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 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  5. 5. Heat sink HS2,HS3 can not be shorted.
  6. 6. Heat sink HS2,HS3 must have safety isolation distance from system case.
  7. 7. 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 230mm*230mm 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 )
  8. 8. Please refer to suggest application (2)、(4) in page 3.
  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 PSC-100A-C for 13.8V backup power in industrial monitoring or automation equipment?

The PSC-100A-C provides a 13.8V DC output rated 4.75A on CH1 (plus 2.5A on CH2), for 100.05W total rated power. That suits equipment built for a 13.8V battery-backed DC bus, provided the load stays within the 4.75A CH1 rating.

Is the PSC-100A-C appropriate for telecom, radio, or communications hardware that uses a 13.8V DC bus?

It is designed around a 13.8V DC output with a rated current of 4.75A on CH1. For communications hardware that is specified for 13.8V operation, that output rating and the 100.05W total rated power define whether the unit is a match.

Can the PSC-100A-C support battery-backed embedded systems or industrial controllers during AC interruptions?

This model includes a UPS function and is rated 100.05W total at 13.8V, with 4.75A rated on CH1. That makes it relevant for embedded or control equipment intended to run on a 13.8V battery-backed supply, as long as the load current stays within 4.75A.

Is the PSC-100A-C suitable for use in global OEM equipment shipped to different AC power regions?

The input range is 90-264VAC (or 127-370VDC), so the supply can operate across a broad AC mains range without changing the DC output rating. The output remains 13.8V with 4.75A rated on CH1 and 100.05W total rated power.

Can the PSC-100A-C be used in hot or cold indoor electrical cabinets?

The rated operating temperature is -20°C to +70°C, with load derating at higher ambient temperatures (refer to the enclosed-type derating curve). The provided specifications do not include an IP rating, so dust-tight or outdoor exposure suitability cannot be confirmed from the listed data.

What practical differences should I note between the PSC-100A and PSC-100A-C form factors?

Both versions are rated 100.05W, 13.8V, and 4.75A with the same -20°C to +70°C operating temperature range, certifications, and 2-year warranty. The PSC-100A-C is larger and heavier at 130.0 × 85.0 × 37.0 mm and 0.44 kg, while the PSC-100A is 127.0 × 76.2 × 31.0 mm and 0.23 kg.
