Test conditions and notes7
- 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 voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 5. 33% Duty cycle maximum within every 30 seconds. Average output power should not exceed the rated power.
- 6. 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 360mm*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 )
- 7. 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
Can I use the EPS-45-15-C in a 15V automation or control cabinet application?
Yes, if the equipment is designed for constant-voltage 15V DC and the total load stays within 3A and 45W. It fits low-power automation and control electronics that need a regulated 15V rail from a 90-264VAC input.
Is the EPS-45-15-C suitable for 15V measurement or laboratory electronics?
It can be suitable for test or measurement assemblies when the load requires 15V DC and does not exceed 45W. The key fit is a fixed 15V constant-voltage requirement with up to 3A available.
Can this model power 15V analog boards or signal interface modules?
Yes, provided the combined 15V load remains at or below 3A and 45W. That makes it appropriate for low-power analog and interface electronics built around a 15V DC input.
Would the EPS-45-15-C work for an IT or telecom subassembly that needs 15V DC?
It can work when the subassembly is specified for 15V DC and stays within 45W. Its constant-voltage output is intended for equipment that calls for a fixed 15V rail rather than another output voltage.
Is the EPS-45-15-C suitable for outdoor or wide-temperature operation?
The published operating range is -30°C to +70°C, subject to the output load derating curve at higher temperatures. No IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so the data does not confirm exposed outdoor, washdown, or wet-location use.
How does the EPS-45-15-C compare with other 15V EPS models?
On this spec sheet, the other 15V option is the EPS-45-15, and both are rated 45W and 3A. Compared with EPS-45-15, the output is the same, while EPS-45-15-C is 103.4 × 62.0 × 37.0 mm and 0.3 kg versus 101.6 × 50.8 × 29.0 mm and 0.14 kg for EPS-45-15.
