Description

MEAN WELL APV-8-24 Constant Voltage LED Power Supply

The MEAN WELL APV-8-24 is a single-output AC/DC constant voltage LED power supply providing 24 V DC, 0.34 A rated output, with a catalog rated power of 8.16 W. It accepts 90-264 VAC or 127-370 VDC and uses a fully isolated IP42 plastic enclosure cooled by free-air convection. Use a load designed for 24 V constant-voltage operation and keep total current within 0-0.34 A and power within 8.16 W, with input and temperature derating applied.

Model and application

Parameter	Details
Full model	APV-8-24
Series and model code	APV-8 is the product series. The final code 24 identifies the 24 V output. The series wattage designation is not a substitute for this model's actual rated output power.
Operating mode	Constant voltage. Use a load designed for 24 V constant-voltage operation and keep total current within 0-0.34 A and power within 8.16 W, with input and temperature derating applied.
Intended application	LED-related fixtures or appliances, such as decoration or advertising devices. The manufacturer states that this product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.
Application qualification	Use the supply as a component in the final equipment. The equipment manufacturer must assess the complete installation and re-qualify EMC performance with the load, wiring and enclosure.

Output and dynamic performance

Parameter	Details
Nominal DC voltage	24 V
Rated output current	0.34 A
Current range	0-0.34 A
Rated output power	8.16 W
Ripple and noise, maximum	300 mV peak-to-peak. Measured at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted-pair wire terminated by parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Voltage tolerance	±5.0%, including setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Line / load regulation	Line regulation: ±1.0%; load regulation: ±2.0%.
Setup and rise time	500 ms setup / 30 ms rise at 230 VAC; 1500 ms setup / 30 ms rise at 115 VAC, at full load.
Hold-up time, typical	20 ms at 230 VAC, at full load.
Measurement basis	Unless otherwise specified: 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Typical values depend on operating conditions.

Input and supply planning

Parameter	Details
Input range	90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz; alternatively 127-370 VDC. Apply the input-voltage derating curve.
AC input current	0.15 A at 230 VAC; 0.3 A at 115 VAC
Efficiency, typical	81% at the catalog measurement conditions; not a guaranteed efficiency at every input and load.
Cold-start inrush, typical	70 A at 230 VAC; pulse width 120 µs measured at 50% of peak current.
Leakage current	0.25 mA at 240 VAC.
Input-voltage derating	At 60 Hz, the static-characteristic curve shows 80% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 100 VAC; 100% is shown from 100 to 264 VAC. Apply the more restrictive thermal/load condition at the same time.
No-load input power	Less than 0.5 W.

Protection and fault behavior

Parameter	Details
Short-circuit protection	Hiccup mode; automatic recovery after the fault is removed.
Overload protection	Above 105% of rated output power; hiccup mode with automatic recovery after the fault condition is removed.
Overvoltage protection	27.6-32.4 V; output shutoff with zener-diode clamping.
Thermal operating limits	Maintain the required ventilation and derate load as ambient temperature rises. Do not treat the upper ambient rating as a full-load rating.

Environment and derating

Parameter	Details
Working ambient temperature	-30 to +70°C, subject to the derating curve.
Cooling and temperature derating	Free-air convection, with the horizontal orientation shown in the drawing. Full load is shown up to +45°C, then decreases linearly to 60% load at +70°C. Keep the input-voltage derating limit at the same time.
Altitude derating	Above 2000 m (6500 ft), reduce the allowable ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1000 m for this fanless design.
Working humidity	20-90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage temperature / humidity	-40 to +80°C; 10-95% RH.
Temperature coefficient	±0.03%/°C over 0 to 45°C.
Vibration	10-500 Hz, 2 G; 10 minutes per cycle, 60 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis.
Enclosure	Fully isolated plastic case, IP42 design. The series description specifies 94V-0 flame-retardant plastic.

Dimensions, leads and installation

Parameter	Details
Body dimensions	60 x 30 x 23.5 mm (L x W x H); drawing tolerance ±1 mm.
Mounting outline	The drawing shows 73.1 mm overall length across mounting tabs and 65.5 mm longitudinal mounting-center spacing.
Input leads	UL1569, 18 AWG; 150 ±10 mm. Brown = AC/L; blue = AC/N.
Output leads	UL1569, 20 AWG; 150 ±10 mm. Red = +V; black = -V. Match output polarity to the load.
DC-input polarity	When using DC input, connect the brown L lead to the positive side and the blue N lead to the negative side.
Installation	Class II design with no FG connection. Before installation or maintenance, disconnect the supply from the utility and prevent inadvertent reconnection. Keep proper ventilation around the unit and do not stack objects on it. When an adjacent device is a heat source, maintain 10-15 cm clearance. Keep lead-wire connections insulated and mechanically secured, and select approved cables rated for at least the unit current. Nonstandard mounting orientations or high ambient temperature require output-current derating. The installation manual limits APC/APV to equipment with a primary use other than lighting, such as copiers or overhead projectors, or to scale and display lighting; also observe the regional luminaire restriction above.
Case-temperature point	The mechanical drawing identifies the tc / T case measurement point. Its location dimensions are not temperature limits.
Connection and mounting items	This is a wired power-supply module. Select suitable connection and mounting hardware for the final equipment using the lead specifications and mechanical drawing above.

Standards and catalog references

Parameter	Details
Listed safety approvals	UL 8750, CSA C22.2 No.250.0-08, EAC TP TC 004, BS EN/EN 62368-1, BIS IS 15885. Select the actual supplied regional version and required markings for the installation.
BIS regional qualification	The main BIS approval excludes the 5 V model. A separate BIS IS 15885 registration R-62002178 is listed for products made in India only; verify the actual manufacturing origin and markings rather than assuming this condition applies to every unit.
Insulation classification	Class II insulation design with no FG connection.
Withstand voltage	Input-to-output: 3.75 kVAC.
Insulation resistance	Input-to-output: greater than 100 MΩ at 500 VDC, 25°C and 70% RH.
EMC emissions	Compliance listed to BS EN/EN 55032, BS EN/EN 61000-3-2, BS EN/EN 61000-3-3 and EAC TP TC 020.
EMC immunity	Compliance listed to BS EN/EN 55035 and BS EN/EN 61000-4-2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -8 and -11; light-industry level with 2 kV surge. The completed installation still requires assessment.
Catalog mass reference	50 g per unit (0.05 kg), from the PACKING field. This is the catalog packing reference per unit, not a measured net weight or a complete shipping-package weight.
Manufacturer catalog statement	The manufacturer datasheet lists a two-year warranty and a 100% full-load burn-in test.
Regional markings	The datasheet notes that units sourced from the Americas may not carry ENEC/BIS logos. Check the actual unit markings for the required market.
