MEAN WELL RSP-2000-24 is a single-output enclosed AC/DC power supply rated 24 V, 80 A and 1920 W. Its 295 × 127 × 41 mm enclosure provides a 1U profile with fan cooling and active PFC. Built-in remote sensing, voltage programming, auxiliary outputs, status signals and active current sharing support industrial control, test and automation systems. Output availability depends on input voltage, temperature and the selected control mode.

The low-line power values are the model-specific static-characteristic ratings at 60 Hz. Apply both input-voltage and ambient-temperature derating; the universal input range does not mean full output is available at every input voltage.
Protection
| Short circuit and overload |
105–125% of rated output power; constant-current limiting, followed by output shutdown after 5 seconds. Reapply power to recover. |
| Overvoltage |
29.5–35 V; output shuts down, with recovery by reapplying power |
| Overtemperature |
Output shuts down and recovers automatically after the temperature falls |
Remote Sensing and Voltage Programming
| Remote-sense compensation |
Up to 0.5 V of voltage drop in the load wiring |
| CN501 sensing pins |
Pin 1 = +S; pin 2 = −S. Connect +S to the positive load terminal and −S to the negative load terminal. |
| Voltage-programming input |
CN501 pin 3 = PV; pin 4 = GND, referenced to output −V. This control is non-isolated. |
| Model-specific programming curve |
40–115% of nominal voltage in the function graph; observe the nonlinear region and model-specific graph before applying an external control voltage. |
Twist the sensing wires together to reduce noise pickup. For local sensing in the programming arrangement, connect +S to +V and −S to −V as shown in the function diagram.
For this model, the PV graph shows a lower plateau at approximately 40% output between 0.4 and 1 V external control, followed by an increase to approximately 115% at 4.7 V. Below approximately 0.4 V control the graph shows nominal output; do not extrapolate a linear adjustment down to zero volts.
Above 100% nominal output voltage, reduce allowable output current according to the programming curve; at 115% voltage the plotted current limit is approximately 87% of rated current. Observe the rated power and all other derating limits.
Remote ON/OFF, Auxiliary Outputs and Status
| Remote ON/OFF |
CN501 pin 7 to pin 11 (+5V-AUX): open = output ON; short = output OFF. Maximum input voltage is 5.5 V. |
| Auxiliary signal return |
CN501 pins 8, 9 and 10 = GND-AUX, isolated from the main +V/−V output terminals |
| 5 V auxiliary output |
CN501 pin 11: 4.5–5.5 V, maximum 0.3 A, referenced to GND-AUX |
| 12 V auxiliary output |
CN501 pin 12: 10.6–13.2 V, maximum 0.8 A, referenced to GND-AUX |
| DC-OK signal |
CN501 pin 5: isolated status output, maximum sourcing current 10 mA; low 0–0.5 V = output voltage healthy, high 4.5–5.5 V = low output voltage |
| Temperature alarm |
CN501 pin 6: isolated status output, maximum sourcing current 10 mA; low 0–0.5 V = internal temperature within limit, high 4.5–5.5 V = temperature alarm |
Both auxiliary supplies include built-in ORing diodes and remain active independently of the main-output remote ON/OFF control. Remote ON/OFF, DC-OK and the temperature-alarm signal use GND-AUX as the isolated reference.
The CN501 pin table specifies a DC-OK switching region of 80% ±6% of nominal output; the separate LED table labels its output-voltage indication as 80% ±5%. Green indicates DC-OK or normal temperature; red indicates low output or a temperature alarm. The temperature-alarm LED table shows output OFF during an overtemperature alarm. Use the detailed signal table when designing a monitoring circuit.
Parallel Operation
| Maximum number of units |
Up to 4 RSP-2000 units with active current sharing |
| Maximum combined output current |
80 A × number of units × 0.9, with all relevant input and temperature derating applied |
| Output-voltage matching |
Difference between parallel units must be less than 0.2 V |
| Minimum load |
Greater than 5% of the total rated output; below this level current sharing may be unbalanced and some units may remain in standby |
| CN502 parallel-control pins |
Pins 1/2 = DA; pins 3/4 = DB; pins 5/6 = GND connected to output −V |
| CN504 termination selector |
Pins 1/2 select the termination resistor for DA/DB parallel-control signals |
Use short, large-diameter output wiring and join matching DA, DB and GND signals between units. Twist longer CN502 control wires in pairs. Follow the parallel-wiring and sensing diagrams in the PDF.
For a single unit, CN502 is unplugged and CN504 termination is fitted. For 2 units, connect CN502 and fit CN504 on both. For 3 or 4 units, connect CN502 on all units and fit CN504 only on the first and last unit. The PDF connection table specifies these configurations; it does not establish that a customer wiring harness is included.
The series headline of up to 8000 W is not an unconditional combined rating for every voltage model. Select the system from the actual per-model current, the 0.9 sharing factor and the operating conditions.
