Diagrams and Operation

Block Diagram

The internal structure of the XLG-200 series includes an EMI Filter and Rectifiers, a PFC Circuit controlled by PFC Control, Power Switching, and a PWM Control. It also features Over Load Protection (OLP), Over Temperature Protection (OTP), Over Current Protection (OCP), and Over Voltage Protection (OVP) circuits, all monitored by a Detection Circuit. The AB type includes DIM+ and DIM- terminals for dimming control.

I-V Operating Area

Graphical representations illustrate the safe operating regions for different models (XLG-200-L, XLG-200-H) based on output voltage and current. These charts define the constant current and constant voltage areas, as well as the hiccup protection zone. A 'Recommend Performance Region' is also indicated for optimal operation.

Dimming Operation (AB-Type)

The 3-in-1 dimming function allows output current adjustment via 0-10VDC, 10V PWM signal, or resistance. Graphs show the relationship between the dimming input (voltage, PWM duty cycle, or resistance) and the output current percentage. It's noted that dimming source current is 100μA (typ.) and direct connection to LEDs is suggested. The minimum dimming level is approximately 8%, and output can drop to 0% under specific dimming conditions.

Output Load vs Temperature

Graphs display the derating of output load based on ambient temperature (Ta) and case temperature (Tc) for different input voltages (110VAC, 230VAC). For constant power mode, the maximum allowable ambient temperature is typically 50°C (for 230VAC input) or 40°C (for 110VAC input).

Static Characteristic

A graph shows the relationship between input voltage and load percentage, indicating the operational range.

Power Factor (PF) Characteristic

A graph illustrates the Power Factor (PF) versus Load percentage at a case temperature of 75°C for different input voltages (115VAC, 230VAC, 277VAC), showing PF values generally above 0.9.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

A graph plots Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) against Load percentage for XLG-200-L models at 75°C case temperature, showing THD levels below 10% for loads above 50%.

Efficiency vs Load

Graphs show the efficiency of the XLG-200 series versus Load percentage for different input voltages (115VAC, 230VAC, 277VAC), highlighting efficiencies up to 94%.

Lifetime

A graph indicates the estimated lifetime in thousands of hours (Kh) based on the case temperature (Tc). The lifetime is shown to be over 100,000 hours for case temperatures up to 60°C, decreasing thereafter.

Mechanical Specification

The LED drivers have a metal casing with dimensions of 199mm (Length) x 63mm (Width) x 35.5mm (Height). Cable specifications are provided for AC input (Blue for N, Brown for L, Green/Yellow for FG) and DC output (Black for V-, Red for V+). For AB-Type models, Purple is for DIM+ and Pink is for DIM-. Cable types include SJOW 17AWGx3C for AC input and SJOW 17AWGx2C or SJOW 14AWGx2C for DC output, with varying lengths (e.g., 300±20mm for AC input, 300±20mm for DC output). The 'tc' point, indicating maximum case temperature, is marked on the casing.

Notes

• All parameters are measured under specific conditions (230VAC input, rated current, 25°C ambient).
• De-rating may be required at low input voltages or high altitudes.
• The driver is a component and requires re-qualification of EMC Directive on the complete installation.
• Meets typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours at a case temperature of 75°C or less.
• For ErP regulation compliance, the driver must be used behind a switch.
