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 the HEP-480-54A be used for 54V DC automation equipment?
Yes, for equipment that requires constant-voltage 54V DC and draws no more than 8.9A. With 480.6W output capacity, it is positioned for higher-load 54V systems rather than compact low-power controls.
Is this power supply a fit for 54V communications or network hardware?
It can be a fit for communications or network hardware that is specified for a regulated 54V DC source. The supply accepts 90-264VAC input (277VAC operational) and delivers constant-voltage 54V output, which is useful when the incoming AC source may vary by site.
Can I use the HEP-480-54A in rugged embedded or OEM systems?
Yes, if the system is built around 54V constant-voltage power and remains within 480.6W total demand. The 95% typical efficiency, IP65 rating, and 10G vibration specification support use in sealed or maintenance-sensitive equipment.
Is the HEP-480-54A rated for demanding indoor and outdoor conditions?
This model carries an IP65 water-resistant rating and operates from -55°C to +65°C (with load derating at higher temperatures), so it is suitable for tough industrial environments with dust, spray, and wide temperature swings. It is also specified to withstand 10G vibration for harsher service conditions.
Where does the HEP-480-54A fit in the HEP-54V series?
Within the HEP-480 series, the HEP-480-54A is the 54V model at 480.6W and 8.9A, the highest-voltage, lowest-current option next to the 24V, 36V and 48V versions. It is the A-type, with built-in potentiometers for 45.9-56.7V voltage and 4.4-8.9A current adjustment and an IP65 rating; the HEP-480-54 Blank-Type is the IP68 alternative without adjustment.
