Meanwell Wiring - Need some help
Real quick question.
I have a LPC meanwell driver and I am at a stopping point. Something real easy but I just need to make sure. The blue and brown wires which is positive and negative? Also on the cord going to the wall there is no color coding only one with white writing on it, ground, then solid black. Which is positive and negative on that. Thanks in advance! -Dave

Just go to rapidled.com and look at the PDF of the ballast. When I did mine I checked it out about 100 times. Free to download them your sure. Who knows why they chose those stupid color combinations anyway???

Get a meter.
Learn how to use it. Empirical perception knows no substitute. |

"Get a meter.
Learn how to use it." So you are saying that you can tell which is the hot & which is the neutral by looking into the meanwell with a meter? Good luck with that Stu
