RS-15-24 datasheet by Mean Well

RS-15-24 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum ambient temperature for the RS-15-24?
  The maximum ambient temperature for the RS-15-24 is 40°C (104°F) at 100% load, and 60°C (140°F) at 50% load.
• Can I use the RS-15-24 in a high-humidity environment?
  Yes, the RS-15-24 is designed to operate in humid environments, but it's recommended to keep the relative humidity below 90% to prevent condensation.
• What is the minimum load requirement for the RS-15-24?
  The RS-15-24 requires a minimum load of 10% to maintain stability and regulation. If the load is less than 10%, the output voltage may not be regulated.
• Can I parallel multiple RS-15-24 units for higher power?
  No, the RS-15-24 is not designed for parallel operation. Connecting multiple units in parallel may cause instability and reduce reliability.
• What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of the RS-15-24?
  The MTBF of the RS-15-24 is approximately 550,000 hours at 25°C (77°F) ambient temperature, calculated according to MIL-HDBK-217F.
