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.
- 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. This product is not suitable for LED lighting applications in China.(It is recommended to use the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series in China)

FAQ
What is the Mean Well PLC-60-20 designed for?
The Mean Well PLC-60-20 is a 60W power supply intended for LED lighting and moving sign applications. It combines constant voltage operation with built-in constant current limiting, which makes it suited to applications that need stable 20V DC output with added protection behavior.
What are the main output specifications of the PLC-60-20?
This model is rated for 60W total output power with a 20V DC output and 3.0A rated current. It also includes adjustable output voltage and current level settings, which can help match the supply more closely to the application requirements.
Does the PLC-60-20 include power factor correction?
Yes. The PLC-60-20 has built-in PFC, with PF>0.92 at 115VAC and PF>0.9 at 230VAC at full load. That is a useful differentiator for commercial and lighting projects where power quality matters.
What protection features are built into the Mean Well PLC-60-20?
This model includes protection for short circuit, over current, over voltage, and over temperature. It also carries the LPS marking and is certified to UL1310 and TUV EN61347-1 / EN61347-2-13, which supports use in applications where safety compliance is an important buying consideration.
What operating environment is the PLC-60-20 rated for?
The specified operating temperature range is -30°C to 50°C, with load derating according to the derating curve. It is rated for 20-95% RH non-condensing working humidity.
Does the PLC-60-20 support dimming control?
No. The listed dimming control for this model is none. If a project requires built-in dimming functionality, this specific model may not be the right fit.
