Frequently Asked Questions - RPT-160A Mean Well

What type of power supply is the Mean Well RPT-160A?

The RPT-160A is a medical switching power supply in the PCB form factor, part of the RPT family.

What are the installation precautions for the RPT-160A?

Before installation, disconnect the system from the utility and ensure it cannot be reconnected inadvertently. Follow mounting orientation guidelines and maintain proper clearance from heat sources.

What wire gauge should I use for the RPT-160A?

Recommended wire gauges range from AWG 18 (for up to 6A) to AWG 10 (for up to 40A). For multiple strips, do not exceed 80% of the rated current.

Does the RPT-160A require forced cooling?

PCB units greater than 120W may require forced air or a fan. Keep ventilation holes unobstructed and maintain a 10-15 cm clearance from heat sources.

What are the insulation distance requirements for the RPT-160A?

Keep at least 5 mm insulation distance on the bottom of the PCB. Add a Mylar film if needed. Maintain 15 mm clearance around the PCB unit.

Can I mount the RPT-160A in any orientation?

Mounting orientations other than standard may increase internal component temperature and require output current derating. Refer to the specification sheet for optimum mounting position.

Is the RPT-160A compliant with safety standards?

The unit is designed as a component power supply. EMC test reports are available upon request. When integrated into a system, the end system's EMC must be re-verified.

What should I do if the power supply fails?

All failures should be examined by a qualified technician. Do not remove the case yourself due to risk of electric shock and energy hazard.

How do I ground the RPT-160A?

For Class I products, the ground (FG) must be connected to protective earth to avoid risk of electric shock.

Please refer to the specification sheets to receive the optimum mounting position and information about the de-rating curve.
(c) Fans or ventilation holes must be kept free from any obstructions. Also a 10-15 cm clearance must be kept when the adjacent device is a heat source.
(d) Keep enough insulation distance between mounting screws and internal components of Enclosed units. Please refer to case drawing on specifications to receive the maximum length of mounting screw.
(e) Recommended wires of Enclosed units are shown as below.

AWG	18	16	14	12	10
