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-480-36B for outdoor 36V sign lighting?

Yes, if the sign lighting is designed for 36V and the total load stays within 478.8W and 13.3A. Its IP67 Waterproof rating makes it the outdoor-focused 36V option in this group.

Is the HVG-480-36B suitable for 36V LED strip or linear lighting around a building exterior?

It is suitable for exterior 36V lighting loads when the system matches the 18-36V CC range and stays below 478.8W. That makes it a practical choice for larger 36V perimeter or facade lighting loads.

Can this driver be used with high-voltage AC service for commercial outdoor lighting?

Yes. The 180-528VAC input range allows it to work with a broad range of commercial AC supplies for outdoor lighting applications.

How do I size 36V LED strip length with the HVG-480-36B?

Use 478.8W as the maximum available output. Maximum strip length = 478.8W divided by your strip's rated watts per meter, and check your strip rated power per meter before sizing.

Is the HVG-480-36B better for wet locations than the 36A or 36AB versions?

For ingress protection, yes. The HVG-480-36B is IP67 Waterproof, while the HVG-480-36A and HVG-480-36AB are IP65 Water-Resistant, and all three share the same 478.8W, 36V, and 13.3A output ratings.

Can the HVG-480-36B handle harsh temperature conditions outdoors?

It is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation, which supports both cold-weather and high-heat environments. Combined with the IP67 Waterproof rating, it is suited to demanding outdoor lighting conditions.
