Test conditions and notes5
- 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. 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 http://www.meanwell.com)
- 5. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.

FAQ
Can I use the SP-240-15 for 15V industrial or automation equipment?
Yes, this model provides a constant 15V output rated for 240W and 16A. It fits 15V industrial, embedded, and automation loads that need a fixed 15V source within those electrical limits.
Is the SP-240-15 suitable for a 15V electronics rack or OEM machine subsystem?
It can be used in OEM or rack-mounted equipment when the connected 15V load does not exceed 16A. The compact dimensions of 190.0 × 93.0 × 50.0 mm can also matter where enclosure space is limited.
Would the SP-240-15 work for a 15V test fixture or burn-in station?
Yes, provided the fixture or station requires regulated 15V DC and remains within the 240W maximum output. The unit is designed as a single-output supply rather than a multi-output bench supply.
Can this model handle higher-demand 15V loads than smaller 15V units in the same series?
Yes, it delivers 240W at 15V and 16A, which is higher than the SP-100-15 at 100.5W and 6.7A. That makes it more appropriate when a 15V application needs substantially more current capacity.
Is the SP-240-15 suitable for cold or hot operating environments?
Its specified operating temperature range is -20°C to +70°C. No IP rating is provided here, so the specs do not define outdoor or water-exposed use.
