The PSP-600 power supply is a lower cost replacement for the SP-500 model. Models can be adjusted for 13.8V, 27.6V, 42V and 55.2V for battery replacement or battery charging applications. For a video on adjusting the output voltage... click here. NOTE: Meanwell sets all voltages at 50% output current... an insulated pot adjust tool is recommended... connecting to ALL output terminals is recommended as damage to terminals or the PCB can occur otherwise!
The PSPA-1000 power supply, lower in cost, higher in current output (12V, 15V, 24V), wider temperature operation (24V and 48V up to 70°C) and more efficient (up to 50% less heat dissipated) than older models such as the RSP-1000. Models can be adjusted for 13.8V, 27.6V and 55.2V for battery replacement or battery charging applications!
The Meanwell PSP-600 and PSPA-1000 have remote voltage sensing, a DC OK signal plus active PFC (Power Factor Correction)+, constant current limiting* on overload and short circuit with automatic recovery. They also have over temperature and over voltage protection and a 3 year or 5 year Australian warranty respectively. The PSP-600 and PSPA-1000 also allow parallel operation for up to 4 units each, maximum 2400W and 4000W respectively.
*constant current limiting is ideal for motor startup and other applications with high current, exceeding the maximum, at switch on. Also for battery charging (with protective devices fitted).
600W Series
PSP-600-5 = 5V@80A (5 x 80 = 400W), PSP-600-12 = 12V@50A, PSP-600-13.5 = 13.5V@44.5A, PSP-600-15 = 15V@40A, PSP-600-24 = 24V@25A, PSP-600-27 = 27V@22.2A and PSP-600-48 = 48V@12.5A.
1000W Series
PSPA-1000-12 = 12V@80A, PSPA-1000-15 = 15V@64A, PSPA-1000-24 = 24V@42A and the PSPA-1000-48 = 48V@21A.
The PSP-600 and PSPA-1000 power supplies operate from 100 to 240VAC input (with derating at lower input voltages), are fan cooled and provide an output voltage adjustable by -5% to +15%. Both units weigh 1.9kg and are 185x120x93mm in size. The small JST XHP 2 pin plug is included free-of-charge with each unit. How does Meanwell get 1000W into the same encloser as a 600W unit? The PSPA-1000 is so efficient that it produces 50% less heat than the PSP-600. So, for "cooler" operation replace your PSP-600 with a PSPA-1000 for longer life, less heat inside your cubicle and higher temperature operation!
All Meanwell products have a 2 to 7 year warranty. MEAN WELL Enterprises Co., is a Taiwan based company started in 1982 with strong ties worldwide (some well-known companies re-badge their products) and they provide excellent support and backup. Meanwell is a TQM (Total Quality Management) company and is ISO9001 certified. In 2017, the 2-year return rate was 1 in 6600. Meanwell power supplies are extremely reliable in our experience with only one unit DOA (Dead On Arrival) that was replaced and three returned during the warranty period in the 10+ years we have been selling... one power supply had been installed in a control box outdoors (for advertising) and had been attacked by a nest of ants! Meanwell now offers a range of fully sealed units (IP65 and IP67 rated)... please ask us for advice for outdoor and hazardous environments. For a company video - click here.
Some "on-the-web" comments... 1. "I have hundreds of 600 Watt 24V Meanwells running in the field and probably another 100+ 350Watt 5V running in the field and they are the most reliable piece of equipment compared to everything else. I've -never- replaced one in over 11 years, but I have replaced a lot of cruddy circuit boards designed or assembled by the less technically inclined (companies).", 2. "But in the end I've learnt a lesson here and that is spend the extra cash and buy some quality power supplies like the meanwell brand or else you could be in for a very frustrating time but I don't have the budget for that this year so I'll have to deal with what I have (sad face)". 3. Need a decent power supply... I can recommend mean well supplies. They are low end industrial supplies but are good quality, much better than no-name chinese supplies you can get from ebay etc.. I use mean well in lots of equipment and have had very few failures in thousands of hours of run time.
We also provide a download (or CDROM on request) with the documentation in PDF format and other information on Meanwell products.
All goods sold in Australia include GST, a tax invoice is provided.
EXPRESS DELIVERY INCLUDED.
*a re-written user manual is provided (also in PDF format on CD-ROM) because we care that all products that we sell have clear and easily readable information and instructions with adequate warnings about any dangers or precautions that need to be taken! Beware of "fakes" and "look-a-likes" (with logos of "M&W", "MiWi", "WH", "WeHo", "WaW", "MN", "MWKJ", "MIEG WAEI", "NWJS" for example) these are often cheap, low quality products that do not meet the safety requirements for use in Australia. Also beware of purchasing this product from overseas as an Australian Warranty will not be provided. This unit has exposed 240VAC terminals and must be installed inside a suitable enclosure according to local electrical authority regulations. +NOTE, any power supply above 150W that does not have POWER FACTOR CORRECTION most-likely does not meet C-TICK or EMI requirements for use, on 240VAC mains in Australia! DO NOT BUY such power supplies, including the Meanwell SE-600 and SE-1000 (even if offered on Ebay). You can generally tell if a high-wattage (> 150W) power supply does NOT have "active" PFC because it will have a switch to select 115VAC or 230VAC. The advantage of "active" PFC is that not only is the AC mains current reduced (and of course "in phase" with voltage... something that power companies prefer), but the electrical interference (EMI) is reduced (less harmonics) BUT also it stablises the input allowing the AC voltage to vary greatly WITHOUT having to use a SWITCH which activates voltage doubling when the AC input is less than 180VAC.
