Test conditions and notes13
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE". For DA-Type, Constant Current region is 60%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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)
- 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. 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.
- 13. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
What does the 3-conductor input on the ELG-100-48DA-3Y mean, and where is it used?
The 3Y suffix designates a 3-wire AC input (Line, Neutral, and a green/yellow protective-earth lead), as opposed to the 2-wire input of the standard variants. The sheet recommends connecting the case to PE for complete EMC performance and safe use, so the ELG-100-48DA-3Y suits installations or wiring codes that require an earth connection at the driver.
Can the ELG-100-48DA-3Y be used for DALI-controlled 48V LED strip lighting in a commercial building?
Yes. The ELG-100-48DA-3Y delivers 96W at 48V with a DALI dimming interface, making it suitable for 48V LED strip systems integrated into a DALI building lighting control network. The 3-conductor input is common in commercial installations where a protective-earth connection is required at the driver location.
Is the ELG-100-48DA-3Y rated for outdoor or wet-location use?
Yes. The ELG-100-48DA-3Y carries an IP67 waterproof rating, providing dust and water protection for exposed installations. It is appropriate for outdoor luminaires, facade lighting, and other wet-location LED applications requiring DALI control; follow the IP installation cautions in MEAN WELL's user manual.
How much 48V LED strip can the ELG-100-48DA-3Y power?
The ELG-100-48DA-3Y provides 96W at 48V (2A) on 200–305VAC input (70W on 100–180VAC, e.g. 120VAC). At 96W, a strip rated at 12 W/m allows a maximum run of 8 m per driver; a 6 W/m strip, up to 16 m. Always verify your strip's rated power per meter and apply a derating margin of at least 10%.
Can the ELG-100-48DA-3Y operate across a wide AC input range for international use?
Yes. The ELG-100-48DA-3Y accepts 100–305VAC input, covering both 120V North American and 230V European mains voltages without any manual switching; the rated power is 70W at 100–180VAC and 96W at 200–305VAC. This makes it suitable for multinational installations or products shipped to multiple regions.
Is the ELG-100-48DA-3Y suitable for 48V LED outdoor architectural projects in sub-zero climates?
Yes. The driver is rated down to -40°C case temperature (Tcase), which covers extreme cold-climate outdoor conditions. Combined with IP67 sealing, it is reliable in winter outdoor architectural or landscape lighting applications where moisture and freezing temperatures are present.
