Class 2 Power Supplies target LED lighting applications.
Press Release Summary:
Measuring 181.5 x 62 x 35 mm, 45 Watt Series PLC-45 features terminal block style I/O connection and fully enclosed plastic case with 2 small holes on top that allow users to adjust output current or voltage without removing cover. Single-stage PFC topology enables efficiency as high as 87.5% and operation from -30 to 50°C by free air convection only. In addition to CC+CV mode output style, power supplies include short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature protections.
Original Press Release:
PLC-45 Series (45W Class 2 LED Power Supply)
After successful launching PLC-30(30W), PLC-60(60W) and PLC-100(96W) series, MEAN WELL added the new PLC-45 (45W) series to this LED power supply family for the emerging demand of LED lighting / decorative lighting applications. Until now, the PLC family designed with plastic cases plus terminal block style of I/O connection is able to offer user different wattage level from 30W to 96W.
Modified from the existing plastic case of PLN-45, the PLC-45 series are designed to have terminal block style of I/O connection instead of wires, which provides more flexibility to the wiring job. Meanwhile, the cover of PLC-45 have two small holes with rubber stoppers on top that users can adjust the output current or voltage easily without removing the covers. In addition, this series are limited power sources complying with UL 1310 class 2 that under any situation the output power will less than 100VA or 5A. This will significantly reduce the hazardous condition exposed to the technicians who execute the construction or maintenance of the LED lighting system.
Thanks to the leading edge single-stage PFC topology, the efficiency of PLC-45 are as high as 87.5% and hence can operate between -30 ~ +50°C by only free air convection. Building in active PFC function, the PLC family complies with the limitation of harmonic current of lighting equipment per EN61000-3-2 Class C for 75% of output load or higher. Besides, the power factor (PF) value will higher than 0.9 also when the output loading is 75% or higher. Other characteristics include CC+CV mode output style and short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature protections. PLC-45 series also comply with global safety certificates per TUV, UL, CUL and CE, including EN61347-1, EN61347-2-13, UL1310 Class 2 for LED lighting / sign board related installations. Typical applications for these new Class 2 power units are all kinds of indoor LED lighting, LED-based decorative lighting, LED indoor commercial lighting, LED stage and theater lighting, and LED electronic displays...etc.
