MEAN WELL PSP-600-15 is a single-output enclosed AC/DC power supply rated 15 V, 40 A and 600 W. It accepts 88-264 VAC or 124-370 VDC with active PFC and built-in fan cooling. Remote sense, remote ON/OFF, a POK status output and current sharing support system integration; apply the model-specific temperature limits and the parallel-operation conditions.

Model Code and Output Configuration
| PSP-600 |
PSP single-output enclosed AC/DC family with active PFC and parallel current sharing; 600 is a family designation, not every variant’s actual wattage. |
| -15 |
15 V nominal output; complete model PSP-600-15. |
| Configuration |
Built-in remote ON/OFF, remote sense and POK output. No unlisted suffix, digital interface, auxiliary output or programming option is inferred. |
Output Specifications
| Rated output |
15 VDC, 40 A, 600 W. |
| Current range |
0-40 A for individual operation, subject to derating; parallel operation has a minimum-load requirement. |
| Voltage adjustment |
13.5-18 V. |
| Ripple and noise |
240 mVp-p maximum under the measurement conditions below. |
| Accuracy and regulation |
Voltage tolerance ±1.0%; line regulation ±0.5%; load regulation ±0.5%. |
| Timing |
Setup 1500 ms and rise 50 ms at full load; typical hold-up time 20 ms at full load. Unless separately specified, the reference input is 230 VAC. |
Unqualified parameters are measured at 230 VAC, rated load and 25°C ambient. Voltage tolerance includes setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Ripple/noise is measured with 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors in parallel.
Input and Efficiency
| Input |
88-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz, or 124-370 VDC; universal full-range AC input, with low-line derating. |
| Typical efficiency |
85%. |
| Typical power factor |
0.95 at 230 VAC and 0.99 at 115 VAC, at full load. |
| Typical AC current |
6.8 A at 115 VAC; 3.4 A at 230 VAC. |
| Typical inrush / leakage |
Inrush: 20 A at 115 VAC, 40 A at 230 VAC. Leakage: <1.3 mA at 240 VAC. |
The block diagram includes active inrush-current limiting and active PFC. Fixed switching frequencies are 88 kHz for PFC and 100 kHz for PWM.
Protection
| Short circuit / overload |
105-135% of rated output power; constant-current limiting, with automatic recovery after the fault is removed. |
| Overvoltage |
18-21 V; output shuts down and re-powering is required. |
| Overtemperature |
Output shuts down; re-power on to recover. |
Load Derating and Environment
| Ambient range |
-20 to +60°C, with the model-specific horizontal-orientation derating curve. |
| Temperature load limits |
80% load at -20°C, rising to 100% at 0°C; full load from 0 to +45°C, then derating to 60% at +60°C. |
| Low-line load limits |
The 60 Hz input curve shows 80% load at 88 VAC, rising to 100% at 115 VAC; 100% from 115 to 264 VAC. |
| Working / storage humidity |
Working: 20-90% RH. Storage: -40 to +85°C, 10-95% RH. Both are non-condensing. |
| Temperature coefficient / vibration |
±0.03%/°C from 0 to +50°C; vibration 10-500 Hz, 2 G, 10 min/cycle, 60 min each along X, Y and Z. |
| Altitude |
2000 m for CCC; up to 3000 m for UL/TUV. Above 2000 m, reduce allowable ambient temperature by 5°C per additional 1000 m. |
Apply both input-voltage and ambient-temperature limits. The -20 to +60°C working range does not mean continuous full output throughout that range.
Cooling uses a built-in DC fan. The mechanical drawing shows airflow from the terminal end toward the opposite rear end. No numerical fan-speed, fan-stop temperature or external ventilation-clearance requirement is stated in these three pages.
Remote Control, Remote Sense and POK
| Remote ON/OFF |
Short R.C.G terminal 6 to R.C. terminal 7 for power ON; open the same connection for OFF. |
| POK output |
TTL voltage measured between POK terminal 5 (+) and R.C.G terminal 6 (-): 3.3-5.6 V when the supply is ON, 0-1 V when OFF. |
| Remote sense connector CN5 |
Pin 1: RS+ to load positive. Pin 2: RS- to load negative. Use the page 3 remote-sensing wiring diagram. |
POK is the documented DC output-status signal. These pages do not specify its sink/source current limit or an isolation rating; do not assign ratings from another family.
The remote-sense compensation limit, an external PV/PC programming range and an auxiliary-output rating are not specified here. RS+/RS- are sense connections, not load-power terminals.
The ON condition requires the R.C.G/R.C connection above; the catalog does not establish a supplied factory jumper or a separately included control cable.
Parallel Current Sharing
Use no more than 4 units. Minimize the difference between unit output voltages to less than 0.2 V before parallel operation; consult the manufacturer for other arrangements.
Maximum combined current = rated current per unit × number of units × 0.9. The minimum load must be greater than 3% of rated current per unit × number of units. Both limits apply in addition to the input and temperature derating.
For 4 identical PSP-600-15 units, these formulas give a maximum combined current of 144 A and a minimum load strictly greater than 4.8 A, before further applicable derating.
Follow the complete page 3 parallel diagram: main +V and -V outputs, current-share P, R.C.G and corresponding RS+/RS- connections are interconnected as drawn. The load-sense pair is connected only at the master unit; do not run separate remote load-sense pairs from each unit.
The cover’s “up to 2400 W (3+1)” is a family-level current-sharing statement, not an unconditional continuous output or fault-redundancy rating for every voltage model. Use the actual model current, the 0.9 factor and the stated load conditions.

Dimensions, Mounting and Mating Parts
| Body / case |
170 × 120 × 93 mm (L × W × H); case 910A; drawing tolerance ±0.5 mm. |
| Mounting |
M3 mounting holes with 4 mm maximum penetration. The plan-view pattern is 150 × 100 mm and the side-view pattern 150 × 50 mm; use the full drawing for orientation and offsets. |
| Installation envelope |
Drawing depth including the terminal-side extension is 185 mm; the terminal projection is marked 14 mm maximum. These are distinct from the 170 mm body length. |
| Terminal pitch |
Upper AC/control strip: 8 mm; lower DC output strip: 9.5 mm. The drawing also marks 11.5 mm end offsets. |
| CN5 connector references |
Two positions. Onboard connector: JST B-XH or equivalent; mating housing: JST XHP or equivalent; contact: JST SXH-001T or equivalent. |
The mounting-hole 4 mm limit is penetration into the enclosure, not overall screw length. Allow for mounting-material thickness; no mounting torque, power-terminal thread/torque or main load-wire gauge is specified in these pages.
The CN5 header and housing references are printed in shortened form. Do not invent an expanded order code or assume a cable/contact kit is included. No dedicated bracket, terminal-cover or full cable order code or quantity is given in this section.

The EMC list retains the printed GB9245 reference. Confirm the applicable certificate/standard edition for the intended installation rather than treating a catalog list as an equipment certificate.
The supply is a component. The published EMC setup mounts it on a 360 × 360 mm metal plate, 1 mm thick; final equipment must be checked again for EMC compliance. MTBF is a reliability-model reference, not guaranteed service life.
The manufacturer datasheet lists a 3-year warranty for PSP-600, subject to the applicable manufacturer terms.
