Test conditions and notes15

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. BIS IS15885(for 12/12A/12B/12DA/24/24A/24B/24DA/36/36A/36B/42A/42B/48/48A/48B/54A/54B).
14. 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.
15. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

What distinguishes the ELG-200-12A-3Y from the standard ELG-200-12A?

The ELG-200-12A-3Y is the 3-wire input variant of the ELG-200-12A. Both share the same 192W / 12V / 16A output, IP65 rating, potentiometer-adjustable output, and -40°C to +90°C case temperature range. The 3Y version uses a three-conductor AC input cable (AC/N, AC/L and PE), and the sheet advises connecting the case to PE for complete EMC performance and safe use.

Can the ELG-200-12A-3Y power 12V LED strips in an outdoor architectural lighting project?

Yes. The ELG-200-12A-3Y outputs 12V at up to 16A (192W) and carries an IP65 water-resistance rating, making it appropriate for sheltered outdoor architectural lighting. At 192W, a 10W/m LED strip allows approximately 19 meters per driver; check your strip's rated power per meter for an accurate figure.

Is the ELG-200-12A-3Y suitable for use in outdoor enclosures exposed to rain?

The ELG-200-12A-3Y is IP65 rated, protecting it against low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is suitable for weatherproof enclosures, covered outdoor cabinets, and similar installations that may experience rain splash but not submersion.

Can the ELG-200-12A-3Y drive 12V LED strips in a large-format illuminated sign?

Yes. With 192W at 12V and 16A, the ELG-200-12A-3Y can drive substantial LED strip runs inside large-format signs. The adjustable output also allows fine-tuning of brightness to match the specific LED strip load. Always account for derating in high-ambient enclosures.

Does the ELG-200-12A-3Y operate across global mains voltages?

Yes. The ELG-200-12A-3Y accepts 100–305VAC input, covering standard residential and commercial voltages in North America (120V), Europe (230V), and US commercial (277V) without any configuration change. Note that output is rated 144W at 100–180VAC versus 192W at 200–305VAC.

What is the operating temperature range of the ELG-200-12A-3Y?

The ELG-200-12A-3Y is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C. In ambient terms, the 12V model running in constant-current mode at rated current can work up to 50°C, with load derating per the output load vs temperature curve. This covers cold-storage facilities and unheated outdoor enclosures in winter climates.
