NOTE
- All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25°C of ambient temperature.
- Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12″ twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0. 1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 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.
- Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
- The power supply is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since MC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify MC Directive on the complete installation again.
- Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- To fulfill requirements of the latest Er regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- The ambient temperature derating of 3.5°C/1000m with fanless models and of 5°C/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft.
- PLC-30-9 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). - Product Liability Disclaimer: For detailed information, please refer to httos://www.meanwell.com/serviceDisclaimer.aspx File Name:PLC-30-SPEC 2021-12-

EFFICIENCY VS LOAD (48V Model)
- PLC-30 series possess superior working efficiency that up to 85.5% can be reached in field applications.
DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE
This LED power supply is suggested to work in constant current mode area (CC) to drive the LEDs.
- In the constant current region, the highest voltage at the output of the driver depends on the configuration of the end systems.
- Should there be any compatibility issues, please contact MEAN WELL.
