Test conditions and notes11
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 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 driver 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. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Ta is about 45℃ 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. All functional testing must be filled with potting,including OTP function .

FAQ
What type of output does the Mean Well HBG-160P-36A provide?
The HBG-160P-36A is a 36V model rated for 160W class output, with a listed power rating of 158.4W and rated current of 4.4A. It is designed for constant voltage plus constant current mode operation, which makes it suitable for LED power applications that require stable output behavior.
Is the HBG-160P-36A suitable for outdoor or wet-location use?
The spec sheet does not state an IP rating for this model, so confirm the ingress rating before outdoor or wet-location installation. It is specified for an ambient of -40°C to +45°C (with load derating per the output load vs temperature curve) and 20-95% RH non-condensing.
Does this power supply support output adjustment or dimming?
Output adjustment, yes. As the A-Type, it has a built-in potentiometer that adjusts output current from 2.6A to 4.4A. It has no dimming inputs: 3-in-1 dimming (1-10VDC, 10V PWM, resistance) is on the B-Type, so buyers should match the exact suffix to the control method they need.
What input voltage range does the Mean Well HBG-160P-36A accept?
The HBG-160P-36A accepts a wide 90 to 305VAC input range, and it also lists 127 to 417VDC input capability. That broad range makes it practical for commercial and industrial projects where input conditions may vary across regions or sites.
What operating temperatures can this model handle?
This model is specified for an ambient operating temperature of -40°C to +45°C, with load derating according to the output load vs temperature curve. Storage is rated -40°C to +80°C.
What certifications and compliance standards are listed for this model?
The HBG-160P-36A lists safety approvals including UL8750, CSA C22.2 No. 250.13-12, ENEC BS EN/EN61347-1, BS EN/EN61347-2-13, BS EN/EN62384, GB/T19510.1, GB/T19510.213, and EAC TP TC 004. EMC standards listed include EN55015, EN61000-3-2 Class C, and multiple EN61000-4 immunity standards.
How durable is the Mean Well HBG-160P-36A for long-term use?
The spec sheet states a typical life expectancy of more than 50,000 hours when the ambient is about 45°C or less, and an MTBF of 2612.1K hours min. (Telcordia SR-332). For the warranty, it refers to the statement on MEAN WELL's website. That long service life suits commercial lighting projects where reduced maintenance is important.
