Meanwell 240 48B Question

Hey people, I'm experimenting with a QB setup but I appear to be having an issue with the Meanwell 240 48B driver I've got connected to two QB288's.

My multimeter is reading no more than 1.46A when the dimmer is set to max. Volts stay constant at about 49.95V. I've removed the dimmer and tested the default max and also don't get more than 1.46A. 

This means that my max wattage is sitting at 73W where I have a driver technically capable of 240W. I wouldn't run the QB at 240W hence the dimmer, but 73W seems way too low for maximum.

If anyone has an idea what I am missing please reply 🙏

Alright so, in the interest of not leaving an unanswered question regarding this driver, it appears this model is limited to 48V

I've replaced the B model with the Meanwell 240 48AB and I'm happy to say that did the job. Can easily push to 200W and 5A with the voltage adjusting accordingly.

So don't go for the B mode Meanwell drivers. Get the AB✊
