Test conditions and notes10
  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. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  6. 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. 7. Heat Sink HS1,HS2 can not be shorted.
  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 power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)

FAQ

What is the Mean Well PLP-30-12 used for?

The Mean Well PLP-30-12 is a 30W single-output LED power supply designed as a component for installation in LED lighting fixtures and equipment. It provides a 12V output and is suited to commercial or OEM use where a compact 101.6 x 50.8 x 26.6mm power unit is needed.

What are the main electrical ratings of the PLP-30-12?

This model is rated for 30W total output power with a 12V output and 2.5A rated current. It accepts a universal AC input range of 90 to 264VAC and also supports 127 to 370VDC input.

Is the PLP-30-12 dimmable?

No dimming function is listed on the datasheet for the PLP-30-12. Its output current can only be set within the 1.875 to 2.5A adjustment range rather than by integrated dimming control.

Does the PLP-30-12 include protection features?

Yes, this model includes protection for short circuit, over current and over voltage (15 to 18V) conditions. These built-in protections help support reliability in LED lighting applications.

Can the output current be adjusted on the PLP-30-12?

Yes, the output current level is adjustable on this model. The listed adjustment range is 1.875 to 2.5A, which is 75% to 100% of rated current.

What operating temperatures can the PLP-30-12 handle?

The PLP-30-12 is specified for operation from -30°C to 70°C, with load derating at higher ambient temperatures according to the derating curve. That range makes it suitable for a wide variety of indoor equipment and enclosed lighting applications, provided the overall system is designed within the product limits.

How does the PLP-30-12 support long-term reliability?

This model features PFC (PF>0.9 at 75 to 100% load) and over current, short circuit and over voltage protection. Mean Well lists an MTBF of 580.9K hours min. under MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C, and 5126.3K hours min. under Telcordia SR-332.
