Test conditions and notes11
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 5. Output voltage can be adjusted through the SVR1 on the PCB ; limit of output constant current level can be adjusted through the SVR2 on the PCB.
- 6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 7. The power supply 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. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 9. 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.
- 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. This product is not suitable for LED lighting applications in China.(It is recommended to use the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series in China)

FAQ
What is the Mean Well PLC-60-48 designed for?
The PLC-60-48 is a 48V, 60W power supply intended for LED lighting and moving sign applications. It uses a constant voltage design with built-in constant current limiting, which makes it suitable for systems that need regulated 48V DC output with added protection behavior.
What are the main electrical ratings of the PLC-60-48?
This model is rated for 48V DC output and 1.3A rated current, with a power rating of 62.4W. It also supports 90-264VAC universal AC input and includes power factor correction, with PF>0.92 at 115VAC and PF>0.9 at 230VAC at full load.
Does the PLC-60-48 support dimming control?
No, the product data for the PLC-60-48 lists dimming control as none. Buyers needing integrated dimming should compare it with other LED driver models that specifically include dimming functions.
Is the PLC-60-48 suitable for demanding operating environments?
The PLC-60-48 is specified for operation from -30°C to 50°C, which supports use across a fairly broad temperature range. It also includes protections for short circuit, over current, over voltage, and over temperature to help support reliable operation.
What protections and compliance-oriented features does this model include?
This model includes short circuit, over current, over voltage (54-60V), and over temperature protection. It carries the LPS marking and is certified to UL1310 and TUV EN61347-1 / EN61347-2-13.
How does the PLC-60-48 differ from a basic 48V power supply?
Compared with a basic 48V supply, the PLC-60-48 adds features aimed at LED applications, including constant current limiting, PFC, and 3.75KVAC input-to-output isolation. It is positioned as a purpose-built Mean Well unit for LED lighting and moving sign use rather than a generic DC source.
What should buyers check for compatibility before choosing the PLC-60-48?
Buyers should confirm their equipment requires a 48V DC output and that the load fits within the model's 1.3A rated current and 62.4W power rating. It is best matched to applications that benefit from a constant voltage supply with built-in constant current limiting rather than models that require onboard dimming control.
