Need help with triple V2 builds
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2018 8:45 am
I ordered a HLG slate 3 triple 320 watt 3000k qb288 v2 for testing as I want to run 3-4 of them but wasnt sure on the right driver for series wiring. They come with no driver which is what I want or as a kit with the 320-c1750 driver which I bought for testing. It is a little under powered for the job. I am running 220v AC input on 3 boards in series and getting 50v and 2000ma to the boards at full power with this driver which is roughly 100 watts a board and the driver runs a little hot maxed out. the review on this site used the 480H-C2100 driver on this exact setup at 106 watts per board. it would be easier and cheaper for me to run 3 of the 480H-C2100A drivers on 3 triple setups for now because at some point I might need to add another triple and with the 3 480's already in place I can still run all 4 triples efficiently, 3 boards per driver to start off and then 4 boards in series. A certain company is telling me the 480 is too much for just one triple, that it will put 480 watts to 1 triple how? Is that even possible? it will be dialed in around 106-110w per board and thats not even till full flower. I have 16 inch oscillating fans blowing across each individual heatsink 1 foot away in a controlled environment, not a tent lol. Please help as the math adds up for my build but I am pullin my hair out and need to pull the trigger on this order ASAP.
