Test conditions and notes10
- 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 0.1uf & 47uf 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 static characteristics for more details.
- 5. A-Type only.
- 6. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 7. The power supply is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 8. The water protection level test for the IP68 rating is performed 1000mm below the surface of the water for 1 month.
- 9. Refer to warranty statement.
- 10. 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 HEP-240-15A in a 15V automation panel or machine enclosure?
Yes, if the equipment requires a constant 15V DC source and draws no more than 15A or 225W. Its 90-264VAC input range (277VAC operational, also 128-370VDC) also makes it practical for industrial power environments with broad AC input conditions.
Is the HEP-240-15A a good fit for 15V embedded controllers or industrial electronics?
This unit is designed for constant-voltage output at 15V and can support systems up to 15A and 225W. The IP65 rating and adjustable output (14-16V via internal potentiometer) are useful in enclosed electronics spaces.
Can the HEP-240-15A be used in damp or dusty locations?
It has an IP65 water-resistant rating, so it is suited to indoor industrial areas and protected outdoor locations where dust and water spray resistance are needed. Its operating temperature range of -55°C to +70°C also supports use in very cold or very hot environments.
Would this work for 15V field devices in harsh industrial environments?
It can be used for 15V field devices, controls, or low-voltage industrial equipment that require constant voltage and stay within 225W and 15A. The IP65 rating and 10G vibration tolerance make it more suitable for harsh service than standard indoor-only supplies.
What is the difference between the HEP-240-15A and the other HEP-240 versions?
The HEP-240 family includes 12V models at 192W and 16A, 15V models at 225W and 15A, 24V models at 240W and 10A, 36V models at 241.2W and 6.7A, 48V models at 240W and 5A, and 54V models at 240.3W and 4.45A, with each voltage offered in standard and A-suffix versions. This HEP-240-15A matches the HEP-240-15 electrically at 15V, 15A, and 225W, but this version is IP65 water-resistant while the non-A model is IP68.
