Test conditions and notes13
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  3. 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. 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  5. 5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  6. 6. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
  7. 7. The DA type power supply is less efficient than the typical efficiency in specification by 1%.
  8. 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. 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. 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
  11. 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. 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. 13. For A/AB type need to consider build-in using or filling the Io adjusting hole with the potting compound to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can I use the HBG-160-48A for a 48V high bay LED fixture?

Yes, this constant voltage + constant current driver has a 28.8-48V CC range and 3.3A output, and the sheet shows high bay light installations. Its 158.4W power rating also fits higher-output industrial fixtures that need a 48V-class driver.

Is the HBG-160-48A suitable for 48V LED signage or large channel-letter lighting?

It can be suitable for larger 48V LED signage loads if the sign lighting system runs at 48V or as a constant current load in the 28.8-48V range. The driver can supply up to 158.4W at 3.3A, so it is better matched to higher-power signage assemblies than small sign modules.

Can this driver power a 48V architectural lighting fixture outdoors?

It can be used for outdoor architectural lighting fixtures when the fixture is compatible with this 48V driver and the installation does not require more than IP65 water resistance. The -40°C to +85°C case temperature (Tcase) range also supports demanding conditions, with output derating at higher temperatures.

How much 48V LED strip can the HBG-160-48A support?

The maximum output power is 158.4W, so estimated strip length is 158.4W divided by your strip wattage per meter. For example, the math is 158.4W / watts per meter = maximum meters. Check your strip rated power per meter and confirm the strip is a 48V product that suits this constant voltage + constant current driver.

Is the HBG-160-48A OK for wet or outdoor locations?

This model is rated IP65 water-resistant, so it is suited to outdoor or damp locations where the driver needs protection against dust and water spray. It is not the higher IP67 version, so use it where water exposure is controlled rather than where full waterproof protection is needed.

What is the difference between the HBG-160 24V, 36V, 48V, and 60V versions?

In the HBG-160 series, the 24V versions are 156W with a 14.4-24V CC range at 6.5A, the 36V versions are 158.4W with a 21.6-36V CC range at 4.4A, the 48V versions are 158.4W with a 28.8-48V CC range at 3.3A, and the 60V versions are 156W with a 36-60V CC range at 2.6A. The HBG-160-48A is the adjustable 48V model in that group.
