Test conditions and notes11
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC 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. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 7. The driver 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.
- 8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 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. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using.

FAQ
Can I use the HVG-480-42AB for a 42V LED strip lighting run in commercial signage?
Yes, if the LED strip or signage system is designed for 42V operation and fits within the driver's 478.8W maximum output. This model provides 42V at up to 11.4A, so it is better suited to higher-power 42V lighting runs than smaller 42V drivers.
Is this driver suitable for 42V architectural or facade lighting?
It can be a fit for 42V architectural lighting where a constant current driver with a 21-42V CC range is required. The IP65 water-resistant housing also makes it more appropriate for exposed outdoor lighting than an indoor-only driver.
Can this power a larger 42V channel letter or illuminated sign project?
It is suited to larger 42V sign lighting loads because it delivers up to 478.8W and 11.4A. Buyers should match it only to 42V sign modules or lighting systems that are compatible with constant current operation.
Will the HVG-480-42AB work for outdoor 42V landscape or perimeter lighting?
It can be used in outdoor lighting applications where IP65 water resistance is acceptable and the fixtures require 42V constant current power. Its operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C also supports demanding ambient conditions.
How much 42V LED strip can this driver support?
Use the power formula: 478.8W divided by your strip's rated watts per meter equals the maximum estimated length. For example, the driver's limit is 478.8W total at 42V and 11.4A, but you should always check your strip rated power per meter and confirm it is a 42V-compatible load.
Is the HVG-480-42AB okay for wet or outdoor locations?
This model is rated IP65, so it is water-resistant and suitable for outdoor or damp locations where protection from dust and water spray is needed. It is not the same as an IP67 waterproof model, so it is better for rain-exposed areas than for places expecting more severe water exposure.
