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
What industrial applications are suited to the RSP-1500-15's 1500W 15V output?
The RSP-1500-15 delivers 15V at 100A (1500W) and is designed for high-current 15V bus systems such as large servo drive auxiliary rails, automated assembly line actuator panels, and industrial computing infrastructure requiring substantial 15V DC power. The 90–264VAC input supports worldwide single-phase supply.
Can multiple RSP-1500-15 units be paralleled for higher current?
Yes. The RSP-1500-15 has built-in active current sharing for up to 6000W or (3+1) units. With total current limited to rated current × number of units × 0.9, three units deliver up to 270A at 15V, with a fourth unit providing the +1 redundancy. Load balancing between paralleled units is automatic.
How does the RSP-1500-15 compare to other RSP-1500 voltage variants?
The RSP-1500 series voltage options are: 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). All share the 278.0 × 127.0 × 83.5 mm chassis, 90–264VAC input and -20°C to +70°C operating range. The 15V variant provides 100A output at 1500W.
What is the temperature range of the RSP-1500-15 and how does it compare to the RSP-1000 series?
The RSP-1500-15 is rated from -20°C to +70°C ambient, with load derating at higher temperatures according to the derating curve. The RSP-1500 datasheet does not cover the RSP-1000 series; check that series' own datasheet for a comparison.
What certifications does the RSP-1500-15 carry?
The RSP-1500-15 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. Note that CCC (China) is not listed for the RSP-1500 series, which may affect deployment in mainland China.
