Test conditions and notes7

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25 of ambient temperature.
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. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
4. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
5. Touch current was measured from primary input to DC output.
6. 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).
7. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the ClassⅠ(with FG) EMC tests are executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The ClassⅡ (without FG) EMC tests are executed by mounting the unit on a 130mm*86.6mm 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 )

FAQ

Can I use the RPS-400-18-C in an 18V medical cart or portable clinical device?

Yes, if the device is built for 18V constant-voltage input and remains within 13.9A and 250.2W. It is a medical power supply, so it is targeted at equipment categories where medical approvals and low leakage current matter.

Is this a fit for 18V industrial monitoring or control hardware?

It can be a fit for industrial monitoring, control, or instrumentation hardware that specifies 18V DC input. The supply provides up to 13.9A, and the 80-264VAC input range supports broad AC source compatibility.

Can the RPS-400-18-C power a higher-load 18V embedded system?

It is suited to embedded systems that use a regulated 18V rail. The available 250.2W by convection, or 401.4W at 22.3A with 25CFM forced air, gives meaningful headroom for consolidated 18V loads.

Would this model make sense for compact automation equipment that still needs 18V headroom?

This version combines 18V output at 13.9A with a 130.0 x 86.0 x 43.0 mm footprint and a 0.51 kg weight. That makes it relevant for equipment builders balancing enclosure space against the need for 250.2W output.

Can I use the RPS-400-18-C in outdoor cabinets or washdown areas?

The unit is rated for -30C to +70C operation, but no IP rating is listed in the provided specifications. That means it is better matched to indoor or protected enclosure use than to exposed outdoor or washdown conditions.
