Test conditions and notes8
- 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. TSW1: Detect on heatsink of power transistor. TSW2: Detect on heatsink of output diode.
- 5. 33% Duty cycle maximum within every 30 minute. Average output power should not exceed the rated power.
- 6. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 7. 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)
- 8. 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 SP-480-48 for 48V industrial or telecom-style DC equipment?
Yes, this model provides a single 48V output rated for 480W and 10A. It fits systems that are specifically designed around a 48V DC power bus.
Is the SP-480-48 suitable for 48V automation, networking, or control hardware?
It can support 48V DC loads up to 480W total with up to 10A output current. That makes it appropriate for higher-power 48V industrial and electronic equipment.
Can this power supply be used for 48V devices in embedded or machine-control applications?
Yes, if the load requires 48V DC, the SP-480-48 offers up to 10A from a single output. Its 85-264VAC input range also supports operation across a wide AC input range.
Does the SP-480-48 have specs that support outdoor use?
The listed operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C. No IP rating is included in the provided specs, so the available product data does not confirm outdoor or wet-location suitability.
What are the main differences between the SP-480-48 and the other SP-480 models?
The SP-480-48 is rated for 480W at 48V and 10A. Other listed SP-480 versions are SP-480-12 at 480W, 12V, 40A; SP-480-15 at 480W, 15V, 32A; SP-480-24 at 480W, 24V, 20A; SP-480-3.3 at 280.5W, 3.3V, 85A; and SP-480-5 at 425W, 5V, 85A.
