Test conditions and notes13
- 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 cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 7. The DA type power supply is less efficient than the A type power supply by 1%.
- 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. 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-240-48A for a 48V high bay light in a covered commercial space?
Yes, this series is shown for high bay light installation and this driver provides 48V constant voltage + constant current output. It delivers up to 240W and 5A, with a 28.8-48V constant current region.
Is the HBG-240-48A suitable for damp or sheltered outdoor lighting?
The HBG-240 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, which is suitable for water spray and general outdoor exposure. It also has a working case temperature (Tcase) range of -40°C to +75°C for broad environmental tolerance.
Can this model be used for 48V LED signage or display lighting?
Yes, if the lighting load matches the 48V output or the 28.8-48V constant current region. With 240W available, it is positioned for higher-power lighting loads rather than compact low-wattage modules.
Will the HBG-240-48A work with a 48V LED strip run?
Yes, if the strip system matches the 48V output or the 28.8-48V constant current region. The available load is 240W, so the sizing formula is 240W divided by your strip rated power per meter equals the estimated maximum length; check your strip rated power per meter before sizing.
What kind of 48V lighting load is this A version best for?
It is best for larger 48V lighting fixtures that need up to 5A and up to 240W, with output current adjustable from 3 to 5A via the built-in potentiometer. The round Ø191.5mm housing and high bay installation focus make it a practical fit for robust fixture-style lighting products.
How does the HBG-240-48A compare with related HBG models?
In the 48V HBG-240 family, the 240W models HBG-240-48, -48A, -48AB and -48B use a 28.8-48V constant current region, and the HBG-240-48DA uses 33.6-48V. The HBG-240 line also includes 24V, 36V, and 60V versions, in blank, A, AB, B, and DA types.
