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 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.

FAQ
Can the HVG-240-30AB power a 30V LED strip or linear lighting project?
It can power compatible 30V lighting loads with up to 240W available and a maximum output of 8A. The driver's constant current voltage range is 15-30V, so the load needs to fall within that operating window. Check the product requirements before using it with a 30V strip or fixture.
Is this a good option for 30V sign or display lighting?
For 30V signage or display lighting loads, the driver offers 240W total output at 30V and up to 8A. Its wide 180-528VAC input range also supports projects with varied AC supply conditions. The sign load still has to be compatible with the 15-30V constant current range.
Can I use the HVG-240-30AB for exterior-rated 30V lighting where the driver is sheltered?
Yes, the IP65/IP67 rating makes it suitable for protected outdoor or damp locations, unlike an indoor-only unit. It is specified for a -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range, which supports demanding temperature conditions. The connected 30V lighting load must remain within 240W and 8A.
How do I estimate the maximum 30V LED strip length for this driver?
Use the driver's 240W rating as the total available power and divide it by the strip wattage per meter. The math is 240W / watts per meter = maximum meters, with an 8A limit at 30V. Check your strip rated power per meter before sizing the run.
Is the HVG-240-30AB waterproof?
It is rated IP65/IP67, which makes it suitable for exposure to dust and water. Confirm the IP rating of the exact unit, as the sheet lists the series as IP65 or IP67. Its -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range supports tougher environments.
How does the HVG-240-30AB compare with the other 30V 240W versions?
The HVG-240-30A, HVG-240-30AB, and HVG-240-30B all share 240W, 30V, and 8A ratings. The A version is adjustable, the AB version is adjustable and dimmable, and the B version is dimmable. Adjustment is via the built-in potentiometer on the A and AB.
