3* qb288 driver question

[BlueDrew]

Hi everyone,
Noob here, tried searching the forum without much luck. I've ordered 3 qb 288 v2. I plan to run in a series with a hlg 320h c1750a. I did the math when I made my order. Looking at it now something seems off. Did I mess up?

Thanks,

The set up will probably max out at 270watts depends how much current the driver will allow, the A type drivers will normally do a little more than the specs suggest.

An HLG-320H-C2100A or B would be a better choice.

Thanks for the reply. I will amend my order.

So why does this pull lower wattage. Just curious, I saw timber grow lights offer 3 288 with the 1750. I've already changed my order as suggested. Just curious. I'm trying to learn.

Hmmm, that 2100 will only do 152V; I don’t think it’ll be able to run 3 actually.

According to hlg's website, the qb288 v2 pulls 48.96v @ 2100mA. Is there a reason that driver won't run 3? That's only 147v. Maybe you are thinking qb288 v1?

[LEDG]

It also says to add a tolerance of 1V for each board for matching. That being said, that’d still only be 150V so you guys are right - it should work.

Hmm. I didn't see that. Nice

[BlueDrew]

Accordinf to the data sheet for the 1750 it will go to 183v. Is this wrong. I'm trying to understand why it will only pull 270 watts. What am I missing?

[BlueDrew]

Nm. I see what i missed. Thanks door the help
