Test conditions and notes7
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. (In order to meet tolerance, it is recommended that CH1 load >15% rated current for A type and CH1 load > 10% rated current for B type.)
  4. 4. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
  5. 5. Load regulation is measured from 0% to 100% rated load.
  6. 6. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
  7. 7. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

FAQ

Can I use the RD-3513 for analog or instrumentation equipment that needs plus and minus voltage rails?

Yes. The RD-3513 is a dual output constant voltage supply with +13.5V and -13.5V outputs. Its listed output current is 1.3A and total power is 35.1W, which fits lower-power equipment that needs symmetric voltage rails.

Is the RD-3513 suitable for bench or embedded test systems that use bipolar power rails?

It can be used where a compact AC-DC supply with +13.5V and -13.5V outputs is needed. The unit is rated at 35.1W and uses an 88-264VAC input range. That makes it appropriate for embedded or industrial electronics that require dual polarity rails from universal AC input.

Can the RD-3513 be used in small industrial enclosures with vibration or elevated ambient temperatures?

Yes. The feature list includes 5G vibration resistance and operation up to +70°C. The full operating temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, which supports use in enclosed equipment exposed to cold starts or warmer cabinet conditions.

Is the RD-3513 indoor-only, or can it be used outdoors?

These specifications do not include an IP rating, so it should be treated as an indoor power supply or one that needs a protective enclosure. The temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, but no ingress protection is stated for outdoor exposure.

How does the RD-3513 differ from the other RD models listed in this group?

The RD-3513 is a dual output model with +13.5V and -13.5V rails, rated at 35.1W. Unlike the RD-35A and RD-35B which provide 5V primary outputs, the RD-3513 is designed for symmetric bipolar applications. It shares the same 99x82x36mm dimensions and universal 88-264VAC input as other RD-35 series units.
