Test conditions and notes6
  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. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
  5. 5. 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)
  6. 6. 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 27V DC systems justify using the RSP-1500-27?

The RSP-1500-27 delivers 27V at 56A (1512W) and is suited for high-current 27V bus applications such as high-power telecommunications infrastructure and industrial machinery with 27V specification rails. The 90–264VAC input covers all standard single-phase supply voltages.

Can the RSP-1500-27 be used in parallel for N+1 redundancy?

Yes. The RSP-1500-27 has built-in active current sharing for up to 6000W or (3+1) units. Per the datasheet, total output current must not exceed rated current × number of units × 0.9, so three units deliver up to 151.2A at 27V, with a fourth unit providing the +1 redundancy.

How does the RSP-1500-27 compare to the RSP-1500-24 and RSP-1500-48?

RSP-1500 voltage variants: RSP-1500-5 (1200W/5V/240A), RSP-1500-12 (1500W/12V/125A), RSP-1500-15 (1500W/15V/100A), RSP-1500-24 (1512W/24V/63A), RSP-1500-27 (1512W/27V/56A), RSP-1500-48 (1536W/48V/32A). The RSP-1500-27 delivers 27V/56A/1512W in the same 278 × 127 × 83.5 mm chassis and 90–264VAC input as the RSP-1500-24, with the same 90% typical efficiency and a 16ms hold-up time (14ms on the 24V model). The RSP-1500-48 at 1536W is slightly higher wattage at a lower current.

What is the temperature range and IP status of the RSP-1500-27?

The RSP-1500-27 operates from -20°C to +70°C ambient, with load derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve. No IP ingress rating is provided, so the unit should be installed inside a suitable enclosure for dusty or wet environments.

What certifications does the RSP-1500-27 hold?

The RSP-1500-27 is approved to UL62368-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 62368-1, TUV BS EN/EN62368-1, BSMI CNS15598-1, AS/NZS62368.1 and EAC TP TC 004. CCC (China) is not listed on the RSP-1500 datasheet.
