Model-Specific DC Output
| Complete model |
ENP-180-12; 12 is the nominal-voltage model code. |
| DC output voltage |
13.8 V. |
| Rated output current |
13 A; rated-load current range 0–13 A. |
| Rated output power |
179 W for this exact model, subject to input and temperature derating. |
| Peak output current / power |
16.3 A / 225 W, for up to 3 seconds. |
| Voltage adjustment range |
11.5–15 V using the rear adjustment control. |
| Ripple and noise, maximum |
150 mVp-p under the stated measurement conditions. |
| Voltage tolerance |
±1.0%; includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. |
| Line regulation |
±0.5%; low line to high line at rated load. |
| Load regulation |
±2.0%; measured from 0% to 100% rated load. |
| Typical efficiency |
91% under the default specification test conditions. |
The series provides 125% peak-load capability, with the exact model’s peak current and power shown above. Limit peak operation to 3 seconds and observe both current and power limits. The adjustable voltage range does not increase the rated current or available continuous power.
Input, Timing and Efficiency
| Input voltage / frequency |
90–264 VAC or 127–370 VDC; AC frequency 47–63 Hz. |
| AC inlet / grounding |
Three-contact AC inlet is shown at the rear. The block diagram identifies a frame-ground (FG) connection. |
| Power-factor correction |
Built-in active PFC; typical PF >0.98 at 115 VAC and >0.95 at 230 VAC, at full load. |
| Typical AC input current |
1.9 A at 115 VAC; 0.95 A at 230 VAC. |
| Typical cold-start inrush |
70 A at 230 VAC. |
| Leakage current |
Less than 3.5 mA at 240 VAC. |
| No-load power consumption |
Less than 0.15 W. |
| Set-up / rise time |
1000 / 100 ms at full load. Set-up time is measured at a cold first start; rapid switching OFF and ON may increase it. |
| Typical hold-up time |
20 ms at full load. |
| Catalogue energy-efficiency statements |
Level VI; the catalogue states compliance with EISA 2007/DoE, NRCan and EU ErP. |
Protection Functions
| Short circuit |
Constant-current limiting; automatic recovery after the fault is removed. |
| Overload, 110–125% of rated power |
If the peak-load condition continues beyond 3 seconds, the supply switches to constant-current limiting; automatic recovery after that load condition is removed. |
| Overload above 125% of rated power |
Constant-current limiting, with automatic recovery after the overload is removed. |
| Overvoltage |
15.5–18.2 V; output shutdown, followed by re-powering to recover. |
| Overtemperature |
Output shutdown; automatic recovery after temperature decreases. |
Protection operation does not extend the 3-second peak rating or the permitted continuous load.
Cooling, Environment and Derating
| Cooling / orientation |
Fanless free-air convection; the load-temperature curve is specified for horizontal installation. Keep ventilation openings and the surrounding air path unobstructed. |
| Working temperature |
-30°C to +70°C, with load derating. |
| Horizontal thermal curve |
100% rated load from -30°C to +50°C; reduce along the plotted line to 60% at +70°C. |
| Input-voltage load curve |
At 60 Hz: 90% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 100 VAC and remaining at 100% through 264 VAC, before temperature derating. |
| Above 2000 m |
For this fanless model, reduce the permissible ambient temperature by 3.5°C per additional 1000 m, as directed by the altitude note. |
| Working humidity |
20–95% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage temperature / humidity |
-40°C to +85°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.05%/°C from 0°C to +50°C. |
| Vibration |
10–500 Hz, 2 G; 10-minute cycle, 60 minutes each along X, Y and Z. |
Apply the input-voltage and ambient-temperature limits together. The stated temperature range is not a full-load rating at every temperature.

Measurement Conditions
Unless otherwise stated, parameters are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Ripple and noise use 20 MHz bandwidth with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
