Output and selection
| Model and function |
I denotes the India version with input overvoltage protection; AB combines a current-setting potentiometer and isolated 3-in-1 dimming. |
| Rated output power |
25 W. Apply the published thermal limits. |
| Output current |
700 mA default. 0.25–1.05 A via the built-in current adjustment potentiometer. This range must be combined with the I–V operating envelope. |
| Constant-current voltage region |
22–54 V. Keep voltage × current within the 25 W rating and the shaded I–V region. The full current/voltage rectangle is not usable. |
| Open-circuit voltage |
57 V maximum. |
| Output current ripple |
5.0% maximum at rated current. |
| I–V selection boundary |
The published envelope includes 250 mA/54 V, 500 mA/22 V and 1050 mA/22 V boundary points. At low current the minimum usable voltage rises; choose within the shaded area and the 25 W rating. |
| Startup |
Setup 500 ms; rise 100 ms at 115 VAC / 230 VAC. Setup is measured at first cold start; repeated switching can increase it. |
Input and performance
| Input supply |
90–305 VAC; 127–431 VDC. AC frequency 47–63 Hz. Active PFC. |
| Input derating |
The 60 Hz static curve shows full load from 90 to 305 VAC; thermal limits still apply. |
| Power factor |
At full load: PF ≥0.97 at 115 VAC, ≥0.95 at 230 VAC and ≥0.92 at 277 VAC. |
| Total harmonic distortion |
THD <10% at load ≥50% for 115/230 VAC, or load ≥75% for 277 VAC. |
| Input current |
0.29 A / 115 VAC; 0.15 A / 230 VAC; 0.13 A / 277 VAC. |
| Inrush current |
Typical cold start 50 A at 230 VAC; width 350 µs at 50% peak, per NEMA 410. |
| 16 A circuit breaker loading |
5 units on type B and 8 on type C at 230 VAC, as listed in this datasheet. |
| Leakage current |
<0.75 mA at 277 VAC. |
| No-load / standby consumption |
No-load consumption <0.75 W for the I version. Dimming-off standby consumption <0.5 W for AB type. |
Protection
| Short-circuit protection |
Constant-current limiting; automatically recovers after the fault is removed. |
| Overpower protection |
110–150% overpower protection; automatically recovers after the fault is removed. |
| Overtemperature protection |
Hiccup operation; automatically recovers after the fault is removed. |
| Overcurrent protection |
Constant-current limiting; automatically recovers after the fault is removed. |
| Input overvoltage protection |
320–370 VAC threshold; output shuts down when input exceeds the protection threshold and recovers automatically after removal of the fault. The I version can withstand 440 VAC input stress for 48 hours; this is a survival test, not its normal operating input range. |
Operating conditions
| Case temperature |
Tcase −40 to +85°C; maximum case temperature +85°C. Case temperature and ambient temperature are different limits. |
| Ambient derating |
Horizontal mounting: full load through 60°C ambient, reducing to 60% at 70°C. The cold region from −40 to −25°C is marked for 230 VAC input only. Keep the case within its stated limit. |
| Cooling and altitude |
Natural air convection. Above 2000 m altitude, reduce permitted ambient temperature by 3.5°C per additional 1000 m for this fanless model. |
| Humidity and storage |
Working humidity 20–95% RH non-condensing. Storage temperature −40 to +80°C. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.03%/°C over 0–60°C. |
| Vibration |
10–500 Hz, 5 G, 12 minutes per cycle; 72 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis. |
| Lifetime and warranty |
Catalog typical life expectancy >50,000 hours with the marked tc point about 80°C or lower. Five-year manufacturer warranty, subject to its warranty terms. Lifetime decreases as case temperature increases. |
| Reliability |
3931.6 K hours minimum by Telcordia SR-332; 399.9 K hours minimum by MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C. MTBF is not a service-life guarantee. |
Control and adjustment
| Current setting |
Set the rated current with the built-in Io ADJ potentiometer; preserve the adjustment seal and the published I–V and temperature limits. |
| Dimming interface |
AB type: isolated 3-in-1 current dimming between DIM+ (purple) and DIM− (pink). Use 0–10 VDC, a 10 V PWM signal at 100 Hz–3 kHz, or an external resistance. Typical dimming-source current 100 µA. |
| Dimming limits |
Minimum defined dimming level approximately 8%; current is undefined between 0% and 8%. Output can fall to 0% at approximately 0 Ω, 0 VDC, or a 10 V PWM signal with 0% duty cycle. |
| Dimming connection |
Do not connect DIM− to V−. Direct connection to the LEDs is suggested; this dimming arrangement is not suitable for an additional downstream driver. |
| Synchronized resistance dimming |
The plotted resistance scale is 10 kΩ/N through 100 kΩ/N, where N is the number of drivers in synchronized dimming. The control source must support the combined dimming-source current and the required insulation. |

| Catalog packing reference per unit |
0.42 kg = 420 g for this AB type. This is the catalog per-unit packing reference, not a measured net weight or an entire shipping-carton weight. |
| Accessories and selection |
Select installation hardware and any dimming controller for the actual model, load and environment. The inspected series sheets do not specify a dedicated MEAN WELL accessory order code for this model. IP67 is subject to the installation instructions and does not authorize immersion. |
| India version ordering |
The catalog marks the I version as supplied by request and requiring a production minimum quantity; confirm current ordering terms with the manufacturer. No stock or delivery promise is made here. |
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. Connect a fitted FG lead to protective earth according to the model wiring; the manual exempts only units marked Class II and ungrounded. |
| 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. |
| Adjustable-unit weather protection |
This IP67 model has a built-in adjustment function. Install it indoors or in a location sheltered from rain outdoors, as required by the installation manual. IP67 does not permit immersion. |
| Dimming-controller installation |
Verify that the controller can drive the actual interface and number of units. 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 exact model’s dimming method and wiring. |
