When talking about LED drivers most people would automatically think of the type that takes AC power and converts it to either a constant DC voltage, or a DC voltage maintained at a constant current.
In some parts of Australia power lines are injected with a ripple voltage, or pulse. This can be at a frequency ranging from 167Hz to 1050Hz and is also known as the Zellweger ripple or audio frequency injection control (AFIC).
Selecting a LED driver with the correct forward voltage range is critical for LED luminaire designs, and when matching a constant current LED driver to a light fitting.
Many of our readers will already know that ADM has a strong commitment to educating our customers and the wider community about the importance of electrical safety approvals.
Some of the MEAN WELL’s HLG series LED drivers have a particular characteristic, which can be problematic for installations with poor quality light fittings or LED strip.
