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. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
5. Output voltage can be adjusted through the SVR1 on the PCB ; limit of output constant current level can be adjusted through the SVR2 on the PCB.
6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
7. 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)
8. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
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. This product is not suitable for LED lighting applications in China.(It is recommended to use the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series in China)

FAQ

What is the Mean Well PLC-60-12 used for?

The PLC-60-12 is a 60W 12V LED power supply designed for LED lighting and moving sign applications. It is intended for buyers who need a 12V DC output with constant current capability from a 90-264VAC universal AC input.

What are the key electrical ratings of the PLC-60-12?

This model is rated for 60W output power with a 12V DC output and 5A rated current. It also includes power factor correction (PF>0.92 at 115VAC, PF>0.9 at 230VAC at full load) and has a typical efficiency of 86%.

Does the PLC-60-12 support dimming control?

No, this model does not include a dimming control function. It is better suited to applications that need a fixed 12V output rather than integrated dimming capability.

Is the PLC-60-12 suitable for environments with temperature variation?

The PLC-60-12 is specified for operation from -30°C to 50°C. That makes it appropriate for indoor or protected applications where those ambient temperature limits are maintained.

What protections are built into the PLC-60-12?

This model includes protection against short circuit, over current, over voltage, and over temperature. Those built-in safeguards help protect the power supply during abnormal operating conditions.

How does the PLC-60-12 differ from a basic 12V power supply?

The PLC-60-12 adds features such as PFC, adjustable output voltage and current level (via SVR1 and SVR2 on the PCB), and constant current limiting with an 8.4-12V constant current region for driving LEDs. It is positioned for LED-related applications where those characteristics can matter more than with a basic fixed-output supply.
