Test conditions and notes12
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. 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.
- 5. It is measured 50% ~ 100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 6. 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)
- 7. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 10. 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).
- 11. 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
- 12. This product is intended for North America and EU lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ
Can I use the HVGC-100-350A for LED downlights that need a constant current driver?
Yes, this model is a constant current LED driver with a 350mA output and a 29-285V constant current range. It is suited to LED downlights built around a 350mA drive current, as long as the full LED load stays within 29-285V and 99.75W. It is not a constant voltage driver.
Is the HVGC-100-350A suitable for powering a long string of signage LEDs or small LED arrays?
It can work for signage modules or small LED arrays that are designed for constant current operation at 350mA. The available constant current range is 29-285V, so the total forward voltage of the LED load must fall inside that window and stay within 99.75W. Whether it supports a short or long series string depends on each LED's forward voltage.
Can this driver be used in outdoor or damp locations?
The HVGC-100 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, and with waterproof connectors on its cables it can operate in dry, wet, damp or outdoor environments. It is specified for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at higher temperatures. For harsher washdown or full-submersion exposure, the IP rating should be reviewed carefully against the site conditions.
Will the HVGC-100-350A work for custom LED arrays where the LED count may vary?
Yes, if the array is a constant current design that requires 350mA and the total LED forward voltage falls within 29-285V. The exact number of LEDs cannot be fixed from the driver alone because it depends on the forward voltage of each LED in the array. This is a constant current unit, so it should be matched to LED loads that are specified that way rather than constant voltage loads.
What is the difference between the HVGC-100-350A and the other HVGC-100 current options?
Within the HVGC-100 family, the 350mA versions are rated at 99.75W with a 29-285V constant current range, while the 700mA versions are rated at 99.4W with a 15-142V constant current range. The A, AB, and B versions keep those same electrical ratings within each current group. The A version adds potentiometer current adjustment, B adds 3-in-1 dimming, and AB has both.
