MDR range (above left)
The MDR series provides 20 to 100 Watts of output at fixed voltages of 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V or 48V. It has most of the features of the DR series in a more space saving design (industrial standard housing) and provides a DC OK LED and DC OK signal output (capable of driving a remote lamp, PLC input or relay). Other features include; extended temperature range -20°C to 70°C, an input voltage range of 85-264VAC or 120-370VDC and a hold-up time of 50ms (240VAC) at full load to provide a buffer against momentary power loss! A 3 year warranty is provided. They are also EN61000-6-2 heavy industry level approved. The MDR-100 has the added advantage of built-in PFC (Power Factor Correction) and OTP (Over Temperature Protection). The entire MDR range is UL508 (industrial control equipment) listed and has low no-load power consumption (less than 1W). This unique characteristic can significantly expand the application of MDR range beyond heavy industrial fields to data communication (datacom) and IT applications that require "green" power to save energy under no-load conditions.

DR range (above centre)
The DR series provides 75 to 480 Watts of output at fixed voltages of 12V, 24V or 48V. Features: constant current limiting, DIN rail (TS35/7.5 or 15) mounting, LED power OK indicator, UL508 (industrial control equipment) approval and Over Temperature Protection (OTP). All models are available in 415VAC (up to 550VAC or 780VDC) input, 2 or 3 phase in 24V or 48V output - click here. A 960W model DRT-960 (in 24V@40A or 48V@20A) is also available. If you require 12V (or 13.8V) in a 240W or higher DIN rail mount unit checkout the DRS-2410-12 from Manson Engineering. This also provides paralleling capability (up to 5 units) and remote voltage sensing! Call us for pricing. For voltages of 2.5V to 55V checkout the caged supplies below which can be DIN rail mounted. e.g. the HRP-200 provides a 200 Watt model without fan with voltage sensing! The HRPG-200 provides a 5V aux. and remote on/off control.

NOTE: Replace your DRT-960 with single phase operation using 2 x SDR480P in parallel (saves 100mm in DIN rail space and provides up to 150% peak load capability). For three phase operation, use 3 x SDR480P for 2000 Watts peak!

SDR range (above right)
The SDR range provides 120 to 480 Watts of continuous output (150% peak for 3 seconds) at voltages of 12V, 24V or 48V. This is a cost-effective alternative to the Siemens SITOP PSU300M series 6EP1334, 6EP1336, 6EP1337, 6EP1436 and 6EP1437 power supplies! Also provides a better alternative to the IMO DPS series. The SDR range features 150% peak current for 3 seconds to allow trouble-free energizing of loads with high starting currents such as motors, lamps etc. Other features include; 90% plus efficiency, extended temperature operation (70°C), a DC OK output, active Power Factor Correction (PFC), 100-240VAC operation and compact size. The SDR range is the first Meanwell Power Supplies with GL marine and SEMI F47 (voltage sag immunity) compliance. In addition, the WDR range operates on 240VAC to 415VAC (300-700VDC) and have 100% constant current limit with automatic recovery! Now available is the SDR480P with parallel capability - up to 8 units or 3500 Watts! That's 24V at 140 Amps!

The I2C option provides ID information (serial number, model, date of production), provides the analogue value of voltage, current and internal temperature and reports faulty AC input, DC output, temperature and fans! See the Monitor Unit - RCP-MU The I2C information allows you to monitor each power supply by microcontroller or computer to determine if a fault has occurred (or may be about to occur) and to monitor the 'Total Run Time' of the PSU to determine when it should be replaced. NOW AVAILABLE are the RSP-2000 and RCP-2000 with monitoring/control unit RKP-CMU. These provide the highest density power supplies available from Mean Well at 21.4W per cubic inch and can be connected in parallel for up to 18,000 Watts!!! That's 750 Amps at 24 Volts!

