Test conditions and notes9
- 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. 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. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to the “STATIC CHARACTERISTICS” for more details.
- 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. The water protection level test for the IP68 rating is performed 1000mm below the surface of the water for 1 month.
- 8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 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-480-36 for a 36V industrial automation or control system?
Yes, if the equipment requires constant 36V DC and the total load stays within 478.8W and 13.3A. It is intended for 36V industrial, automation, or embedded applications that need a fixed-voltage supply.
Is the HEP-480-36 appropriate for a 36V DC bus in embedded equipment?
It can be used for a 36V DC bus where the connected load is designed for constant-voltage operation at 36V. The available output is 13.3A with 478.8W total power capacity.
Can this model power 36V monitoring, control, or communications hardware in harsh environments?
Yes, for 36V loads that remain within 478.8W and 13.3A. The IP68 rating, 10G vibration specification, and operating range of -55°C to +65°C (with load derating at higher temperatures) support use in demanding industrial environments.
Is the HEP-480-36 suitable for outdoor or washdown-style locations?
This version is rated IP68, which makes it the more sealed option compared with the IP65 variant. Its operating temperature range is -55°C to +65°C, with load derating at higher temperatures, so it is designed for very wide environmental conditions when the rest of the system is matched to that level of protection.
How does the HEP-480-36 compare with other 36V HEP power supplies?
On the HEP-480 sheet, the 36V counterpart is the HEP-480-36A, also rated 478.8W and 13.3A. The HEP-480-36A is the A-type with built-in potentiometers for 30.6-37.8V voltage and 6.6-13.3A current adjustment and an IP65 rating, while the HEP-480-36 is the Blank-Type with an IP68 rating and no adjustment.
