[@alfaq937]

what happens if u touch the screws on the powersupply with your fingers while this thing is hooked up to the wall outlet?

[@Nonamekroon]

Thanks to you, I have connected my Mean Well RS-200-5 correctly and learned what "L" and "N" (Load and Neutral) meant. Thank you!

[@aaronbinder6903]

Wow man you couldn't have explained that better for me especially!! I have a way of making something very simple complicated. Great video thank you very much!! Aaron

[@oxicusdoxicus4748]

You have no idea how useful this video was to me, Thank you so much!

[@Toid]

You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know it helped

[@Sifu-Myers]

Thank you so much for this explanation adding the 22 to 100 watts also helped a ton I can finally have some faith In my project now that I got a basic understanding of this

[@timschutte8310]

, this is great. most manufacturers of ALL class d and class T amps usually provide power supplies that are ( HALF ) of what the amp needs or amp " Board "!!!!!!! SMSL and Micca are the only companies that I have found that provide the proper power supplies.

[@bailey2517]

THANK YOU TOID THIS SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME AND STRESS!!!!!

[@WackFPV]

Clockwise goes up, and Counter-Clockwise goes down. Think of it like a clock. Thanks for teaching me something!

[@DeepakNaidu]

Good information from the basics. Thanks Wish there was a case for these to put inside a server rack.

[@DBTechYT]

This is great!! I can never remember which wires are which, so this was super helpful. Now I can power multiple Raspberry Pis on 1 power supply!!

[@ellenwetmore]

Thank you! The Mean Well people send NOTHING for a simple how to plug and play.

[@vsmichael1]

ellenwetmore because most people have the know how.

[@edwingdelgado]

Great description. It served as a review and a reminder of who is who with the wires. Thanks a lot. ;-)

[@lskanon863]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@wentzr]

I was looking at this supply as an option for a bipolar power supply to power a few projects that require from - & + 5V to - & + 12V as well as ground. Why are you using the -V output for ground as opposed to the ground terminal for ground? If you're getting 24V on your multimeter when measuring the output voltage with the black test lead connected to -V and the red test lead connected to +V, what do you get if you move your black test lead to the ground terminal?

[@Wizardofgosz]

I wish you went a bit further with this and hooked up the audio. I'm curious if that switching PSU had any noise issues that you could hear in the signal once you had the speakers hooked up. I'm thinking about using one of those PSU's on a vacuum tube mic preamp I'm building. The guy who designed the preamp actually designed it with a switching PSU in mind, and he has some high frequency filtering in the design, but I think he intended the PSU to be external. I'm going to be racking up TWO of his PCBs into a 2U rack box with the PSU in the rack box.

[@Toid]

That's highly dependent based on what you're hooking it up to. I'm not sure that anyone could really answer that besides the designer of the tube preamp. It's a very clean power supply. With what I use it for, I don't get noise. What I haven't done extensive testing.

[@billb3477]

Excellent video...great explaining

[@mahuubao]

Excellent ... well done ..

[@wiegerengbrenghof5945]

Wouldn't it be better to connect the V- to GND as well using the 'Star' principle?

[@rwedel738]

Thanks for the viedo

[@mikegoddard7354]

what if youre using a barrel plug as the power connection? how do you know which one is + and -?

[@kev379]

If I'm going to use ring terminals, what stud size would fit to put on the screw terminals of the power supply? Will the #8 Stud work fine?

[@YoyoBandalore]

I've watched several videos on how to hook-up a power supply like this. In one video, they had a jumper between the Ground and V-. It was never explained why this was done. Could you explain why such a jumper might be used? Thanks.

[@jayoli7073]

Hi there. Thanks for the video. I have a 12v DC 8 amp water pump. I am planning to use a timer which will switch on and off every 5 or 10 minutes, running for a minute or so. Can use meanwell LRS-100-12 power supply unit to hook it up to a timer switch. My plan: Timer-power supply unit-water pump. Is this the correct set up. Please. Thanks in advance

[@dgjm7129]

1.what happens if the cause our mains are 240v and the power supply only rated at 220v eill it be ok to our country? 2. What is the +-15% means on the voltage input, I researched it I think its tolerance, what does it mean?

[@graceMASTER777]

Man what an amazingly clear description...pure Brilliance in delivery of information. Hats off to you for this . However what was the plug that you used on this ? Is it a 3 pin plug or the normal 2pin plug that goes into the mains ?

