Test conditions and notes7

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. Touch current was measured from primary input to DC output.
6. 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).
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 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

Can I use the RPS-120-48-C for a 48V automation controller or field device?

Yes, if the device requires constant 48V DC and its load stays within 1.75A by convection, or 2.5A with a 10CFM fan. The supply is rated for 84W by convection or 120W with the fan and accepts 80-264VAC input, which suits a wide range of AC-powered equipment.

Is the RPS-120-48-C suitable for 48V medical equipment?

It is described as medical safety approved and has extremely low leakage current, which supports medical equipment use. The electrical match still has to be 48V constant voltage with a load no higher than 1.75A/84W by convection or 2.5A/120W with a 10CFM fan.

Can this model power compact 48V embedded or communications assemblies?

Yes, for compact assemblies that need 48V DC at up to 1.75A by convection or 2.5A with a 10CFM fan. Its 103.4 × 62.0 × 40.0 mm dimensions and 0.24 kg weight can be useful where the power stage has to fit into a tighter internal layout.

Is the RPS-120-48-C appropriate for steady 48V instrumentation loads?

It is a constant voltage supply rated at 48V, 1.75A by convection or 2.5A with a 10CFM fan, so it can support steady instrumentation loads within its 84W (convection) or 120W (fan) limit. The important requirement is that the equipment is designed for a fixed 48V DC source.

Can the RPS-120-48-C be used in outdoor equipment cabinets?

The unit has an operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C (with output derating per the derating curve), so temperature capability is broad within that range. However, no IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so outdoor exposure suitability is not established here.

How does the RPS-120-48-C compare with the nearby RPS-120 voltage options?

The RPS-120 outputs are 12V (7A convection / 10A with a 10CFM fan), 15V (5.6A / 8A), 24V (3.5A / 5A), 27V (3.15A / 4.5A) and 48V (1.75A / 2.5A), rated 84W by convection and 120W with the fan (85W / 121.5W for 27V). Each voltage comes as a PCB type and an enclosed -C type with the same electrical rating; the RPS-120-48-C is the enclosed 48V model.
