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. 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. 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. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 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. 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. 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. The models certified by CCC (GB/T19510.1, GB/T19510.213, GB/T 17743 and GB17625.1) are optional models. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ
Can I use the HVGC-320-3500B for outdoor LED downlights?
Yes, if the downlight load is a constant current design at 3500mA and stays within the 45.7-91.4V CC range. The HVGC-320 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, which suits it to locations where ingress protection is required.
Is this driver appropriate for waterproof signage lighting systems?
It can be used where the signage load is built for 3500mA constant current and falls within the 45.7-91.4V constant current range. This model is not for constant voltage signage modules, and the series' IP65 or IP67 approval helps where water protection is important.
Will the HVGC-320-3500B work with a compact high-output LED array?
Yes, for a compact array that needs 3500mA constant current and has a total forward voltage within 45.7-91.4V. With a 320W output rating, it is intended for substantial LED loads rather than low-power arrays.
How do I size an LED load for this constant current driver?
The LED system must be rated for 3500mA constant current, and the total forward voltage must land inside the 45.7-91.4V CC output range. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so the correct sizing method is voltage-range matching rather than choosing a fixed LED count.
What is the main difference between the HVGC-320-3500A, AB, and B versions?
All three versions are 320W, 3500mA constant current drivers with a 45.7-91.4V CC range, 94V max. open-circuit voltage, 180-528VAC input, 262 x 90 x 43.8 mm dimensions, 2.0 kg weight, and -40°C to +90°C case temperature rating. The key difference is function: the A version is adjustable via a built-in potentiometer, the AB version is adjustable and 3-in-1 dimmable, and the B version is 3-in-1 dimmable.
