Test conditions and notes10
- 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. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 6. 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)
- 7. Heat Sink HS1,HS2 can not be shorted.
- 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 power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)

FAQ
What is the Mean Well PLP-30-12 used for?
The Mean Well PLP-30-12 is a 30W single-output LED power supply designed as a component for installation in LED lighting fixtures and equipment. It provides a 12V output and is suited to commercial or OEM use where a compact 101.6 x 50.8 x 26.6mm power unit is needed.
What are the main electrical ratings of the PLP-30-12?
This model is rated for 30W total output power with a 12V output and 2.5A rated current. It accepts a universal AC input range of 90 to 264VAC and also supports 127 to 370VDC input.
Is the PLP-30-12 dimmable?
No dimming function is listed on the datasheet for the PLP-30-12. Its output current can only be set within the 1.875 to 2.5A adjustment range rather than by integrated dimming control.
Does the PLP-30-12 include protection features?
Yes, this model includes protection for short circuit, over current and over voltage (15 to 18V) conditions. These built-in protections help support reliability in LED lighting applications.
Can the output current be adjusted on the PLP-30-12?
Yes, the output current level is adjustable on this model. The listed adjustment range is 1.875 to 2.5A, which is 75% to 100% of rated current.
What operating temperatures can the PLP-30-12 handle?
The PLP-30-12 is specified for operation from -30°C to 70°C, with load derating at higher ambient temperatures according to the derating curve. That range makes it suitable for a wide variety of indoor equipment and enclosed lighting applications, provided the overall system is designed within the product limits.
How does the PLP-30-12 support long-term reliability?
This model features PFC (PF>0.9 at 75 to 100% load) and over current, short circuit and over voltage protection. Mean Well lists an MTBF of 580.9K hours min. under MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C, and 5126.3K hours min. under Telcordia SR-332.
