Test conditions and notes8
- 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. Please see "AC input voltage drop vs. output current characteristics" table.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details.
- 5. Constant current operation region is within 60% ~100% rated output voltage. This is the suitable operation region for LED related applications, but please reconfirm special electrical requirements for some specific system design.
- 6. 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)
- 7. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 8. The models certified by CCC (GB/T19510.1, GB/T19510.213, GB/T 17743 and GB17625.1) are optional models. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ
Can I use the PLM-25-700 for a 700mA LED downlight?
Yes, if the downlight needs a constant current driver at 700mA and its LED load stays within the 21-36V constant-current range. This is a constant current model and is not meant for fixed-voltage LED products.
Is the PLM-25-700 a fit for compact LED arrays?
It can be a fit for compact LED arrays that are specified for 700mA constant current operation. The array's total forward voltage must remain within 21-36V, and the driver is rated at 25.2W.
Can this driver be used for constant current signage modules?
Yes, if the signage module assembly is designed around 700mA constant current and the full LED load stays inside the 21-36V CC range. It should not be used where a constant voltage output is required.
What should I check before pairing LEDs with the PLM-25-700?
Check that the LEDs are intended for 700mA constant current operation and that their combined forward voltage falls within 21-36V. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so there is no single fixed LED count for this driver.
Does the PLM-25-700 have any stated operating limits for ambient temperature?
Yes. The specified operating temperature range is -30°C to +45°C, which defines the ambient range given in the product data.