NEW! High Reliability series with 5 years warranty! The HRP(G) series provides 75W, 100W, 150W, 200W and 300W, 450W, 600W in 8 different voltages from 3.3V to 48V - adjustable by -5/+10% (< 150W) otherwise +/-15% - capable of providing any fixed voltage from 3V to 55V !!! Operating temp. -30°C to 70°C, 100% full-load burn-in test, 300VAC input surge protection, Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), remote voltage sensing (150W and above), DC OK signal (300W and above), 1U low profile for 19" rack (600W - 2U). For the latest in eco-design the HRPG series is available with auxilary power 5V@0.3A with remote shut-down (consumption < 0.5W) making it ideal for many applications where compliance with Energy Star and EuP norms are required! i.e. on a moving message system a microcontroller can be powered by the 5V 0.3A output and wake-up the power supply only when required (when it gets dark or at a certain time-of-day). This aux. voltage and remote control input can also be used to activate the power supply using a wireless (radio or IR) switch. Please contact Procon Technology for suitable modules. Note, higher wattages than 600W can be provided by paralleling HRPG-600 units together (24V, 36V, 48V only) and for lower wattage (15W to 150W) miniature units for high temperature/high reliability operation see the RS series. All RS, HRP and HRPG units are rated for heavy industrial use and vibration tested to withstand 5G. NOTE, the HRPG-300 is an (almost) drop-in replacement for the Cosel PBA-300 and the HRPG-600 for the Cosel PBA-600.

The Reliabilty 'S' or RS series provides drop-in replacements for the NES and S series with higher wattage output !!! Replace NES-15 with RS-25... NES-25 with RS-35... NES-35, S-25 with RS-50... NES-50, S-40 with RS-75 or HRP-75*... NES-75, NES-100, S-60 with RS-100 or HRP-100 or HRP-150*... NES-150, S-100F with RS-150 or HRP-200. *note, on the HRP or HRPG units the terminals overhang by 15mm.

Tests conducted on the RS series shows that they provide CONSTANT POWER OVERLOAD capability (down to 50% voltage) and do not always go into HICCUP MODE. Constant power is better for driving motors, capacitive loads (e.g. DC-DC converters or DC-AC inverters) and other loads where the inital start-up current is high!

OTHER INFORMATION:
1. @With short-circuit and overload protection, some supplies shut-down and must have the power cycled off and on again to recover, some have a hicup mode and recover automatically and others have constant current or constant power limiting. Note, when driving motors, incandescent lights and highly capacitive loads the supply must allow for the peak current or a constant current limited output is recommended (e.g. DR, HRP, HRPG, MDR, PSP, RCP, RSP, SDR, SP*, SPV, WDR* version). *some units only. Please check what mode of operation you require before purchase!
2. Most MW power supplies have exposed supply input terminals (except laptop and desktop style) therefore they must be used inside a control cubicle or suitable enclosure for OEM (Own Equipment Manufacturer) use. For desktop power supplies from Manson and Meanwell - click here. Note, only the LED range of power supplies provide outdoor IP64/IP67 operation. Click here to download a catalogue in PDF (1.2MB).
3. All MW power supplies operate from -10°C (new units from -30°C) to 60°C (most RS, MDR, SDR and WDR range from -20°C to 70°C and CLG/HLG/HRP/HRPG from -30°C to 70°C). The current output must be derated at temperature extremes and with low input voltage.
4. All MW power supplies have floating outputs and can be used as positive or negative earthed supplies and can be connected in series for increased voltage. Note, diode protection against reverse voltage may be necessary and, remember, any voltage above 60VDC is hazardous - the requirement of SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) of IEC60950-1. Please ask for an information sheet for this and other applications (e.g. using them in parallel or as a battery charger).
5. Small power supplies may be DIN rail mounted with additional hardware. L brackets are also available.
6. All MW power supplies (shown here) have a 100% full load burn-in test and a MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of greater than 100,000 hours using MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C (excludes RSP/RCP). Most small power supplies have >300,000 hours MTBF.
7. Some MW power supplies have auxilary voltage outputs (5V, 12V or 13.8V - e.g. for battery charging), parallel operation (extending the current output), active Power Factor Correction (PFC), extended temperature operation, remote on/off, remote 20%-120% voltage control using 1-5V, remote voltage sensing (to compensate for external wiring) and power fail signal outputs - please ask if you require these features. Open frame, medical safety approved power supplies can also be provided.
8. The MDR and SDR range may be used to replace Siemens 6EP1331, 6EP1731, 6EP1333, 6EP1334 models or Omron S8VS, S8VT and S8PS models costing much, much more!

