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-320-36 for industrial equipment that needs 36V DC?
Yes, this model is designed for 36V DC loads and can supply up to 8.8A with a 316.8W output rating. It is a fit for industrial or embedded equipment that specifically requires a regulated 36V source.
Is the SP-320-36 suitable for a 36V motion, control, or automation system?
It can be used where the system is designed for 36V DC and total demand stays within 316.8W and 8.8A. That makes it relevant for 36V automation hardware, control assemblies, and other DC equipment in that voltage class.
Would this model work for a 36V embedded or industrial electronics platform?
Yes, as long as the platform requires constant voltage 36V input and does not exceed 316.8W or 8.8A. The wide 88-264VAC input also supports use in facilities with different AC mains standards.
Can the SP-320-36 power multiple 36V loads from one supply?
It can support multiple 36V devices if the combined load remains within the 316.8W and 8.8A limits. This can be useful in control cabinets or lab setups where several 36V devices share one DC source.
Is the SP-320-36 suitable for outdoor or washdown environments?
The product data specifies an operating temperature range of -20°C to +65°C, but no IP rating is listed. That means thermal limits are defined, while protection against water or dust ingress is not established in the provided specs.
How does the SP-320-36 compare with other SP-320 models?
The SP-320 series includes models like SP-320-12 (12V, 25A), SP-320-27 (27V, 11.7A), SP-320-36 (36V, 8.8A), and SP-320-48 (48V, 6.7A). The main distinction across these models is the output voltage and the corresponding current available at that voltage.
