Test conditions and notes7

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at △230VAC(Y 400VAC) 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. During withstand voltage and isolation resistance testing, the screw "A" shall be temporarily removed, and shall be installed back after the testing.
5. There is high possibility to trigger the floating over voltage protection when PV voltage is trimmed from a high voltage level to a lower voltage level at light load or no load condition. It is suggested that turn off the power supply and set PV voltage to the lowest level, then adjust output voltage to a desired value.
6. 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 720mm*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)
7. 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 RST-5000-36 power a mid-size 36V industrial control or automation system?

Yes, this model provides a 36V constant-voltage output rated for 4968W and 138A. It is suited to mid-size 36VDC industrial systems where the required load stays within those published limits.

Is the RST-5000-36 suitable for 36V production equipment or test racks that need less power than a 10000W unit?

It can be a better fit when the application needs 36VDC but does not require the higher 9936W output of the larger 10000 series model. This version provides 4968W at 138A while still offering programmable output voltage and programmable constant current level.

Can I use the RST-5000-36 in a parallel power architecture for higher 36V capacity?

Yes, the listed features include active current sharing up to 20000W (3+1). That supports higher-capacity 36V system designs using multiple units while staying within the family's specified sharing capability.

Will the RST-5000-36 handle demanding industrial temperature conditions?

The operating temperature range is specified as -30C to +70C, which supports a wide range of indoor industrial environments. The specs do not provide an IP rating, so it should be used in a protected enclosure rather than in exposed outdoor or washdown areas.

How does the RST-5000-36 compare with the other RST output models?

The sibling list includes RST-10000-24 at 9600W, 24V, 400A; RST-10000-36 at 9936W, 36V, 276A; RST-10000-48 at 10080W, 48V, 210A; RST-15K-115 at 14950W, 115V, 130A; RST-15K-230 at 14901W, 230V, 64.8A; RST-15K-380 at 15030W, 380V, 39.55A; RST-5000-24 at 4800W, 24V, 200A; RST-5000-48 at 5040W, 48V, 105A; RST-7K5-115 at 7475W, 115V, 65A; RST-7K5-115L at 7475W, 115V, 65A; RST-7K5-230 at 7452W, 230V, 32.4A; RST-7K5-230L at 7452W, 230V, 32.4A; RST-7K5-380 at 7515W, 380V, 19.77A; and RST-7K5-380L at 7515W, 380V, 19.77A. The RST-5000-36 is the 36V, 4968W, 138A option in the 5000 series.
