Test conditions and notes8
  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 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. TSW1: Detect on heatsink of power transistor. TSW2: Detect on heatsink of output diode.
  5. 5. 33% Duty cycle maximum within every 30 minute. Average output power should not exceed the rated power.
  6. 6. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
  7. 7. 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 http://www.meanwell.com)
  8. 8. 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 SP-480-15 for a 15V industrial or automation power rail?

Yes, this model provides a single 15V output rated for 480W and 32A. It is suited to equipment that specifically requires a 15V DC supply at higher current.

Is the SP-480-15 a good fit for test benches or embedded systems that need stable 15V power?

It is appropriate for 15V DC systems that need up to 480W total output. With 32A available, it fits higher-demand 15V embedded, lab, or industrial electronic loads.

Can this unit power 15V devices used in industrial electronics or machine subsystems?

Yes, the SP-480-15 is built for single-output 15V applications and can deliver up to 32A. The 85-264VAC input range also supports use across a wide AC input range.

What environment is the SP-480-15 intended for?

The specified operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C. No IP rating is provided in the listed specs, so the available data does not confirm outdoor or washdown use.

What are the differences between the SP-480-15 and the other SP-480 versions?

The SP-480-15 is rated at 480W, 15V, and 32A. Other SP-480 models listed are SP-480-12 at 480W, 12V, 40A; SP-480-24 at 480W, 24V, 20A; SP-480-3.3 at 280.5W, 3.3V, 85A; SP-480-48 at 480W, 48V, 10A; and SP-480-5 at 425W, 5V, 85A.
