Test conditions and notes11

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
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. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
5. Output voltage can be adjusted through the SVR1 on the PCB ; limit of output constant current level can be adjusted through the SVR2 on the PCB.
6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
7. 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)
8. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
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.

FAQ

What type of power supply is the Mean Well PLC-45-36?

The PLC-45-36 is a 45W AC/DC power supply with a 36V output. It uses a constant voltage design with built-in constant current limiting and includes active power factor correction. This model is intended for applications that need a regulated 36V DC output.

What is the output rating of the PLC-45-36?

This model is rated for 36V DC output at 1.25A, with a total power rating of 45W. Those ratings make it suitable for loads designed to operate within that voltage and current range. Buyers should match the load requirement to the unit's 36V, 1.25A capacity.

Is the PLC-45-36 suitable for LED lighting applications?

Yes, this 45W LED power supply suits LED lighting and moving sign applications. Its constant voltage output with built-in current limiting can be useful in systems that require a stable 36V DC supply. It is positioned as a power solution for commercial and industrial lighting-related use cases.

Does the Mean Well PLC-45-36 support dimming control?

No, the PLC-45-36 does not include a dimming control function. If a project requires integrated dimming, this model may not be the right fit. It is better suited to applications needing fixed-output 36V DC power.

What operating environment is the PLC-45-36 designed for?

The specified operating temperature range is -30°C to 50°C, with load derating per the datasheet's derating curve. It includes protections for short circuit, over current, over voltage, and over temperature. These characteristics make it appropriate for demanding indoor equipment environments within its rated temperature limits.

What are the key protection and performance features of the PLC-45-36?

The PLC-45-36 includes protection for short circuit, over current, over voltage, and over temperature. It also features active PFC, with PF above 0.92 at 115VAC and above 0.9 at 230VAC at full load, and a typical efficiency of 87.5%. These features help distinguish it from more basic fixed-output power supplies.
