2. ELECTRICAL FEATURES
2.1. Electrical parameters
The iLC PRO control gear with eSMART technology has a very extensive operating area, perfectly adjusting the
operating point required in the design of each luminaire and each lighting system. The result is full flexibility, easily
adapting to the continuous and fast evolution being experienced by LED technology lighting.
The operating area of the drivers is defined by the maximum and minimum load voltage that can be connected, by the
maximum and minimum output current that can be programmed and by the maximum working power.
The operating point is defined by the maximum voltage of the LED module to be connected and the current which it
is going to supply. This operating point must be within the operating area of the selected driver.
In the iLC PRO family, the operating area of one model partially overlaps with that of the higher output model, ensuring
a continuity that effectively responds to every operating point. When the defined operating point falls within the
operating area of several drivers, selecting the device with the lowest assigned power will provide it with the best
electrical output values in terms of THD, power factor and efficiency; while selecting the device with the highest
assigned power will provide a lower working temperature and as such, a longer service life. Generally, if the luminaire
has a good thermal design, the first option is usually the recommended selection.
The iLC PRO control gear with eSMART technology permits a wide range of the supply voltage that, in addition to
becoming a solution suited to a host of installations, guarantee stable and reliable operation in the face of fluctuations
in the values of the mains grid voltage.
In terms of efficiency, the power factor, THD and dimming range of the iLC PRO drivers are positioned in the high
performance segment of the lighting sector.
