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 do the A and B suffixes together mean on the ELG-240-54AB?
The AB suffix combines adjustable output (A) with three-in-one dimming (B). This means the output voltage (50–57V) and current (2.23–4.45A) can be set via a built-in potentiometer, and the driver also accepts 0–10VDC, 10V PWM signal, or resistance dimming input for dynamic brightness control during operation.
Can the ELG-240-54AB be used outdoors in a location exposed to rain?
The ELG-240 series is rated IP65 or IP67, which protects against dust and water jets; only IP67 covers temporary immersion. It is suitable for sheltered outdoor luminaires and enclosed signage cabinets but should not be mounted in locations where it will be directly submerged.
Can the ELG-240-54AB drive 54V LED strips for retail display lighting with dimming?
Yes. At 240.3W and 54V (180.36W on 100–180VAC input), it can power a significant run of 54V LED strip, and the built-in three-in-one dimming allows brightness adjustment via a 0–10V control signal typical in retail lighting control systems. A 54V strip at 18W per meter would support approximately 13 meters per driver.
Is the ELG-240-54AB appropriate for landscape lighting with a DMX or 0–10V controller?
With a 0–10V controller, yes. The B-type dimming interface accepts a 0–10VDC input, which works with 0–10V landscape lighting controllers; DMX is not among its listed dimming inputs (0–10VDC, 10V PWM, resistance). The IP65/IP67 rating provides protection for enclosed outdoor fixtures in most landscape applications.
How much LED strip can the ELG-240-54AB support at 54V?
The ELG-240-54AB outputs 240.3W at 54V and 4.45A on 200–305VAC input (180.36W on 100–180VAC). At 20W per meter of strip that is approximately 12 meters; at 12W per meter it is around 20 meters. Check your strip's rated power per meter and do not exceed the rated load for your input voltage.
Can the ELG-240-54AB be used in stage or theatrical LED lighting with a dimmer board?
Yes, if the control system outputs one of its three dimming signals: 0–10VDC, 10V PWM (100Hz–3KHz) or resistance. The minimum dimming level is about 8%, and output current is not defined between 0% and 8%. At 240.3W it provides enough capacity for a large panel or strip fixture running on 54V.
