Exact Model and Output Ratings
Complete model
MSP-450-24: MSP-450 single-output enclosed medical-type AC/DC power supply; -24 identifies the nominal 24 VDC output. Catalogue revision 2025-12-05.
Rated output
24 VDC; 18.8 A; 451.2 W. Current range: 0–18.8 A. These are the exact model ratings, subject to the derating limits below.
Output voltage adjustment
21.6–28.8 V using SVR. Observe the rated current and rated power limits when adjusting output voltage.
Ripple and noise
150 mVp-p maximum; measured with 20 MHz bandwidth, a 12-inch twisted pair and 0.1 µF + 47 µF parallel capacitors.
Voltage accuracy
Voltage tolerance ±1.0%; line regulation ±0.2%; load regulation ±0.5%. Tolerance includes setup, line and load regulation.
Typical efficiency
88%, at the catalogue default test conditions.
Unless otherwise stated, specifications are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. The family name is not a substitute for this exact model’s output rating.
Input and Timing
Normal input range
85–264 VAC or 120–370 VDC; AC frequency 47–63 Hz. Apply low-input derating.
Active PFC
Typical PF >0.95 at 230 VAC and >0.99 at 115 VAC, both at full load.
Typical AC current
5 A at 115 VAC; 2.4 A at 230 VAC.
Inrush / surge withstand
Typical inrush 35 A at 115 VAC and 70 A at 230 VAC. Active inrush-current limiting is shown in the block diagram. Withstands 300 VAC surge input for 5 seconds; 300 VAC is not the continuous input rating.
Setup / rise time
1000 ms / 100 ms at 230 VAC; 2500 ms / 100 ms at 115 VAC, at full load.
Hold-up time
16 ms typical at 230 VAC and 16 ms typical at 115 VAC, at full load.
No-load consumption
The feature list states no-load input power below 0.6 W. Note 6 specifies below 0.5 W with the main output remotely OFF: RC+ to RC− at 0–0.8 V or shorted.
Setup time is measured at the first cold start. Repeated ON/OFF switching may increase setup time.
Below 40 VAC, the catalogue warns of possible performance degradation and requires the final-equipment manufacturer to reconfirm basic safety and essential performance. This is an abnormal low-input condition, not an extension of the normal 85–264 VAC operating range.
Medical Isolation, Leakage and Approval Scope
Medical isolation level
Primary-to-secondary: 2 × MOOP; primary-to-earth: 1 × MOOP. Secondary-to-earth: 1 × MOOP. MOOP stands for means of operator protection.
Leakage at 264 VAC
Earth leakage <300 µA; touch leakage <100 µA.
Listed safety approvals
IEC60601-1:2005+A1+A2; ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005+A2; CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60601-1:2014+A2; EAC TP TC004.
Design references by request
BS EN/EN60335-1 and BS EN/EN62368-1 are listed as design references, by request.
Withstand voltage
Input-to-output: 4 kVAC; input-to-FG: 2 kVAC; output-to-FG: 0.5 kVAC.
Insulation resistance
100 MΩ minimum for input/output, input/FG and output/FG, tested at 500 VDC, 25°C and 70% RH.
The stated insulation classification is MOOP. These pages do not establish a MOPP patient-protection rating or certify the completed medical equipment. Match the required insulation, leakage, grounding and final-system safety evaluation to the intended application.
Protection and Cooling
Short circuit / overload
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload threshold: 105–135% of rated output power, using constant-current limiting; automatic recovery after the fault is removed.
Overvoltage
30–34.8 V threshold for this model; shuts down the output, with re-powering required to recover.
Overtemperature
Shuts down the output; automatic recovery after temperature falls.
Controlled cooling fan
Built-in fan ON/OFF control: fan turns on at a typical load threshold of 20 ±10%, or when internal thermistor RTH2 reaches at least 50°C. RTH2 is not the ambient-temperature rating.
Ambient derating
Horizontal mounting: 100% load from −40°C to +50°C, decreasing linearly to 50% at +70°C. The operating range is −40°C to +70°C, subject to this curve.
Input-voltage derating
At 60 Hz, the curve rises from 80% load at 85 VAC to 100% at 100 VAC, then remains at 100% through 264 VAC.
Altitude derating
For this fan-cooled model, reduce the allowed ambient temperature by 5°C per additional 1000 m above 2000 m.
Apply input-voltage, temperature and output-rating limits together. Keep the indicated fan inlet/outlet and surrounding airflow path unobstructed; verify cooling in the final enclosure. No numerical mounting-clearance distance is specified in these catalogue pages.
Standby, Remote Control and DC OK
Standby output
5 V, 0.3 A maximum; tolerance ±5% (4.75–5.25 V), ripple 50 mVp-p maximum. AUX is not switched by the main-output remote ON/OFF control.
Standby reference
AUX pin 3 returns to AUXG pin 4. AUXG is isolated from the main +V/−V terminals; do not substitute the DC-OK ground.
Remote ON/OFF
Between RC+ pin 1 and RC− pin 2: 4–10 V or open contact = power ON; 0–0.8 V or short contact = power OFF.
DC-OK signal
DC-OK pin 5 is referenced to GND pin 6, which connects to main −V. TTL high when the PSU is ON: 3.3–5.6 V; OFF: 0–1 V.
Remote sense
Connect +S pin 7 to the positive load terminal and −S pin 8 to the negative load terminal. Twist +S and −S together; maximum line-drop compensation is 0.5 V.
Use the complete function and connection drawings on PDF page 12. DC-OK is a TTL status output, not a dry relay contact; no additional contact-current or sourcing-current rating is specified here.
The documented functions for this family are standby, remote ON/OFF, DC OK and remote sense. No active current-sharing or parallel-unit count is specified for these models.
