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-60-36?

The PLC-60-36 is a 60W class power supply with a 36V DC output and a rated current of 1.7A. It uses a constant-voltage design with built-in constant-current limiting and a 25.2-36V constant current region for driving LEDs. This makes it suitable for applications that need stable 36V output with added current-limiting behavior.

What applications is the PLC-60-36 commonly used for?

This model is intended for LED lighting and moving sign applications, in line with its design as an LED power supply. Its 36V output and built-in PFC make it a practical choice for commercial and industrial low-voltage lighting systems. Buyers typically consider it when they need a regulated 36V power supply from a recognized industrial brand.

Does the Mean Well PLC-60-36 include power factor correction?

Yes. The PLC-60-36 has built-in PFC, with PF>0.92 at 115VAC and PF>0.9 at 230VAC at full load according to the datasheet. That is a useful differentiator for buyers comparing it with basic non-PFC power supplies for commercial lighting projects.

Can the output on the PLC-60-36 be adjusted?

Yes. The datasheet states that output voltage (32.5-39V, via SVR1) and the constant current level (1.275-1.751A, via SVR2) are adjustable on the PCB. That gives buyers some flexibility when selecting the PLC-60-36 for systems that need fine-tuning within the product's intended operating range.

What operating temperatures can the PLC-60-36 handle?

The specified operating temperature range is -30°C to 50°C. That range supports use in a variety of indoor and protected commercial environments where low-voltage LED power supplies are used. Buyers should still confirm that the surrounding enclosure and overall system conditions stay within the product's rated limits.

Does the PLC-60-36 support dimming control?

No. The provided product data lists dimming control as none for the PLC-60-36. If a project requires integrated dimming, this model would generally be compared against other LED drivers or power supplies that explicitly include dimming functionality.
