Information about the HEP-480-24A
The MEAN WELL HEP-480-24A is a high-performance 480W industrial AC/DC power supply engineered for extraordinary reliability in harsh, demanding operational environments. Constructed with a rugged aluminum casing and fully potted in heat-conductive silicone, this power supply achieves an IP65 ingress protection rating and easily handles extreme dust, humidity, oil exposure, vibration up to 10G, and high-altitude deployments up to 5,000 meters. The "A-Type" standard model provides internal potentiometers that allow flexible adjustment of both the output voltage (20.4 – 25.2V) and current limit levels (10 – 20A).
Designed with state-of-the-art active PFC and high-efficiency circuitry operating up to 94.5%, the HEP-480-24A uses fanless convection cooling to operate reliably across a wide ambient temperature range from −55 °C to +65 °C. It incorporates comprehensive protection against short circuits, overloads (via constant current limiting), over-voltage, and over-temperature. Well-suited for critical applications including outdoor telecommunications, electronic billboards, petroleum processing plants, and mining operations, the unit comes with a 6-year manufacturer warranty.
