Description

PLN-100-20 — Single-output CV/CC power supply

MEAN WELL PLN-100-20 is a single-output power supply with a 20 V DC output, 4.8 A rated current and 96 W stated output power. It accepts 90–295 VAC or 127–417 VDC and uses active PFC, an IP64 fully isolated plastic case and free-air convection cooling. The stated current and power are maximum possible values; the UL1310 Class 2 protection threshold may be slightly lower.

LED load and application conditions

Load application	LED lighting and moving-sign applications. Suitable for dry or damp locations, subject to the installation guidance.
LED drive method	CV+CC design: constant-voltage area (A) may supply an LED driver; constant-current area (B) directly drives LEDs. Area (C) is hiccup protection.
LED-system compatibility	The highest output voltage within the constant-current region depends on the configuration of the end system. Contact MEAN WELL if compatibility issues arise.
Switched-mains installation	To meet the stated ErP lighting-fixture requirements, use this supply behind a switch; do not leave it permanently connected to the mains.

Installation and system guidance

Installation isolation and service	Disconnect the supply from the mains before installation or maintenance and prevent unintended reconnection. Have faults examined by a qualified technician; do not open the case yourself. Any adjustment requiring case removal must be performed by qualified personnel with mains disconnected, following the model drawing and safe reassembly requirements. Dispose of the LED supply together with the lighting equipment at end of life.
Ventilation and mechanical support	Keep ventilation clear and do not stack objects on the unit. Maintain 10–15 cm clearance when an adjacent device is a heat source. Follow this model’s mounting orientation and derating diagrams. Check the mounting surface and luminaire structural strength; use safety cables for bay lighting applications. For IP64 units, use indoors or outdoors only where sheltered from rain. Do not immerse the unit in water.
Wiring and system enclosure	Use approved input and output wiring with current ratings at least equal to the applicable unit current. Follow this model’s terminal assignments. Connect this model’s FG lead to protective earth (PE). Provide insulation around system interconnections and enclose single-insulated wiring. Keep output current and power within the model ratings and temperature limits. Have damaged external flexible cables replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified personnel.
Circuit-breaker reference	At 230 V AC, the installation manual gives calculated maximum quantities for PLN-100 with ABB S200-series breakers: B10 1, B16 3, C10 3, C16 5, D10 6 and D16 10. B, C and D identify breaker trip curves; 10 and 16 identify ampere ratings. These counts apply to that stated breaker and voltage reference.
EMC integration	Reverify EMC in the finished equipment with the connected load and actual wiring and assembly. The linked guidance describes representative component-power-supply tests; its illustrated distances are test arrangements, not installation clearances.
