Test conditions and notes12
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  3. 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  4. 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. 5. 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)
  6. 6. 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.
  7. 7. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
  8. 8. 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).
  9. 9. 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
  10. 10. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
  11. 11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
  12. 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 I use the HVGC-240-700A for a long-series LED downlight system?

Yes, if the downlight system is built for constant current operation at 700mA and the combined LED forward voltage falls within the 171.4-342.8V constant current range. This model is a 240W constant current driver, so it is aimed at long-series LED loads rather than constant voltage products. It is not intended for LED strips or modules that expect a fixed DC voltage supply.

Is this driver suitable for signage modules with a high total LED voltage?

It can be used for signage modules or lightbox arrays when the LED load is specifically designed for 700mA constant current and the total forward voltage stays within 171.4-342.8V. That voltage range is much higher than common constant voltage signage supplies, so it is mainly relevant to series-connected LED assemblies. The load type matters more than the product category name.

Can the HVGC-240-700A power a series-connected small LED array?

Yes, if the array is a constant current 700mA design and the full array voltage is within the 171.4-342.8V CC range. Because the driver is rated at 240W, it is better suited to higher-voltage series arrays than to low-voltage LED boards. It should be matched to the array's current requirement first, then to total forward voltage.

How do I size LED compatibility for this 700mA constant current driver?

The LED load must require 700mA constant current, and the combined forward voltage must operate within 171.4-342.8V. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so there is no single fixed LED count for this model. Its maximum open-circuit voltage is 354V, while the constant current working range is 171.4-342.8V.

Is the HVGC-240-700A appropriate for outdoor or industrial environments?

The HVGC-240 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, so it is suitable for indoor use and sheltered outdoor locations where resistance to dust and water is needed. It is specified for a working case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at higher temperatures. The wide 180-528VAC input range also helps with varied mains infrastructure.

How does the HVGC-240-700A compare with the other 240W HVGC current options?

The 240W HVGC family includes 700mA at 171.4-342.8V, 1050mA at 114.3-228.6V, 1400mA at 85.7-171.4V, 1750mA at 68.5-137.1V, 2100mA at 57.2-114.3V, 2800mA at 42.9-85.7V, and 3500mA at 34.3-68.6V. The HVGC-240-700A is the highest-voltage, lowest-current option in that 240W group. It is chosen when the LED load needs 700mA across a much higher total forward voltage.
