MEAN WELL Makes Additions to its AC-DC Product Line

MEAN WELL Enterprises Co. Ltd. debuted two new special product series to its ac-dc product line – CLG-100 and PLN-100 series–60~96W enclosed type switching power supply with active PFC function for the LED lighting applications. These limited power sources comply 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 lightening system. The high IP level design (IP67 for CLG-100 series & IP64 for PLN-100 series) can protect the electronic components against from dust and moisture that makes them can be used at indoor or outdoor locations. The CLG-100 series is totally waterproof and can even be immersed in the water up to 1 meter.

Thanks to the ZCS/ZVS technology, the efficiency of CLG-100 and PLN-100 are as high as 87% and hence can operate between -30 ~ +70°C by only free air convection. Standard functions include short circuit, over load, over voltage, and over temperature protections and both of them are equipped with two 18AWG power cables as the connection of input and output terminals. CLG-100, internally fully glued and possessing higher IP level, is targeting at the market of harsh operating condition and uses aluminum case as the enclosure to enhance the mechanical strength; while PLN-100 series with adjustable output voltage/current level uses fully enclosed plastic case due the cost concern and targets at the market that only lower level of waterproof is needed. Typical applications for these new Class 2 power units include general outdoor usage, moving signs and backlighting, LED-based decorative/architectural lighting, LED stage and theater lighting, and LED electronic displays. The CLG-100 and PLN-100 have the following features: universal ac input / full range; built-in active PFC function; cooling by free air convection; IP67 (CLG-100) / IP64 (PLN-100) design for outdoor & indoor installations; suitable for LED lightening and moving sign applications; and adjustable output voltage and current level for PLN-100.
