January 17, 2013 by Jeff Shepard

After launching ac-dc miniature green open-frame type switching power supplies from 25 to 300 W, Mean Well has introduced the EPS-15 series (15W), to make this product line more complete. With extremely low no load power consumption (<0.3W), EPS-15 series have advantages of compact size, high efficiency, and cost efficient. Comparing to the first generation of PCB type with the same wattage, the PS-15 series, their PCB size is reduced by 37% to 1.8" x 2.5", the working efficiency are increased by 2 to 8%, and the warranty is extended from 2 years to 3 years.

With up-to-date high-efficiency circuit design, EPS-15 series possess up to 85% efficiency. Hence, they can be cooled by free air convection from -30° to +70° ambient temperature that required for operating in a closed system. Complete protection functions include short circuit, overload, and over voltage. In addition, these new power units feature with extremely low no-load power consumption (<0. 3W), which allows the designers easily conform to the requirements of ErP norm (Energy-related Products) and ENERGY STAR for end systems.

These new series comply with certificates per UL/CUL/TUV/CB/CE which can greatly guarantee your safety. Suitable applications include factory automation, electrical or mechanical equipment, and all usage that requires low no load power consumption. They operate from a universal ac input 85-264Vac and feature a 24mm low profile.
