Test conditions and notes5
  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 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. 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).
  5. 5. This power supply does not meet the harmonic current requirements outlined by BS EN/EN61000-3-2. Please do not use this power supply under the following conditions: a) the end-devices is used within the European Union, and b) the end-devices is connected to public mains supply with 220Vac or greater rated nominal voltage, and c) the power supply is: - installed in end-devices with average or continuous input power greater than 75W, or - belong to part of a lighting system Exception: Power supplies used within the following end-devices do not need to fulfill BS EN/EN61000-3-2 a) professional equipment with a total rated input power greater than 1000W; b) symmetrically controlled heating elements with a rated power less than or equal to 200W

FAQ

Can I use the SE-450-12 for a 12V industrial control panel with multiple DC loads?

Yes, this model is a constant voltage 12V power supply rated for 37.5A and 450W. That makes it suitable for 12V industrial control panels, automation assemblies, or embedded systems that need a shared 12V DC bus within that output limit.

Is the SE-450-12 a good fit for 12V machine-vision lighting or inspection equipment?

It can be a fit when the inspection hardware requires regulated 12V DC and the total load stays within 37.5A and 450W. Note 5 of the sheet says it does not meet EN61000-3-2 harmonic limits, so it must not be part of a lighting system on 220VAC+ public mains in the EU.

Can I use the SE-450-12 to power a 12V embedded computing or communications cabinet?

Yes, if the cabinet is built for 12V DC input and the combined demand does not exceed 37.5A or 450W. Its switch-selectable 90-132VAC / 180-264VAC input also supports use in facilities on 115VAC or 230VAC supplies.

Is the SE-450-12 suitable for outdoor or harsh-environment use?

The provided specs list an operating temperature of -10°C to +60°C, but no IP rating is stated. Without an IP rating in the product specs, it is better treated as a power supply for indoor or protected enclosures rather than exposed outdoor installation.

How does the SE-450-12 compare with the other SE-450 voltage versions?

Within the SE-450 family, the listed variants are SE-450-3.3 at 3.3V, 75A, 247.5W; SE-450-5 at 5V, 75A, 375W; SE-450-12 at 12V, 37.5A, 450W; SE-450-15 at 15V, 30A, 450W; SE-450-24 at 24V, 18.8A, 451.2W; SE-450-36 at 36V, 12.5A, 450W; and SE-450-48 at 48V, 9.4A, 451.2W. The main difference between them is the output voltage and corresponding output current/power rating.
