PSP range all have been phased out except PSP-600. For the PSP-500 we recommend using PSP-600 or HRPG-600 (24V to 48V only for parallel operation). For PSP-1000 use PSPA-1000 or RSP-1000. For PSP-1500 use RSP-1500 or RSP-1600. The RSP range above 750W now provides a 5 year warranty compared to 3 years for the PSP range and 2 years for the old SCN range.

Please contact us for all your special power supply needs. Mean Well also have supplies in miniature high temperature versions (RS, RD, RID, RT, RQ series), open frame (PLP, ULP, PS series), multi-rail (D, T, Q, QP series) and in IP64/IP67 environments, see the LED range for LED lighting and moving sign applications outdoors or wet area indoors. For enclosed power supplies (12V to 48V) see the HEP-600 or the HLG Range which allows non-electricians to open control cubicles safely as, with a 240VAC plug and socket fitted, no exposed 240VAC terminals are used.

19 inch rack mount system for the RCP-1000, RCP-1600, RCB-1600, RCP-2000, DRP-3200 and DBR-3200. Now available is the RCB-1600 and DBR-3200 series with 13.8V, 27.6V and 55.2V outputs for battery charging in telecommunications and other large battery charging systems. The DRP-3200 and DBR-3200 provides 12800W per rack with up to 3 racks in parallel for 25.6kW in total! All units have hot-swap operation, internal ORing diode, AC OK and DC OK LED/signals plus over-temperature signal and I²C or PMbus serial data interface option! The I²C or PMBUS (Power Management Bus) option provides ID information (serial number, model, date of production), provides the analogue value of voltage, current and internal temperature and reports faulty AC input, DC output, temperature and fans! See the Monitor Unit - RCP-MU The I²C/PMBUS information allows you to monitor each power supply by microcontroller or computer to determine if a fault has occurred (or may be about to occur) and to monitor the 'Total Run Time' of the PSU to determine when it should be replaced. The RCP-1000 is a near equivalent system to the TDK-Lamda (Amtex) FPS1000.

The Reliable 'S' or RS series provides drop-in replacements for the NES series and S series with higher wattage output !!! Replace NES-15 with RS-25... NES-25 with RS-35 or LRS-35 or LRS-50... NES-35, S-25 with RS-50 or LRS-75... NES-50, S-40 with RS-75 or HRP-75* or LRS-100... NES-75, NES-100, S-60 with RS-100 or HRP-100* or LRS-150 or HRP-150*... NES-150, S-100F with RS-150 or HRP-200* (side screw holes different). S-150-13.5, S-150-27 with AD-155(output terminals different). S-150-12, S-150-24, S-150-48 with ADS-155(output terminals different). *note, on the HRP or HRPG units the terminals overhang by 15mm.

Tests conducted on the some RS series models shows that they can provide CONSTANT POWER OVERLOAD capability (down to 50% voltage) and do not always go into HICCUP MODE. Constant power is better for driving motors, capacitive loads (e.g. DC-DC converters or DC-AC inverters) and other loads where the inital start-up current is high!

OTHER INFORMATION:
Please email Procon Technology, for a FREE catalogue of Meanwell Power Supplies (LED catalogue also available), these catalogues are now printed using 'Soy Ink'... for more environmentally friendly printing allowing paper to be more easily recycled!
1. @With short-circuit and overload protection, some supplies shut-down and must have the power cycled off and on again to recover, some have a hicup mode and recover automatically and others have constant current or constant power limiting. Note, when driving motors, incandescent lights and highly capacitive loads the supply must allow for the peak current or a constant current limited output is recommended (e.g. DR, EDR*, HEP, HLG*, HRP, HRPG, MDR, MSP, NDR*, PSP, RCP, RSP*, SDR, SP*, SPV, WDR* version). *some units only. Please check what mode of operation you require before purchase!
2. Most MW power supplies have exposed supply input terminals (except laptop and desktop style) therefore they must be used inside a control cubicle or suitable enclosure for OEM (Own Equipment Manufacturer) use. For desktop power supplies from Manson and Meanwell - click here. Note, only the LED ranges of power supplies provide outdoor IP65/IP67 operation. Click here to view the enclosed power supplies for Harsh Environments!
3. All MW power supplies operate from -10°C (new units from -55°C) to 60°C (most RS, MDR, SDR and WDR range from -20°C to 70°C, CLG/HLG/HRP/HRPG from -40°C to 70°C and HEP from -55°C to 70°C). The current output must be derated at temperature extremes and with low input voltage.
4. All MW power supplies have floating outputs (except the SP-480) and can be used as positive or negative earthed supplies and can be connected in series for increased voltage. Note, diode protection against reverse voltage may be necessary and, remember, any voltage above 60VDC is hazardous - the requirement of SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) of IEC60950-1. Please ask for information for this and other applications (e.g. using them in parallel or as a battery charger).
5. Small power supplies (up to 320W) may be DIN rail mounted with additional hardware. L brackets are also available - click here.
6. Some MW power supplies have auxilary voltage outputs (5V, 12V or 13.8V - e.g. for battery charging), parallel operation (extending the current output), active Power Factor Correction (PFC), extended temperature operation, remote on/off, remote 20%-120% voltage control using 1-5V, remote voltage sensing (to compensate for external wiring) and power fail signal outputs - please ask if you require these features.
7. The HRPG-300/MSP-300 are possible replacements for the Cosel PBA-300 and the HRPG-600/MSP-600 for the Cosel PBA-600.

