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 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. 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.
9. 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).
10. 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
11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
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-480-M-AB for medium-voltage LED downlights?

It is intended for constant current LED downlights that need 2100mA and operate within the 92-228.5V CC range. This places it between the higher-current HVGC-480-H-AB and the higher-voltage HVGC-480-L-AB. The fixture load also needs to stay within the 480W rating.

Is the HVGC-480-M-AB suitable for LED signage modules or display lighting?

Yes, it can fit signage modules or similar LED assemblies that are built for 2100mA constant current and have a total forward voltage within 92-228.5V. The series' IP65 or IP67 water-resistant rating supports use in damp or outdoor locations. It should not be used for constant voltage signage systems.

Can this driver power a small LED array with more current than a 1400mA driver?

Yes, the HVGC-480-M-AB is designed for constant current arrays that need 2100mA, which is higher current than the 1400mA HVGC-480-L-AB. Its 92-228.5V range suits medium-voltage arrays rather than the lowest-voltage or highest-voltage builds in the series. The driver is rated at 480W.

How do I know whether my LED load matches the HVGC-480-M-AB?

Your LEDs should require 2100mA constant current, and the combined forward voltage must fall within the 92-228.5V constant current range. The actual number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED, so there is no fixed LED count. Because this is a constant current model, it is not interchangeable with a constant voltage supply.

How does the HVGC-480-M-AB compare with the other 480W AB versions?

The three 480W AB models differ by output current and CC voltage range. The HVGC-480-H-AB is 2800mA with a 68-171.5V range, the HVGC-480-M-AB is 2100mA with a 92-228.5V range, and the HVGC-480-L-AB is 1400mA with a 137-343V range. They are selected by matching the LED current requirement and total forward voltage.
