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. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
5. Please refer to suggested Application 2.(2)、(3) in page 3.
6. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. 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 PSC-160B for a 27.6V battery-backed industrial control system?

Yes, this unit provides constant-voltage 27.6V output and includes a UPS function, which suits battery-backed industrial control systems designed around a 27.6V DC rail. It is rated 160W, with 3.8A for the load plus a 2A battery charger output.

Is the PSC-160B a fit for 27.6V automation or process equipment that needs more capacity than the 100W version?

It can be, because this model is rated for 160W at 27.6V, with 3.8A on the load output plus 2A for battery charging. This datasheet covers only the PSC-160 models, so check the 100W version on its own sheet; the PSC-160B suits 27.6V automation or process loads that stay within 3.8A.

Would the PSC-160B work for communications or monitoring systems on a 27.6V backup rail?

Yes, if the equipment is designed for a 27.6V constant-voltage source and its total demand does not exceed 160W or 3.8A. The UPS function is relevant for standby communications, monitoring, or supervisory systems that need battery-backed continuity.

Can the PSC-160B be used in globally deployed equipment with varying AC input?

It is suitable for systems that need wide AC input compatibility because it accepts 90-264VAC. The DC output is set at 27.6V (adjustable 24-29V) with a 3.8A rated load current.

How does the PSC-160B compare with the other PSC charging models?

The PSC-160B is the PCB-type 27.6V model (152.4x76.2x32mm); the PSC-160B-C is the same unit enclosed with L-bracket and cover (155.4x85x37mm). Both are rated 160W, 3.8A for the load plus 2A charging, at 90% efficiency. The 13.8V PSC-160A and PSC-160A-C provide 7.6A plus 4A charging at 88% efficiency. Smaller PSC models are not covered by this datasheet.

Is the PSC-160B suitable for outdoor use or only indoor environments with temperature variation?

The operating temperature range is -20°C to +70°C, which supports use in environments with substantial temperature variation. No IP rating is listed in the provided specifications, so the product data does not establish outdoor enclosure protection.
