Test conditions and notes9
  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. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the setup time.
  5. 5. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to the “STATIC CHARACTERISTICS” for more details.
  6. 6. The power supply shall be regarded as one component of the final system. The EMC performance will be affected by the complete system installation and/or configuration, the final system manufacturers must re-verify overall EMC directive with the complete installation and/or configuration. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
  7. 7. The water protection level test for the IP68 rating is performed 1000mm below the surface of the water for 1 month.
  8. 8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
  9. 9. 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 the HEP-480-48A be used for 48V industrial control systems?

Yes, if the control system requires constant-voltage 48V DC and the total load stays within 10A. With 480W output capacity, it fits larger 48V control assemblies better than lower-power 48V supplies in the same series.

Is this power supply appropriate for 48V IT or communications equipment?

It can be appropriate for IT or communications hardware designed for a regulated 48V DC source. The unit delivers 48V constant voltage with up to 480W output, and its 90-264VAC input (277VAC operational) supports use across a broad range of AC input conditions.

Can I use the HEP-480-48A in embedded or OEM equipment that needs a sealed 48V supply?

Yes, for OEM or embedded builds that require 48V DC constant-voltage power up to 10A. The IP65 rating, 94.5% typical efficiency, and 10G vibration specification can be useful in enclosed equipment where durability matters.

Is the HEP-480-48A meant for outdoor or washdown-prone environments?

This model is rated IP65 water-resistant and operates from -55°C to +65°C (with load derating at higher temperatures), so it is suitable for demanding indoor areas and outdoor locations with exposure to dust and water spray. It is also specified to withstand 10G vibration, which supports use in harsher industrial conditions.

How does the HEP-480-48A sit within the 48V HEP lineup?

On the HEP-480 sheet, 48V output comes in two versions: the HEP-480-48A and the HEP-480-48, both 480W at 10A. The HEP-480-48A is the A-type with built-in potentiometers for 40.8-50.4V voltage and 5-10A current adjustment and an IP65 rating, while the Blank-Type HEP-480-48 is rated IP68 without adjustment.
