FAQFAQ

What is LVLE ? If the power supplies can meet LVLE, what is the benefit for the end product?2020-08-17: According from UL8750 definition below: a. 0-30Vdc output voltage: Maximum 8 amps b. 30-60Vdc output voltage: 150/V amps If the power supplies can meet LVLE , the end product does not need the fire enclosure.

What is LPS ? If the power supplies can meet LPS, what is the benefit for the end product?2020-08-17: The requirement of LPS is from IEC60950. It means the product output shall not exceed 60V/8A/100W under the normal and abnormal condition. If the power supplies can meet LPS , the end product does not need the fire enclosure.

What is SELV for information products?2020-08-17: This regulation applies to the secondary circuitry. The circuit should be designed to guarantee that under normal operating conditions, the voltage between any two touchable points should be less than 42.4Vpeak or 60Vdc. For class I equipment, it refers to between any touchable point and the ground. Under single fault conditions, the voltages between any two conductors of the SELV circuit and between any one such conductor and earth shall not exceed 42.4V peak or 60Vdc for a period longer than 0.2 seconds. Moreover, a limit of 71V peak or 120Vdc shall not be exceeded. According to requirements below, MW SPSs can comply with SELV. IEC 60950-1 (ITE SPS): voltage of o/p circuit is less than 60Vdc under normal condition. IEC 61347-2-13 (LED SPS): voltage of o/p circuit is less than 120Vdc under normal condition.

What is class 2, class II and LPS? What is the difference between class I and class II?2020-08-17: Class I: Equipment where protection against electric shock is achieved by using basic insulation and also providing a means of connecting to the protective earth conductor in the building where by routing those conductive parts that are otherwise capable of assuming hazardous voltages to earth ground if the basic insulation fails. This means a class I SPS will provide a terminal/pin for earth ground connection.

What is different between information (EN60950-1) and medical (EN60601-1) safety standard?2020-08-17: According to safety standard, the leakage current in EN60950-1 Class I cannot exceed 3.5mA; in EN60601-1 cannot exceed 0.3mA. Others criteria like safe distance and numbers of fuse are also different. Please consult the diagram below:

Will MEAN WELL's products with CE marking meet the EMC requirements after assembling into my system?2020-08-17: We cannot guarantee 100％ that the final system can still meet the EMC requirements. The location, wiring and grounding of the switching power supply in the system may influence its EMC characteristics. In different environment or applications, the same switching power supply may have different outcomes. Our test results are based on setup shown in the EMC report.

Why the input voltage marked on the spec. sheet is 88~264 VAC while the label on the power supply says that it is 100~240VAC?2020-08-17: During safety verification process, the agency will use a stricter standard ±10％(IEC60950 uses +6％, -10％) of the input voltage range labeled on the power supply to conduct the test. So, operating at the wider input voltage range as specified on the spec. sheet should be fine. The narrower range of input voltage labeled on the power supply is to fulfill the test standard of safety regulation and make sure that users insert input voltage correctly.
