XBG-100-AB-C constant-power LED driver
MEAN WELL XBG-100-AB-C is a 100 W AC/DC constant-power LED driver for bay, stage and spot lighting. Its default output current is 2100 mA, with a 27–56 V constant-current operating region. The metal round housing is IP67-rated and cooled by free-air convection. Select the LED load within the combined voltage, current, power and temperature limits. Built-in potentiometer adjusts the output operating point. AB adds isolated 3-in-1 dimming with dim-to-off: 0–10 VDC, 10 V PWM or resistance.

Rated output power
100 W; observe voltage, current and power limits simultaneously.
Constant-current region
27–56 V.
Full-power current range
1750–2780 mA. The series headline describes full-power operation across approximately 70–100% of the current setting; use the model-specific I–V envelope to select a valid load.

Less than 0.5 W for this AB option.
Protection behavior
Parameter
Model-specific information
Short circuit
Hiccup mode or constant-current limiting; automatically recovers after the fault is removed.
Over-power protection
105–150%; hiccup mode, automatically recovers after the fault is removed.
Overvoltage
61–78 V; shuts down the output. Re-power on after correcting the fault to recover.
Overtemperature
Shuts down the output; re-power on after correcting the overtemperature condition to recover.
Isolated 3-in-1 dimming
Parameter
Model-specific information
Interface
Apply the control signal between DIM+ (purple) and DIM− (pink). Do not connect DIM− to Vo−.
Analog / PWM / resistance
Use 0–10 VDC, or a 10 V PWM signal at 100 Hz–3 kHz, or resistance. Typical dimming source current is 100 µA.
Low-level and off behavior
Minimum dimming level is approximately 8%; output current is undefined between 0% and 8%. About 0 VDC, 0 Ω or a 10 V PWM signal at 0% duty cycle can reduce output to 0%.
Synchronized resistance control
For N synchronized drivers, the curve runs in 10 kΩ/N steps up to 100 kΩ/N at full output. Match controller and driver quantities to the catalog circuit.
LED connection
Connect directly to LEDs; use with additional downstream drivers is not suitable.

Altitude derating
For this fanless model above 2000 m (6500 ft), reduce the permitted ambient temperature by 3.5°C per additional 1000 m.
Reference performance curves
PF, THD and efficiency plots use Tcase 65°C. THD and efficiency examples use a 1750 mA setting; they are not guaranteed values at every operating point.
Dimensions, wiring and installation
Parameter
Model-specific information
Housing / dimensions
Round metal IP67 housing; with a fitted protective-earth connection. Ø130 × 56 mm (D × H), as listed in the specification table; the mechanical drawing separately gives Ø126.6 × 56 mm. Confirm the mechanical fit against the actual drawing before installation.
Mechanical drawing

Unit mass
800 g: catalog PACKING reference per unit, 0.8 kg × 1000. Not a measured shipping weight.
Suspension and transport
Inspect for cracks if packaging is damaged; do not drop or bump the driver. Tighten all screws, including the suspension screw, with spring washers. Limit the complete luminaire, including the driver, to 10 kg. Protect against shock during packing and transport. The hanger, chain and high-bay illustrations are installation examples, not included accessory order codes.
Optional AC cable

Cable matching
This model drawing shows CHOGORI 22003211-01 and H05RN-F 3 × 0.75 mm². Other XBG pages show a different construction under the same F61 cable codes; confirm the supplied connector and cable for this exact driver before ordering.

Installation manual requirements
Parameter
Model-specific information
Installation safety
Disconnect the mains supply and prevent accidental reconnection before installation or maintenance. Have faults examined by a qualified technician; do not open the power-supply case yourself.
Ventilation and mounting
Keep ventilation clear and do not stack objects on the unit. Keep 10–15 cm clearance when the adjacent device is a heat source. Follow this model’s mounting, ambient-temperature and output-derating requirements.
System wiring and protection
Use approved primary and secondary wiring rated for at least the applicable unit current. Provide suitable system-level insulation and an enclosure around single-insulated wiring; verify EMC again in the completed system.
Environmental and load limits
Do not immerse the unit or install it near fire or above its specified ambient limit. Keep output current and power within the model’s rated operating envelope. If a fitted external flexible cable is damaged, replacement is limited to the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
Connection seals and support
If waterproof connectors are fitted, secure their connections to prevent water entry. Verify the mounting structure and luminaire strength; use safety cables for bay-light applications.
Protective-earth installation
Connect the fitted FG/PE conductor or connector terminal to protective earth according to this exact model’s wiring diagram.
Weather protection
This IP67 model with an output adjustment device must be installed indoors or in a location sheltered from rain outdoors, as required by the installation manual. The IP rating does not permit immersion.
Dimming isolation
This model’s catalog explicitly specifies an isolated 3-in-1 dimming circuit. Follow its analog DIM interface; do not substitute the HBG nonisolated-interface instruction.
Control-circuit installation
The catalog control conductors are 22 AWG, smaller than 18 AWG. The installation manual requires connection only to a SELV controller or network for such standalone dimming conductors; contact MEAN WELL before using FELV control. Verify compatibility with this exact analog or digital interface.
AC connector installation
Follow the catalog connector pin table: pin 1 is AC/L, pin 2 is AC/N and pin 3 is protective earth. The optional AC input cable is separately charged. Confirm the matching connector and supplied cable specification before ordering or installation; the XBG model pages depict different cable constructions under the same optional order codes.
