Test conditions and notes13
- 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 power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 5. Current ripple is measured between 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. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
- 13. 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 I use the HVGC-150-700A for constant current LED downlights?
Yes, if the fixture is designed for a 700mA constant current driver and the total LED forward voltage falls within 21-215V. This is not a constant voltage power supply, so it should be matched to constant current LED downlights only.
Is the HVGC-150-700A a good match for LED signage modules?
It can be used for signage modules that are built as a constant current load at 700mA. The full LED string must stay within the 21-215V constant current range, and the total power must remain within 150.5W.
Can this driver power small LED arrays in commercial lighting?
Yes, it is suitable for small LED arrays that need 700mA constant current and fit inside the 21-215V output window. With a 150.5W rating, it is intended for higher-power constant current LED assemblies rather than low-voltage constant voltage strips.
What should I check before pairing the HVGC-150-700A with an LED module?
Check that the LED module or array requires 700mA constant current and that its total forward voltage is between 21V and 215V. The final number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so compatibility is based on total series voltage, not a fixed LED count.
Can the HVGC-150-700A be used in damp or industrial environments?
The HVGC-150 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, so it is suited to locations where protection from dust and water is needed, and it works at a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +80°C with output load derated at higher temperatures. A-type units need to be considered for built-in use to comply with UL8750 Type HL.
