Test conditions and notes12
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. 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.
- 5. It is measured 50% ~ 100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 6. 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)
- 7. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 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. This product is intended for North America and EU lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ
Can the HVGC-100-700A be used for LED downlights that run at 700mA?
Yes, this driver is intended for constant current LED loads at 700mA. It supports a 15-142V constant current range and up to 99.4W, so the downlight or downlight group must stay within those values. It is not a constant voltage power supply.
Is this driver a match for brighter signage modules or compact high-output LED arrays?
It can be a match when the LED assembly is designed for 700mA constant current operation. The available constant current window is 15-142V, with a maximum output of 99.4W, so the total forward voltage and load power must fit those limits. This makes it better aligned with 700mA LED arrays than the 350mA versions.
Can I use the HVGC-100-700A for constant current LED modules instead of constant voltage strips?
Yes, it is specifically a constant current driver and is intended for LED modules that require 700mA. A constant voltage strip expects a fixed voltage source, which is a different operating mode. For this model, the connected LED load must fall within the 15-142V constant current range.
How do I size an LED load for the HVGC-100-700A?
The load must be specified for 700mA constant current, and its total forward voltage must be between 15V and 142V. The number of LEDs cannot be given as one fixed value because it depends on the forward voltage of each LED. Total load also needs to remain within 99.4W.
Is the HVGC-100-700A suitable for outdoor or temperature-variable locations?
The HVGC-100 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, and with waterproof connectors on its cables it can be used in dry, wet, damp or outdoor environments. It is specified for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating per the output load vs temperature curve.
