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 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. (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 75℃ 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-150-42AB for dimmable 42V LED signage?

Yes, if the sign lighting is designed for 42V constant current operation within the 23.1~42V range. The driver is rated for up to 150.36W and 3.58A, so the total connected load has to stay within those numbers.

Is this a good fit for a 42V LED strip display with adjustable light output?

It is intended for 42V constant current lighting loads and includes adjustable and dimmable functionality. For compatibility, the strip or fixture must operate within 23.1~42V and not exceed 3.58A or 150.36W.

Can the HVG-150-42AB be used for commercial linear lighting?

Yes, for linear lighting systems that are built for constant current operation in the 23.1~42V range. Its 150.36W output, metal housing, and -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range make it appropriate for demanding commercial lighting applications.

Can this driver be used in damp or outdoor lighting locations?

The IP65 rating supports use in outdoor and damp environments where protection from water exposure is needed. It is better suited to protected exterior or wet-area installations than fully exposed submersion conditions.

How do I estimate the maximum LED strip length for this 42V 150.36W driver?

Use the driver's maximum power of 150.36W and divide it by the strip wattage per meter. For example, if your strip uses 12W per meter, 150.36 ÷ 12 = 12.53 meters; check your strip rated power per meter and verify that the strip is designed for 42V constant current use.

How does the HVG-150-42AB compare with other 42V models in the HVG series?

The HVG-150-42AB is rated at 150.36W, 42V, and 3.58A. Other 42V siblings are HVG-100-42A/AB/B at 95.76W and 2.28A, HVG-240-42A/AB/B at 239.4W and 5.7A, HVG-320-42A/AB/B at 319.2W and 7.6A, and HVG-480-42A/AB/B at 478.8W and 11.4A.
