Meanwell to Inventronics.

Hey gang; I have an HLG-480h-54 (no dimming.) driving 3 Qb96 engines in parallel. Want to switch to a driver with dimming but don't want to shell out another $120+ + shipping. I heard about Inventronics drivers a couple years back and want to give one a try since their prices run a little cheaper. W...

Re: Max Wattage on 480h-54A?

When i DO turn it all the way to the right (%100) it reads 615watts. But i've dialed it back and set it to 440w. That's why i think im running at %60-65.

Re: Max Wattage on 480h-54A?

Did you test other equipment on the killawatt to make sure the problem is not with the measurement itself? Yes. I have a Viparspectra v1200 and the kill-a-watt read it at 516w. its advertised at 520. Also have a v600 rated at 260 watts. meter reads it at 262. So, i guess the meter is not at fault. ...

Max Wattage on 480h-54A?

i Have an HLG-480-54A driver powering two Qb96 engines in parallel. When i turn up the wattage all the way to the right (full power) the wattage goes up to 617-618 watts. That's the wattage being drawn from the wall when i read it off the Kill-a-Watt (p3). I have it set at 440w. So my questions are,...
