I was just reading thru the meanwell installation manual and I came across the chart on the 3rd page it lists the HLG series for "The maximum number of the LED PSUs that can be connected to a circuit breaker at 230V is shown as below"

My first bit of confusion is what is B10 B16 C10 C16 D10 and D16?

My second area of concern is that I just built my QB setups which have 3 HLG-320h-c1400b wired together into one single 240v power cord and one dimmer. I have three of these setups that I am going to power with my 8-light controller from hydrofarm that is an 8kw max with a 50a breaker iirc

Will my setup be OK?

Not sure about the designation but I think they may be circuit breaker ratings. Meanwell specs 1.65A @230v for your driver. I would stay below 80% of the rated max of each 230v circuit so just multiply 1.65 x 3= 4.95A Three of those circuits allowing a 20% safety margin on max current nets 18.6A I'd be perfectly OK running 3 on a 20A circuit