*yes! It had to happen one day... our first DOA unit, a RSP-200-27 power supply! Remember, in the last 10 years we have sold 1,000's of Meanwell power supplies!

NOTE: An additional method of calculating the MTBF, the Telcordia/Bellcore SR-332, is now given on DPU, PSPA, RSP (750W an above) and RST devices! Plus chargers and 19" rack units. This is considered a more accurate method of determining the MTBF then MIL-HDBK-217 for commercial products.

What does Mean Well mean to you?
'Mean Well' may be a name that is unfamilar to you. Perhaps you have purchased the one of the brandnames below? These are often large companies that supply a wide range of electronic equipment, whereas Mean Well specialize in power supplies... or power related products only! Many of these brandnames may, in fact, have their power supplies manufactured by Mean Well. Some of them simply rebadge the MeanWell product and sell it for significantly more! As for the name itself 'Mean Well' or 'MW' should stand for 'Manufactured Well' but the name, which was translated from Chinese, means more than it's dictionary definition - 'to have good intentions'. It may, or may not, surprise you that Mean Well Enterprises has adopted Confucius Analects as part of its corporate culture, 'Honesty and Sincerely', 'Active and Responsible' and 'Harmony and Unity'. The message from the President (Mr Jerry Lin) illustrates the importance the company places on the operation of a humble power supply - "If the CPU is the brain of a system, the power supply is it's heart, and often the value of losses incurred in a single failure can exceed the value of the power supply itself." Note, Meanwell has won the 2019 'Taiwan Excellence Award' for the DBR-3200 (3200W rack mounted power supply) and the LDPC-50A (Laser Diode Driver).

Why you should buy MeanWell for use in Australia?
A quote from an Electrical Contracting Magazine... 'Very high temperatures this summer have made it particularly hard for many inverters that were not designed or rated to withstand Australian conditions. This has been one of the factors contributing to recent increases in inverter failures.'

Replace the PBC-30, PBC-40 with RS-75 or HRP-75*... PBC-50, PBC-60, PBC-70 with RS-100 or HRP-100 or HRP-150*... PBC-100 with RS-150 or HRP-200 (side screw holes different)... PBC-150 with SP-150... PBC-200 with SP-200... PMT-200 with RSP-200... PBC-300/PMF-320WCG with SP-320... *note, on the HRP or HRPG units the terminals overhang by 15mm. Equivalents for the DUAL and TRIPLE power supplies are also available! The RS series provides direct replacements for the IDEC PS3X series. Also provides replacements for the PowerBox PBC series with higher wattage output.

Why are some Meanwell power supplies not stocked in Australia?
Any Meanwell power supply can be supplied ex-factory (often within 7 days by express shipment), however a number of Meanwell's range are NOT APPROVED FOR USE IN AUSTRALIA because they do not have the necessary certification. Non-approved models includes the SE Series and some LED power supplies. It is important to note that ALL of the power supplies above 150 Watts that we stock have Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), which is a requirement for C-Tick approval in Australia! The only exception is the LRS-200 and the LRS-350 which are now approved for use in Australia BUT not approved in the EU. Power Factor Correction is provided on all models with 'P' in the part number such as the RSP, HRP and UHP ranges. Also all HLG and SDR models (NDR & WDR above 120W) and all AC power adapters above 60 Watts. Finally, supply of the obsolete S series is now only available with minimum orders of 200 units and the NES series has been discontinued in Australia, as this series does not have world-wide approvals and demand is low. We recommend the RS series or LRS series instead.

Disclaimer: The above specifications are subject to change without notice. Please ensure the suitability of these products for your application before purchase. In applications where mains surges may occur (e.g. due to lighting strike) additional protective devices should be fitted... such as the Meanwell SPD-20-240P. Further note that the power supplies with open terminals are intended to be installed inside a "suitable" protective encloser with adequate ventilation provided. They must be installed by a qualified person according to local electrical authority regulations. Please contact us should you have any doubt. Some FAKE Meanwell power supplies* have also been sold by overseas suppliers - BEWARE! Always purchase from an authorised Australian Supplier! That way you'll be able to make a warranty claim if necessary and you'll also be assured that the power supply meets Australian Standards or has the necessary Electrical Safety Approvals AND works properly without interference! Further, BEWARE of suppliers or equipment imported from overseas that supply the SE series, these are only approved for use in the USA and Canada (and some other countries) where they operate on 110VAC. They are not approved for use in Australia or Europe where the mains voltage is 220-240VAC.
