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-480-24A for long 24V LED strip runs in commercial signage?
Yes, it is sized for 24V signage or lighting loads up to 480W total. With a 24V output and 20A output current, it fits higher-power 24V strip lighting as long as the full connected load stays within 480W.
Is this driver suitable for 24V architectural or cove lighting projects?
It can be used for 24V architectural lighting where the total fixture load does not exceed 480W. The 24V output makes it appropriate for 24V lighting products, and the IP65 water-resistant housing helps where the driver may be exposed to dust or moisture.
Can this power supply run multiple 24V LED lighting sections from one driver?
It can support larger 24V lighting loads because it provides up to 480W and 20A. That makes it a fit for multi-section 24V lighting systems when the combined rated load remains at or below 480W.
How much 24V LED strip can the HVG-480-24A power?
Use the strip's rated power per meter and divide 480W by that number to estimate the maximum length. The math is: maximum strip length = 480W / strip watts per meter, and you should also make sure the strip is a 24V product and that the total load does not exceed 20A.
Is the HVG-480-24A okay for outdoor or wet-location lighting?
This model is rated IP65 water-resistant, so it is intended for environments where protection from water exposure and dust is needed. If your project needs a waterproof version in this power and voltage class, the sibling HVG-480-24B is the IP67 model.
