MEAN WELL MSP-1000-12 is a single-output enclosed medical AC/DC power supply rated at 12 V, 80 A and 960 W. It supports a maximum 1000 W for 3 seconds; 960 W remains the continuous rating. Active current sharing is available under the specified parallel-operation limits. Select the load using the output rating and both ambient-temperature and input-voltage derating curves.

Model and Output
| Complete model |
MSP-1000-12 |
| Model code |
MSP identifies the series; 1000 is the power-class designation; 12 identifies the nominal DC output voltage. Use the actual rating below for this model. |
| Rated DC output |
12 V / 80 A / 960 W |
| Current range |
0–80 A |
| Built-in voltage adjustment |
11–14 V, using SVR1; respect the rated current and power limits. |
| Ripple and noise |
150 mVp-p maximum; 20 MHz bandwidth; 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. |
| Voltage tolerance |
±2.0%, including setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. |
| Line / load regulation |
±0.5% / ±2.0% |
| Efficiency |
91.5% typical under the stated measurement conditions. |
Unless otherwise stated, specifications are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient.
Maximum output power is 1000 W for 3 seconds; do not treat this short-duration figure as the continuous output rating.
Input and Startup
| Input range |
90–264 VAC, 127–370 VDC; universal AC input with active PFC. The low-line curve limits usable output. |
| Frequency / surge tolerance |
47–63 Hz; withstands 300 VAC surge input for 5 seconds. |
| Power factor |
PF >0.95 at 230 VAC and >0.98 at 115 VAC, typical at full load. |
| Input current |
8.5 A at 115 VAC / 5 A at 230 VAC, typical. |
| Inrush current |
20 A at 115 VAC / 40 A at 230 VAC, typical; active inrush-current limiting is shown in the block diagram. |
| Setup / rise time |
1000 ms / 50 ms at 230 VAC; 2000 ms / 50 ms at 115 VAC, at full load. |
| Hold-up time |
16 ms at 230 VAC and 16 ms at 115 VAC, typical at full load. |
Setup time is measured at the first cold start; repeated power cycling can increase it. Below 40 VAC, performance may degrade and the final-equipment manufacturer must reconfirm basic safety and essential performance; this note does not extend the rated input range.
Protection
| Short circuit / overload |
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload threshold: 105–135% of rated output power; constant-current limiting with automatic recovery after the fault is removed. |
| Over-voltage protection |
14.5–16.5 V; output shuts down and requires re-powering to recover. |
| Over-temperature protection |
Output shuts down and automatically recovers after temperature decreases. |
Remote Control, Standby and DC-OK
| Remote ON/OFF |
CN100 pin 3 (RC+) to pin 4 (RC-): short = ON; open = OFF. |
| Remote-off no-load consumption |
<0.75 W with RC+ and RC- open. |
| Standby auxiliary output |
5 V / 0.3 A; 4.75–5.25 V, ±5% tolerance, 50 mVp-p maximum ripple. AUX pin 2 is referenced to AUXG pin 1 and is not switched off by remote ON/OFF. |
| DC-OK signal |
TTL output, referenced to CN100 GND pin 6 or 8: 3.3–5.6 V when the supply is ON; 0–1 V when OFF. |
| Remote sense |
Up to 0.5 V load-wiring drop compensation. Connect +S pin 9 to load positive and -S pin 10 to load negative; twist the sense pair to minimize pickup. |
CN100 Control Connector
| Pin 1 — AUXG |
Auxiliary-output ground. |
| Pin 2 — AUX |
Auxiliary voltage output, referenced to pin 1; 0.3 A maximum. |
| Pins 3 / 4 — RC+ / RC- |
Remote-control input and return: short = ON; open = OFF. |
| Pin 5 — CS |
Current-share signal; interconnect CS pins when using the supported parallel arrangement. |
| Pins 6 / 8 — GND |
Connected to output -V; DC-OK signal return. |
| Pin 7 — DC-OK |
TTL status signal, HIGH when the supply turns on; referenced to pin 8. |
| Pins 9 / 10 — +S / -S |
Positive and negative remote sense; connect as shown in the model-specific wiring diagram. |
Parallel Operation
Use short, large-diameter output wiring. Maximum total parallel current = rated current per unit × number of units × 0.9. Up to four units are shown; follow the complete manufacturer interconnection diagram, including CS, GND and sense wiring.
The output-voltage difference between parallel units must be less than 0.2 V. Below 5% of the total rated current, current sharing may not be fully balanced. The catalogue describes the family as up to 4000 W (3+1), but the model-specific current formula and derating limits still apply.
Cooling, Derating and Environment
| Temperature and load |
The specification lists -40 to +70°C subject to the derating curve. Horizontal mounting, 12/15 V branch: 100% load through +50°C, declining to 60% at +60°C; the plotted branch ends at +60°C. |
| Input-voltage derating |
At 60 Hz, the input curve rises from 80% load at 90 VAC to 100% at 200 VAC, remaining at 100% through 264 VAC. |
| Cooling / fan control |
Built-in cooling fan with ON/OFF control by internal NTC RT50 or 30% load minimum, as stated in the specification. The catalogue does not give a numeric ambient switching temperature for this sensor. |
| Working humidity |
20–90% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage |
-40 to +85°C and 10–95% RH, non-condensing. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. |
| Vibration |
10–500 Hz, 5 G; 10 minutes per cycle and 60 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis. |
| Altitude derating |
For this fan-cooled supply, reduce the permissible ambient temperature by 5°C per additional 1000 m above 2000 m (6500 ft), as specified in the catalogue note. |
Temperature and low-input-voltage limits apply together; the upper working-temperature figure does not mean full rated power is available at every input voltage.
