Test conditions and notes10
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Peak current or peak power up to 3 seconds is provided.
- 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 5. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
- 6. Load regulation is measured from 0% to 100% rated load.
- 7. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply very quickly may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 8. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 9. The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the 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 )
- 10. 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
What applications is the Mean Well ENP-180-12 best suited for?
The ENP-180-12 is designed for 13.8V DC applications that need up to 13A of output current, with a rated output power of 179W. It is a practical fit for desktop or portable setups where a regulated 13.8V power supply or charger format is required. Buyers should match their load to the 13.8V output and stay within the rated 179W / 13A capacity.
What are the key output and input specifications of the ENP-180-12?
This model provides a 13.8V DC output (adjustable from 11.5 to 15V) at up to 13A, for a rated output power of 179W. On the input side, it accepts a universal 90 to 264VAC range and also supports 127 to 370VDC input. That wide input range makes it suitable for use across different AC supply regions.
Is the ENP-180-12 suitable for energy-efficient applications?
Yes. The ENP-180-12 is rated to Energy Efficiency Level VI and has no-load power consumption below 0.15W. Its typical efficiency is 91%, which matters for buyers prioritizing lower standby losses.
Can the ENP-180-12 be used in demanding temperature conditions?
This model is specified for operation from -30°C to +70°C, which is a wide working temperature range for a desktop power supply. Output derating applies at higher ambient temperatures, so refer to the derating curve on the datasheet. Actual suitability still depends on the full system environment and available airflow.
What protection and compliance features does the ENP-180-12 include?
The ENP-180-12 includes protection for short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature. It also supports 125% peak load capability and uses constant current limiting with auto-recovery after the overload condition is removed. For compliance, it is approved to IEC62368-1, UL62368-1, EAC TP TC 004, and meets BS EN/EN62368-1, with EMC coverage including EN55032 Class B.
How do I know if the ENP-180-12 is compatible with my equipment?
The main compatibility checks are output voltage, current demand, and power requirement. This unit is intended for equipment that needs 13.8V DC and draws no more than 13A or 179W. It is not a universal replacement for devices that require a different output voltage, even if their power requirement is similar.
