Test conditions and notes11
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  5. 5. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
  6. 6. This is the maximum possible output current and power. Over load protection may be activated slightly below this level to comply with the requirement of UL1310 class 2.
  7. 7. Safety and EMC design refer to BS EN/EN60598-1, subject 8750(UL), CNS15233, GB7000.1, FCC part18.
  8. 8. 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)
  9. 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. 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. 11. PLC-100-12 is used for any light source that exempt from the ErP-Directive (EU) 2019/2020 requirement, for example this model could be use for signalling products (including, but not limited to road-, railway-, marineorair traffic-signalling , traffic control or airfield lamps).

FAQ

What is the Mean Well PLC-100-27 used for?

The PLC-100-27 is a 100W AC/DC power supply designed for LED lighting and moving sign applications. It provides a 27V output and includes a built-in constant current limiting circuit in C.V.+C.C. mode, which makes it suitable for applications that need stable DC output from a dedicated LED power supply.

What are the main electrical ratings of the PLC-100-27?

This model is rated at 95.85W with a 27V output and a rated current of 3.55A. It also has a built-in PFC circuit (PF>0.95 at full load) and a typical efficiency of 88%, according to the datasheet.

Does the Mean Well PLC-100-27 support dimming?

No. The listed dimming control for this model is none, so it is not presented as a dimmable power supply in the provided specifications. Buyers needing integrated dimming should compare it against other models with a stated dimming interface.

Can the PLC-100-27 be used in demanding temperature conditions?

This power supply is specified for operation from -30°C to 50°C, with output derating at higher ambient temperatures per the datasheet's derating curve. That range makes it suitable for a variety of commercial and industrial environments, provided the application stays within the stated ambient limits.

What protection features are included in the PLC-100-27?

The datasheet lists over current protection (constant current limiting, auto-recovery), over voltage protection (latch off, re-power to recover) and over temperature protection. It is also designed to UL1310 Class 2 requirements and carries the LPS mark, which can matter for buyers evaluating protection and compliance-related characteristics.

Is this model a good fit when adjustable output is needed?

Yes, this model is described as having adjustable output voltage and current level. For buyers comparing fixed-output versus adjustable-output units, that makes the PLC-100-27 more flexible within applications that require some output tuning while staying with this specific 27V model.
