Test conditions and notes12
  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 0.1uf & 47uf 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. 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-45-15 for a 15V LED strip lighting project?

Yes, if the LED strip system is rated for 15V and its total load stays within 45W and 3A. This model provides 15V output, with a constant current range of 11.25-15V, so you should also confirm the strip's electrical requirements match the driver.

Is the PLN-45-15 suitable for 15V illuminated signage or sign box lighting?

It can be a fit for 15V signage loads that stay within 45W maximum output and 3A output current. The IP64 enclosure helps where dust or splashing water may be present.

Can this driver be used for 15V accent or display lighting in semi-exposed locations?

Yes, for 15V lighting loads that do not exceed 45W and 3A. Its IP64 rating and operating temperature range of -30°C to +50°C make it better suited to damp or dusty locations than an open-frame indoor-only supply.

How much 15V LED strip can the PLN-45-15 run?

The maximum available power is 45W. To estimate strip length, divide 45W by your strip's rated power per meter, then verify the strip is a 15V product and that its current draw does not exceed 3A; check your strip rated power per meter.

Is the PLN-45-15 okay for outdoor or wet-area use?

It is rated IP64, so it is suitable for environments with dust exposure and splashing water. It is not described as submersible, and the specified operating temperature range is -30°C to +50°C.
