Test conditions and notes13

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 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 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. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf
12. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
13. This product is intended for North America lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ

Can I use the HVG-100-42A for 42V LED signage or channel lighting?

Yes, it can fit 42V LED signage loads that operate within its 21-42V constant-current range. The maximum output is 95.76W at 42V and 2.28A, so the connected lighting load needs to remain within those limits.

Is the HVG-100-42A suitable for 42V linear or architectural lighting?

It is suitable for 42V constant-current linear or architectural lighting products that match the 21-42V CC range. With 95.76W output capacity and a -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range, it is built for demanding lighting applications when the fixture specs align.

Can this driver be used for a 42V LED strip lighting system?

It can be used for a 42V LED strip system if the strip is compatible with a 42V constant-current driver and the total load stays within 95.76W. The current limit is 2.28A, so that number also has to match the strip or lighting assembly.

How much 42V LED strip can the HVG-100-42A support?

The maximum strip load is 95.76W total. To estimate possible length, divide 95.76W by your strip's rated power per meter; check your strip rated power per meter and confirm that the strip is designed for 42V constant-current operation.

Can the HVG-100-42A be used outdoors?

The HVG-100 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, and with a waterproof connector on the output cable it is suitable for outdoor and damp lighting locations. It is also rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, which supports use across a wide range of conditions.
