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 I use the HEP-480-24A for a high-current 24V control cabinet?

Yes, if the cabinet uses 24V constant-voltage equipment and the total demand stays within 480W and 20A. That makes it suitable for larger industrial control, automation, or embedded systems built around a 24V DC rail.

Is the HEP-480-24A a fit for 24V embedded or industrial computing equipment?

It can be, because it provides a constant 24V output with up to 20A available current. For application fit, the connected 24V equipment needs to stay at or below the 480W maximum output.

Can this power supply support 24V automation hardware in vibration-prone equipment?

Yes, for 24V loads that fit within the 20A and 480W rating. The product is specified to withstand 10G vibration (20-500Hz along the X, Y and Z axes), which is relevant for harsher industrial or mobile equipment conditions.

Is the HEP-480-24A suitable for outdoor use?

This model is rated IP65 Water-Resistant, so it is intended for demanding environments but is not the IP68 version. It is specified for operation from -55°C to +65°C (with load derating at higher temperatures), which supports broad temperature exposure when the enclosure and application match an IP65 environment.

What are the main 24V alternatives to the HEP-480-24A in the same series?

In the HEP-480 series, the 24V alternative is the HEP-480-24 Blank-Type, also 480W and 20A, which is rated IP68 but has no voltage or current adjustment. The HEP-480-24A is the A-type with an IP65 rating and built-in potentiometers for 20.4-25.2V output voltage and 10-20A current adjustment.
