FAQs

LRS is a compact, cost-effective series with convection cooling. SE is a legacy option with built-in fan but lower efficiency. RSP series is industrial-grade with higher efficiency, power factor correction, remote ON/OFF, and better heat dissipation. RSP is ideal for automation, CNC, and mission-critical panels.

Add a 20–30% headroom to your actual load requirement. For a 120W load, choose a 150W SMPS like LRS-150-24 to ensure thermal stability and lifespan. Mean Well offers models from 5W to 3000W, covering nearly every industrial and OEM use case.

LRS = Series name, 350 = 350W output power, 24 = 24V DC output. So, LRS-350-24 provides 24V at up to 14.6A. Mean Well part numbers are intuitive, helping engineers decode voltage and power quickly.

Most models feature Over Voltage (OVP), Over Load (OLP), Short Circuit (SCP), and Over Temperature Protection (OTP). RSP and TDR series also support remote sensing and DC OK signals for system monitoring.

DIN Rail SMPS like TDR, WDR, and NDR mount easily on TS-35 rails for clean panel layouts. Enclosed SMPS like LRS, SE, and RSP are screw-mountable and suited for base mounting. DIN rail models are preferred in modular or space-constrained cabinets.

Yes. Most Mean Well models meet international safety and EMI standards including CE, UL, CB, CCC, and RoHS. Their wide global approval list makes them ideal for export-grade panels and OEMs.

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) reflects power supply reliability. Mean Well models often exceed 300,000 hours at 25°C, ensuring long life in continuous-use applications. This makes them trusted in automation, telecom, and medical segments.

Absolutely. Mean Well is a go-to brand for wide applications including LED lighting (HLG, ELG series), factory panels (LRS, RSP), telecom (HRP, HEP series), and critical backup with battery chargers (AD, NPB, DRC series).

Mean Well offers:
– High efficiency (up to 94%) and active power factor correction (PFC)
– Redundancy modules, buffer modules, and UPS-ready designs
– Multi-output SMPS and adapter-style models not common in other brands
– Massive product range: over 10,000 models covering 5V to 480V, 5W to 3000W
– Trusted for industrial, medical, LED, automation, and marine use
