulated 24V output (adjustable from 20.4 to 24V) is needed.
