Measurement conditions Unless otherwise stated, specifications are measured at 230 VAC, rated current and 25°C ambient. Typical efficiency for this output model: 93%.
Input and frequency 100–305 VAC / 142–431 VDC; 47–63 Hz.
Active PFC and harmonics Built-in active PFC; power factor ≥0.97 / 0.95 / 0.92 at 115 / 230 / 277 VAC, full load. Total harmonic distortion <20% at loads ≥50% at 115 and 230 VAC; 75% at 277 VAC.

Model and control configuration

Exact ordering code ELG-240 identifies the series; 48 identifies the nominal output voltage. DA: DALI control technology. The -3Y suffix identifies the three-wire AC input version.
Protection rating IP67 metal housing with functional grounding. Three-wire input includes protective earth (green/yellow).
LED driving arrangement Constant-current operation can drive LEDs directly. Constant-voltage applications generally use an additional DC/DC driver; apply the specific direct-LED requirement below when using 3-in-1 dimming.
DALI interface Primary-side DALI connection; IEC 62386-101 and -102, with -207 available by request. Supports 16 groups and 64 addresses. First dimming step: 8% output.

Protection and operating limits

Overcurrent and short circuit Overcurrent: 95–108% of rated output, constant-current limiting, automatic recovery after removal of the fault. Short circuit: hiccup mode with automatic recovery.
Overvoltage and temperature protection Overvoltage threshold: 54–63 V. Overvoltage and overtemperature shut down the output; re-power to recover.
Case temperature and cooling Fanless free-air convection; mount horizontally. Working case temperature Tc: −40 to +90°C, subject to derating. Cold operation from −40 to -25°C is shown at 230 VAC only. Tc is case temperature, not ambient temperature.
Ambient derating The ambient curve allows 100% load up to 60°C, falling to 60% at 70°C. The constant-current operating region is rated to a maximum ambient temperature of 60°C. Maintain the case-temperature limit and apply both input and ambient derating.
Input derating At 100–180 VAC, use the exact low-input power rating above; the family static curve shows approximately 75% load in this region and rises to 100% by 200 VAC, remaining there through 305 VAC. The plotted input is 60 Hz.
Humidity, storage and coefficient Working humidity: 20–95% RH, non-condensing. Storage: −40 to +90°C, 10–95% RH. Temperature coefficient: ±0.03%/°C over 0–60°C. Vibration: 10–500 Hz, 5G, 12 min/cycle, 72 min along each X, Y and Z axis.
Service life and reliability Typical life exceeds 50,000 hours at Tc ≤70°C; higher case temperature reduces life, as shown by the lifetime curve. Five-year warranty under the stated installation and operating conditions. MTBF: 2391.4K / 190.7K hours, respectively Telcordia SR-332 and MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C.
Performance-curve conditions PF plots use constant-current operation. THD and efficiency curves are representative of ELG-240-48 at Tc = 80°C. Curves illustrate load/input dependence; the exact output rating and typical efficiency for this SKU remain those listed above.
Lighting-system integration Install behind a mains switch for the stated ErP lighting-application compliance.

Installation manual requirements

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 This 3Y version has a three-wire input with a green/yellow PE/FG conductor. Connect it to protective earth and connect the case to PE as specified for complete EMC performance and safe use.
Controller installation Verify the compatibility and capacity of the controller or network for this exact interface. For standalone use with dimming conductors smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm²), use SELV controllers/networks; contact MEAN WELL for guidance before using FELV control. Follow this model’s control wiring.

Confirm the exact LED load, operating temperature, control interface and installation requirements against the linked datasheet and manual before commissioning.
