Mean Well Releases 30W, AC-DC Enclosed Type Switching Supply For LED Applications

December 02, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

Mean Well launched another new product for LED lighting applications – the ELN-30 series – a 30W ac-dc enclosed type switching power supply. The ELN-30 has a non-PFC design to keep the cost low while complying with the requirements of UL 1310 class 2. The output power of these limited power sources will be less than 100VA or 5A under any situation and hence can significantly reduce the hazardous condition exposed to the technicians who execute the construction or maintenance of the LED lighting system. The IP64 design with fully enclosed plastic case can also protect the electronic components from dust and moisture, thus making them usable in harsh environments.

The efficiency of the ELN-30 is as high as 87% and hence can operate between -20 ~ +60°C by free air convection. Standard functions include an adjustable output voltage/current level (through internal VRs), as well as short circuit, over load, and over voltage protections. Dimming control by 1~10Vdc or PWM signal is also available as an optional feature for users who want to adjust the level of output current (brightness of LEDs) by external control signals. Typical applications for these new Class 2 power units include moving signs and backlighting, LED-based decorative/architectural lighting, LED stage and theater lighting, and LED electronic displays.
