Test conditions and notes13
  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 0.1μf & 47μf parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
  5. 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. 6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  7. 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. 8. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
  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. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf
  12. 12. PLN-30-9 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).
  13. 13. 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

Can I use the PLN-30-20 for a 20V LED sign lighting load?

Yes, for a 20V lighting load that stays within the driver's 30W maximum output. The connected load should also fit the 14-20V constant current range and remain at or below 1.5A.

Is the PLN-30-20 a good match for a small 20V lighted display?

It can suit a small 20V illuminated display where the total load is no more than 30W. This model delivers up to 1.5A, with a 14-20V constant current range.

Can this driver run compact 20V linear lighting?

It can run a compact 20V linear lighting load if the fixture matches the driver's operating characteristics. Verify that the load falls within the 14-20V constant current range and does not exceed 30W or 1.5A.

How much 20V LED strip can the PLN-30-20 support?

Base the estimate on the driver's 30W maximum output: maximum length = 30W divided by your strip's rated watts per meter. That means 30W / strip W per meter = maximum meters, but check your strip rated power per meter and confirm compatibility with 20V and the 1.5A constant current output.

Can the PLN-30-20 be used in outdoor lighting enclosures?

With an IP64 rating, it is protected against dust and splashing water, so it is suitable for many sheltered outdoor enclosures that do not involve water immersion. Working humidity is 20-95% RH non-condensing and the operating temperature range is -30°C to +50°C (see the derating curve).
