Test conditions and notes14
- 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".
- 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. No load/standby power consumption is specified for 230VAC input.
- 8. 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)
- 9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70℃ or less.
- 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 11. 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).
- 12. 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
- 13. 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.
- 14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
What does the A suffix mean on the ELG-240-54A?
The A suffix indicates the output voltage (50–57V) and current (2.23–4.45A) are adjustable via a built-in potentiometer. This allows the installer to trim the output within the specified range without external dimming control equipment.
Can the ELG-240-54A be used in outdoor signage where only moderate moisture protection is needed?
Yes. The ELG-240 series carries an IP65 or IP67 rating, which means it is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. It is suitable for enclosed outdoor signage and covered exterior luminaires, but should not be installed where it may be submerged.
How many meters of 54V LED strip can the ELG-240-54A drive?
The ELG-240-54A provides 240.3W at 54V and 4.45A on 200–305VAC input (180.36W on 100–180VAC). At a strip power density of 20W per meter, that supports up to about 12 meters; at 15W per meter it is approximately 16 meters. Always check your strip's rated wattage per meter and keep total load within the rating for your input voltage.
Is the ELG-240-54A suitable for LED cove lighting in a hospitality environment?
Yes. The adjustable output allows fine-tuning of brightness during commissioning, which is useful in hospitality environments where designers specify a precise light level. At 240.3W and 54V, it can drive a substantial LED cove installation from a single unit.
Can the ELG-240-54A operate from 277V input used in North American commercial buildings?
Yes. The input range of 100–305VAC covers 277V, which is common in North American commercial and industrial branch circuits. This allows the ELG-240-54A to be used directly without a step-down transformer.
What certifications does the ELG-240-54A hold?
The datasheet lists UL8750 and CSA C22.2 No. 250.13-12, IEC/BS EN/EN/AS/NZS 61347-1 and 61347-2-13, EN62384, EAC TP TC 004, BIS IS15885, GB/T19510 and KC standards, covering North America, the UK and Europe, Australia/New Zealand, the Eurasian Economic Union, India, China and South Korea.
