Test conditions and notes6
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25 of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 5. 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).
- 6. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the ClassⅠ(with FG) EMC test are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. 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 )

FAQ
Can I use the EPP-500-48 for 48V telecom or network equipment?
Yes, if the equipment is designed for constant 48V DC input. This model provides up to 6.7A (321.6W) with convection cooling, or up to 10.4A (499.2W) with 25CFM forced-air cooling.
Is the EPP-500-48 suitable for 48V industrial control or communication systems?
It can support 48V industrial, IT, or embedded equipment when the full load stays within 6.7A and 321.6W with convection cooling, or 10.4A and 499.2W with 25CFM forced air. The wide 80-264VAC input range is useful for equipment deployed across different AC supply conditions.
Can this 48V model be used in a compact embedded or OEM platform?
It can fit compact assemblies that need a 48V AC-DC supply and can accommodate 127.0 x 76.2 x 41.0 mm. The unit weighs 0.46 kg and uses constant voltage operation.
Is the EPP-500-48 appropriate for outdoor or washdown environments?
The product is rated for operation from -30C to +70C, with output derating at higher ambient temperatures per the derating curve. No IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so the safer reading is protected indoor use or installation inside a suitable enclosure rather than exposed outdoor or washdown areas.
How does the EPP-500-48 compare to the other EPP-500 outputs?
With convection cooling, the EPP-500 family is listed as 12V at 26.7A and 320.4W, 15V at 21.3A and 319.5W, 18V at 17.8A and 320.4W, 24V at 13.4A and 321W, 27V at 11.9A and 321.3W, 36V at 8.9A and 320.4W, 48V at 6.7A and 321.6W, and 54V at 5.93A and 320.2W. The 48V version is one of the higher-voltage options, so its current rating is lower than the 12V through 36V models while remaining in the same overall power range; with 25CFM forced air it delivers 10.4A and 499.2W.