*Meanwell only use good-quality Japanese electrolytic capacitors in their 'industrial' range such as Rubycon, Mitsubishi, Hitachi or United (Nippon) Chemi-Con. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Counterfeit Electronic Components - An Overview
Cheap power supplies causing premature failure of expressive equipment - Monash University Melbourne, June 2009
Bogus! Electronic manufacturing and consumers confront a rising tide of counterfeit electronics - IEEE Spectrum, May 2006

One customer sent a German 'brandname' power supply to us which had failed in the first 12 months of use (in the hot Melbourne summer). He thought it was a Meanwell DR-120 power supply because it looked similar. Opening the power supply we found that 'cheap' electrolytic capacitors had been used and one had "popped its top" (bulging capacitor problem) causing other components to burn out!

What does Mean Well mean to you?
'Mean Well' may be a name that is unfamilar to you. Perhaps you have purchased the one of the brandnames below? These are often large companies that supply a wide range of electronic equipment, whereas Mean Well specialize in power supplies... or power related products only! Many of these brandnames may, in fact, have their power supplies manufactured by Mean Well. Some of them simply rebadge the MeanWell product and sell it for significantly more! As for the name itself 'Mean Well' or 'MW' should stand for 'Manufactured Well' but the name, which was translated from Chinese, means more than it's dictionary definition - 'to have good intentions'. It may surprise you that Mean Well Enterprises has adopted Confucius Analects as part of its corporate culture, 'Honesty and Sincerely', 'Active and Responsible' and 'Harmony and Unity'. The message from the President (Mr Jerry Lin) illustrates the importance the company places on the operation of a humble power supply - "If the CPU is the brain of a system, the power supply is it's heart, and often the value of losses incurred in a single failure can exceed the value of the power supply itself." Note, Meanwell has been awarded the 'Taiwan Superior Brands' title for 2010... click here.

How much can MeanWell save you?
Another major power supply company has an equivalent 1000-3000 Watt hot-swap 19 inch rack mount system which is 'suitable for use as combined power supply and Battery Charger in high-end DC back-up systems'. Three of their power supplies and a rack would cost $???? Three of the Meanwell RCP-1000 power supplies and one RCP-1UI rack would cost around $2000. A saving of $???? - even more savings for OEM and quantity purchasers! Procon Technology also provides the RCP-1000 power supply with the Postronic PCIB24W9F400A1 socket (this mates with CN501) so that swapping supplies is a simple matter of unplugging and plugging in a new unit! The RCP-1000 simplifies the change-over procedure considerably and protects your equipment. NOW AVAILABLE are the RSP-2000 and RCP-2000. Providing up to 18,000 Watts!!! That's 750 Amps at 24 Volts!

Why are some Meanwell power supplies not stocked in Australia?
Any Meanwell power supply can be supplied ex-factory (often within 7 days by express shipment), however a number of Meanwell's range are NOT APPROVED FOR USE IN AUSTRALIA because they do not have the necessary international certification for C-tick approval. Non-approved models includes the SE Series and any of the S series or NES series above 150 Watts! It is important to note that ALL of the power supplies above 150 Watts that we stock have Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), which is a demand of power companies in Australia!

NOTE: Power Factor Correction is provided on all models with 'P' in the part number such as the SP and HRP ranges. Also all CLG, HLG models and all AC power adapters above 60 Watts.

We also REPAIR Manson and Meanwell power supplies, chargers and inverters - minimum charge $50 + parts + shipping.
