Test conditions and notes10
  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. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
  5. 5. A-Type only.
  6. 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. 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. 8. The water protection level test for the IP68 rating is performed 1000mm below the surface of the water for 1 month.
  9. 9. Refer to warranty statement.
  10. 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-240-12A in a 12V automation panel or industrial enclosure?

Yes, this is a 12V constant-voltage supply rated at 192W and 16A, which matches 12V automation and control equipment within that load range. It is intended for systems that specifically need 12V DC output.

Is the HEP-240-12A a good choice for 12V embedded controllers and field electronics?

It can be used for 12V embedded controllers and field electronics as long as the total draw remains within 16A and 192W. The IP65 rating and 90% typical efficiency can be beneficial in compact equipment where airflow is limited.

Can this model power multiple 12V industrial devices from one supply?

Yes, it can support multiple 12V devices when their combined requirement stays within the unit's 192W and 16A rating. The 90-264VAC input range (277VAC operational, also 128-370VDC) also makes it flexible for use across different AC source conditions.

Can the HEP-240-12A be used in exposed industrial environments?

This model is rated IP65 water-resistant and has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +70°C (with derating per the derating curve), so it is suitable for demanding industrial environments with dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. Its 10G vibration resistance also supports harsh-duty use.

How does the HEP-240-12A compare to other 12V HEP power supplies?

This spec sheet covers only the HEP-240 series, so other HEP families are not compared here. In 12V, the HEP-240-12A (IP65, voltage and current level adjustable by internal potentiometer) and the HEP-240-12 (IP68, cable I/O) are both rated 192W and 16A. The other HEP-240 voltages (15-54V) are rated about 225-241W.
