WARNING: Some 'cheap' switch-mode power supplies are entering the Australian market! We recommend you use a 'quality' power supply like Manson (based in Hong Kong) or MeanWell (based in Taiwan) shown here with minimum two year warranty. Mean Well Enterprises Co. Ltd. is ISO9001 certified. Note, these are the same power supplies sold under the SunPower and RS (UK) brandnames (i.e. same part no. as Meanwell) with some costing more than twice the price and having only a 12 months warranty!
We provide a minimum 2 years warranty, with DIN rail units it's 3 years... now some are up to 5 years! click here

All MeanWell power supplies have UL / TUV / CE * approvals and have built-in short-circuit, overload and OVP (Over Voltage Protection)@. All fan cooled models plus the SDR series, most DR models and MDR100 have Over Temperature Protection (OTP). To determine the output current divide the wattage by the voltage. e.g. 240 Watts at 24V provides 10A. Note the maximum current needs to be derated at temperature extremes (see data sheets). *Some power supplies also have BSMI / CB / CCC / CUL / FCC / GL / LPS / MEPS / SEMI F47 approvals.

Please contact us for all your special power supply needs. Mean Well also have supplies in miniature high temperature versions (RS, RD, RID series), open frame (NFM, PS, PD series), multi-rail (D, T, Q, QP series) and in IP64/IP67 enclosures (PLN series and CLG series) suitable for LED or Halogen lighting and moving sign applications outdoors or wet area indoors. Also available are medical safety approved open-frame units (MPS, RPT series) and inline/laptop style units (MES series). Mean-Well have supplies with fixed voltages (+/-10%) or remotely adjustable output voltage (20-120%) and with currents as high as 240A which can also be connected in parallel for over 900 Amps!!!

19 inch rack mount system for the RCP-1000 (1U high) and RSP-1500 (2U high) series power supplies (3 units fit into one 19" rack). The RSP-1000 power supply can also be provided as the RCP-1000 version with; up to 8 units in parallel for 400A at 12V, 250A at 24V or 125A at 48V (connect in series for 96V), all output voltages externally adjustable by +/-10%, hot-swap operation, internal ORing diode, AC OK and DC OK LED/signals plus over-temperature signal and I2C serial data bus option! 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.

NEW! High Reliability series with 5 years warranty! The HRP(G) series - click here - provides 75W, 150W, 300W and 600W (other wattages coming soon) in 8 different voltages from 3.3V to 48V - adjustable by +/-15% - capable of setting any voltage from 3V to 55V !!! Operating temperature -30°C to 70°C, 100% full-load burn-in test, 300VAC input surge protection, active PFC, built-in remote voltage sensing, DC OK signal (300 to 600W only), 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). Note, wattages higher than 600W can be provided by paralleling HRPG-600 units together.

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 fold-back or constant current 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 should be used (e.g. DR, MDR, RCP, RSP, SDR, SP, USP version). 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 or the CLG/PLN series) 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.
3. All MW power supplies operate from -10°C (new units from --30°C) to 60°C (most MDR and SDR range from -20°C to 70°C and CLG/PLN/HRP from -30°C to 70°C). The current output must be derated at temperature extremes and with low input voltage. Please see individual data sheets for information.
4. All MW power supplies have floating outputs and can be used as positive or negative 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 (up to SP320) 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 hour 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 electrolytic capacitors in their 'industrial' range such as Rubycon, Mitsubishi or United (Nippon) Chemi-Con. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Leaking Capacitors Muck up Motherboards - IEEE Spectrum, February 2003
Bogus! Electronic manufacturing and consumers confront a rising tide of counterfeit electronics - IEEE Spectrum, May 2006.

One customer sent another '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 power supply because it looked similar to the DIN rail DR-120 unit. Opening the power supply we found that 'cheap' electrolytic capacitors had been used and one had "popped it's top" causing other components to fail!

Mean Well Enterprises Co Ltd:
Mean Well Enterprises Co., Ltd. is one of the leading switching power supply manufacturers in Taiwan. Established in 1982, it is a TQM (Total Quality Management) company and has been ISO-9001 certified since 1994. The product lines include AC/DC switching power supplies, DC/DC converters, DC/AC inverters and battery chargers. “Total Quality Assurance and Customer Satisfaction” are the central goals of MeanWell. They and Procon Technology believe that the industry is one where reliability, functionality and cost are of great importance, but that it is reliability that differentiates the truly superior product. So, every product in the Mean Well range is the result of rigid procedures governing design, Design Verification Test (DVT), Design Quality Test (DQT), component selection, pilot-run production, and mass production.

What does Mean Well mean to you?
'Mean Well' may be a name that is unfamilar to you. Perhaps you are used to the European or Japanese brandnames below? These are large companies that supply a wide range of electronic products, whereas Mean Well specialize in power supplies 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 is derived 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."

Try Mean Well and Save:
Procon Technology is happy to provide any in-stock power supply to government, semi-government or large Australian company 'on-approval' for evaluation and testing over 30 days.

Meanwell provides a miniumum of 2 years, with DIN rail units - 3 years and the new HRP and HRPG series - 5 years!!!

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 only $1944+GST. 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.
