Test conditions and notes8

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. Please refer to "Derating curve".
8. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All EMC tests are 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."

FAQ

Can I use the RPS-500-27-SF for a higher-current 27V medical system?

Yes, this version is built for higher 27V load demand, with a 27V constant-voltage output rated at 18.5A. That gives it 499.5W capacity with its built-in fan for medical equipment designs that need more current than the 11.5A or 11.9A convection ratings of the -C and standard versions.

Is the RPS-500-27-SF suitable for 27V industrial automation or motion-related electronics?

It can be used in industrial or automation equipment that requires a constant 27V DC bus and stays within 18.5A. With 499.5W available, it is positioned for heavier 27V loads than the RPS-500-27 and RPS-500-27-C deliver under convection cooling.

Can this power supply support a 27V embedded platform with multiple power-hungry subsystems?

Yes, if the total 27V demand across the platform remains at or below 18.5A. The 499.5W rating makes it suitable for consolidated 27V loads in larger embedded assemblies.

Is the RPS-500-27-SF appropriate when I need nearly 500W from a 27V supply?

That is the main advantage of this version. It provides 27V at 18.5A for 499.5W with its built-in fan, without the external 25CFM airflow the RPS-500-27 and RPS-500-27-C need to go beyond their 321.3W and 310.5W convection ratings.

How does the RPS-500-27-SF differ from the other 27V RPS-500 models?

The RPS-500-27-SF is one of the two built-in-fan 27V versions at 499.5W and 18.5A, along with the RPS-500-27-TF. The RPS-500-27 (321.3W, 11.9A) and RPS-500-27-C (310.5W, 11.5A) are rated under convection and reach 499.5W with 25CFM forced air; the SF version measures 160.0 x 86.0 x 43.0 mm and weighs 0.64 kg.

Can the RPS-500-27-SF be used in cold or hot equipment environments?

The specified operating temperature range is -30°C to +70°C, with output derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve. No IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so it should be used in protected indoor equipment or inside an enclosure rather than in exposed outdoor environments.
