Test conditions and notes5
- 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 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 5 The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)

FAQ
What are the main electrical ratings of the Mean Well LOP-500-27?
The LOP-500-27 is a 500W open frame AC-DC power supply with a 27V DC output. Its rated output current is 18.5A with 23CFM forced-air cooling (11.9A under convection), and it accepts a wide 80 to 264VAC input range with active power factor correction. Mean Well lists efficiency up to 95% for this model.
Is the LOP-500-27 suitable for space-constrained equipment?
Yes. This model uses a compact 5 x 3 inch footprint and a low 30.5mm profile, with overall dimensions of 127 x 76.2 x 30.5mm. That makes it a practical choice for equipment where internal clearance is limited but higher power density is still required.
Can the LOP-500-27 be used in medical or safety-sensitive equipment?
This model is designed for multi-field use and is approved to IEC 60601-1 and ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 (3.2 version), with Class I earth leakage current below 500μA at 264VAC. Buyers should still confirm the full end-equipment compliance requirements for their specific device.
What cooling conditions affect the available output power on the LOP-500-27?
The LOP-500-27 is rated for 320W under convection cooling and up to 500W when used with 23CFM forced-air cooling. It also includes a built-in 12V/0.5A output for an external fan. This distinction matters for OEM designs that need the full rated power in a compact enclosure.
What protections are built into the Mean Well LOP-500-27?
This power supply includes overload, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection. Overload protection covers 105 to 150% of rated output power, with hiccup behavior after 3 seconds and automatic recovery once the fault is removed. Overvoltage and overtemperature protection shut down the output and recover after conditions return to normal or after repowering, depending on the event.
Is the LOP-500-27 designed for harsh industrial environments?
Yes, it is built for demanding operating conditions. Mean Well specifies a working temperature range of -40 to +80 degrees C with derating, and operating altitude up to 5000 meters under IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 (OVC II), or 2000 meters with OVC III under IEC/EN 61558-1/-2-16. Those specifications make it relevant for industrial, embedded, and enclosed equipment used in varied environments.
