MEAN WELL QP-150-3C is a quad-output AC/DC power supply with CH1 5 V, CH2 3.3 V, CH3 15 V, CH4 -15 V and a maximum rated combined output of 152 W. Active PFC, full-range input and a built-in DC fan support multi-rail equipment. Select loads using all four channel-current ranges and the combined power limit; over-temperature protection is an option, not an assumed standard feature.

Model Code and Output Configuration
| Complete model |
QP-150-3C |
| Series and output combination |
QP-150 is the quad-output power-supply family. The complete suffix identifies the catalogue output combination shown below; retain the full SKU when ordering. |
| Four-output configuration |
CH1 5 V, CH2 3.3 V, CH3 15 V, CH4 -15 V |
| Maximum rated total output power |
152 W for all channels together. The series designation is not an unconditional 150 W rating for every model. |
Each channel has its own rated current and permitted current range. Keep every channel within its stated minimum/maximum range and the combined output within the total-power rating and derating limits. The individual maximum currents are not an allowance to load every channel to its maximum simultaneously.
Four-Channel Electrical Specifications
| CH1 voltage and current |
5 V DC; rated current 10 A; permitted current range 3 to 15 A. |
| CH1 ripple and regulation |
Ripple/noise 100 mVp-p maximum; voltage tolerance ±3.0%; line regulation ±1.0%; load regulation ±2.0%. |
| CH2 voltage and current |
3.3 V DC; rated current 10 A; permitted current range 0 to 15 A. |
| CH2 ripple and regulation |
Ripple/noise 100 mVp-p maximum; voltage tolerance ±3.0%; line regulation ±1.0%; load regulation ±2.0%. |

Ripple/noise 150 mVp-p maximum; voltage tolerance ±5.0%; line regulation ±1.0%; load regulation ±2.0%. |
| Output voltage adjustment |
CH1: 4.75 to 5.5 V; CH2: 3.14 to 3.63 V. |
| Typical efficiency |
74% at the catalogue reference test conditions. |
Unless otherwise specified, parameters are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Voltage tolerance includes setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. Ripple/noise is measured at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 uF and 47 uF capacitors.
Negative output voltages retain their listed polarity relative to COM; the current figures are load-current magnitudes. Apply the actual channel loading requirements together rather than treating the four outputs as four independent supplies.
The catalogue lists selectable positive/negative polarity for CH4. The output table above preserves the published negative-polarity combination for this complete model. The pages do not define a separate ordering suffix or a field-conversion procedure; confirm the required polarity configuration before ordering or changing it.
Input, PFC and Timing
| Input range / frequency |
90 to 264 VAC, universal full range; 127 to 370 VDC. AC frequency 47 to 63 Hz. |
| Power factor, typical |
Built-in active PFC: PF >0.95 at 230 VAC; PF >0.98 at 115 VAC, full load. |
| AC current, typical |
2.5 A at 115 VAC; 1.2 A at 230 VAC. |
| Inrush / leakage |
Cold-start inrush ≤40 A at 230 VAC, typical; leakage <3.5 mA at 240 VAC. |
| Setup / rise time |
800 ms setup, 50 ms rise at 230 VAC; 1800 ms setup, 50 ms rise at 115 VAC, full load. |
| Hold-up time, typical |
24 ms at full load; both 230 VAC and 115 VAC entries are specified. |
| Switching frequency |
Fixed 100 kHz as listed in the features and block diagram. |
Protection and Optional Functions
| Short circuit / overload |
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload detection: 105% to 150% of rated output power; hiccup mode, automatically recovering after the fault condition is removed. |
| Over-voltage thresholds |
CH1: 5.75 to 6.75 V; CH2: 3.8 to 4.4 V. Output shuts down; re-power to recover. |
| Over-temperature protection |
Optional: when fitted, output shuts down and automatically recovers after temperature decreases. The unqualified model number does not establish that this option is installed. |
Overload thresholds describe protection behavior, not a continuous power rating. Only the channels and thresholds listed above are specified for over-voltage protection; do not infer a separate OVP threshold for every output. No remote-sense or power-good/power-fail signal interface is specified in this model section.
Cooling and Operating Limits
| Cooling / temperature range |
Forced-air cooling by a built-in DC fan; working ambient -10 to +60°C subject to the derating curve. |
| Horizontal-installation thermal curve |
100% load from -10 to +50°C; derate to 80% at +60°C. |
| Input-voltage derating |
At 60 Hz: 80% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 100 VAC; 100% from 100 through 264 VAC, subject to other limits. |
| Altitude adjustment |
Above 2000 m, the stated ambient-temperature derating for fan-cooled models is 5°C per additional 1000 m. No maximum operating altitude is established by this note. |
Apply temperature and input-voltage derating together with the model total-power and channel-current limits. Keep the fan opening and the illustrated upward airflow path unobstructed; the +60°C working limit does not mean full rated load at that temperature.
Terminal Assignments and Installation
| AC input and earth |
Terminal 1: AC/L; terminal 2: AC/N; terminal 3: FG protective earth. |
| Output terminals |
Terminal 4: V4 (CH4); terminal 5: V3 (CH3); terminals 6 and 7: V1 (CH1); terminals 8 and 9: output COM; terminal 10: V2 (CH2). |
| Output wiring |
Connect each load to its specified output and COM with the polarity in the output table. The duplicate V1 and COM terminals are assignments for the same output/reference, not additional channels. |
| Adjustment and indication |
The drawing identifies an LED and +V ADJ.1 / +V ADJ.2 controls; use only the adjustment ranges actually specified for this model. |
Use the complete page 5 mechanical drawing for terminal orientation. The terminal functions do not include remote sense, communication or programmable control pins. The catalogue does not provide a specific mating-connector, harness or mounting-kit order code for this family; do not infer an included accessory kit from the drawing.

The stated weight is the explicit single-unit PACKING reference, not a measured bare net weight or the total shipment mass. Drawing hole counts are not supplied screw quantities; select mounting hardware to the actual threaded locations and insertion limits shown.

The supply is a component for installation in final equipment. EMC testing used a 360 × 360 mm metal plate, 1 mm thick; the completed equipment must be checked again for compliance.
