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 0.1uf & 47uf 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 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. 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 RCP-1000-24 for 24V industrial automation equipment?
Yes, it is well aligned with 24V automation systems because it provides constant voltage output at 24V and 40A. With a 960W power rating, it is intended for larger 24V control, motion-support, or industrial electronics loads.
Is the RCP-1000-24 suitable for 24V PLC and control cabinet power distribution?
It can suit centralized 24V DC distribution in larger control panels where a high-current source is required. The 40A output rating and programmable output voltage make it relevant for industrial control platforms that standardize on 24V.
Would this model work for 24V embedded or edge computing systems in a rack?
Yes, it can fit rack-based embedded or edge systems that use a 24V DC bus, especially where compact front-end power modules are preferred. Its enclosure is 295.0 × 127.0 × 41.0 mm, and the features include hot swap support for serviceable power shelves.
Can the RCP-1000-24 be used in parallel power architectures?
Yes, the unit supports active current sharing up to 3000W for one 19" rack shelf, so it is designed for multi-module systems as well as single-supply use. That makes it practical for industrial or IT systems that may need expandable 24V power capacity.
How does the RCP-1000-24 compare with the other RCP variants listed here?
At the 1000 class, the listed options are RCP-1000-12 at 720W 12V 60A, RCP-1000-12-C at 1000W 12V 60A, and RCP-1000-48 at 1008W 48V 21A alongside this 960W 24V 40A model. Higher-output siblings are RCP-1600-12 at 1500W 12V 125A, RCP-1600-24 at 1608W 24V 67A, RCP-1600-48 at 1608W 48V 33.5A, RCP-1UT at 3000W 12V 60A, RCP-2000-12 at 1200W 12V 100A, RCP-2000-24 at 1920W 24V 80A, and RCP-2000-48 at 2016W 48V 42A; other listed siblings are RCP-1U, RCP-1UI, and RCP-MU. This model is the 24V, 40A option in the 1000 series group.
Is the RCP-1000-24 meant for indoor use only?
The specified operating range is -20°C to +60°C, which is useful for planning deployment in demanding equipment environments. No IP rating is given, so the provided specs do not confirm suitability for direct outdoor exposure.