[@toyorover1313]

3 pin - a 2 pin wouldn't have a ground wire

[@jeromehenderson8783]

This just help me thanks

[@BertKrus]

What happens if the input L and N change? In Europe we can turn around the power plug!

[@baldergg]

What means if the green led light of the power adapter goes on and off continuously? My adapter doesn't work and I don't know why

[@yandeiyanixestrada9697]

Nice. How can I connect SMPS to electronic semiconductor refregerator radiator cooling equipment??? Please show me a step by step like whay you just did. Thank you.

[@TheGrimReaper606]

Hey bro quick questions can I use only two wire to power the power supply?

[@TheGrimReaper606]

Because here in Philippines we only use 2 wire on one cable?

[@HailCeesar]

Ive got a 3d printer w 24v meanwell power supply. Do you think I can add a XT60 pigtail to power a 650w 15a LiPo charger to it while the printer is on stand by mode? Tya for your reply.

[@NicholasLaDieu]

I used this video to fix my mini fridge.. lol

[@BIGMAN8435]

Lets say I want to connect a few of those together for more amps how would you switch them on.I did see your other video with the car radio and the light switch.

[@mninja636s9]

Can one of this power supply box work with a 600 watt 50amp fuse car audio amplifier?

[@maningdaimai993]

Of I connect to the battery will it get charged??

[@ZielinskiIrek]

Thanks for the video - very helpful! One question: specs of RS-100-24 say that output voltage range is 22.8 to 26.4V in the video you could go as low as 22.2V - is the spec wrong and in fact there is more adjustment range? cheers!

[@ebenezer6844]

Hello. . . Could someone here please help me figure out what appropriate power converter would i need to push a 1000 watt 4 channel amp into 2 X 650 watt speakers? Thanks in advance! Putting all these speakers to use again has been a blast;) THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS!

[@ALPHA-AG-yi3mg]

I have a car stereo powered in my room. With 12V 5Amp works good hits pretty good also.. But I ran into this very power supply yesterday an I'm jw if I could hook the power supply into the car stereo and add 100w or if ittl actually work the way I expect it to or burn the stereo up so I need some opinions

[@ALPHA-AG-yi3mg]

Or I could wire it separate from stereo and run the amp and sub on the power supply and just run the stereo on what it's already on Before this supply box I had to use a 12v car's battery charger to power the amp an subs so I'll be hopeful lol

[@hastingb]

Just for safety reasons, shouldn't the amplifier board have a chassis ground connection?

[@xicath]

so there is no on/off buttton on power supply?

[@OrganizedKonfusion415]

Is that a household power supply ... I saw you plug it into a house plug ...

[@PantherJagger]

What about LED light stripes using the same power supply?

[@street_spirit_]

Can this Power Supply handle 8 cctv ? 4 - 4 . Im curios if this PS can handle 8 cctv's devided into 2 in every + & - ... pls advice .

[@thedood3604]

What if I just plug the board straight into the wall?

[@liciniosantana4949]

I have a power supply, model RSP500-5 and when I apply power supply (220VAC), the led lights up and goes out and there is no 5VCC output, what could be happening?

[@nowuhh]

What does the amplifier do? Sorry I am real new to this stuff.

[@yongewok]

Hi, would I be able to also wire a breadboard’s ground rail to the power supply’s ground, and thereby get a negative voltage from this?

[@yongewok]

I’m building the oscillator from Moritz Klein’s channel and I need to power an op-amp IC, alongside regular Vcc to Gnd elements. I have an Arduino Uno and I’ve been using a voltage inverter circuit next to the op-amp. I got this power supply in order to free up the breadboard space, and to ideally remove the Arduino from the picture. I will be dialing down the voltage as low as possible, but should I still be using a separate device for the ground, maybe the Arduino’s ground? I believe the negative voltage will be isolated from the ground in the circuit, as it should only be used for the op-amp in this project. but if possible, I’d like to remove the Arduino and use the ground (i.e. into the cord) on the power supply.

[@Bout2Fiddy]

excellent tutorial, thanks

[@Toid]

You're Welcome. I am glad it was useful to you! I should have a new tutorial out tomorrow or the next day showing how to make carbon fiber LED lit speakers, if you are interested. I thought it was a pretty cool project myself. Now if I can just get my editing program to agree with me ;)

[@prufrok]

Vague I know, but I read something somewhere online that regulated PS's have more interference in audio application than nonregulated. Thoughts?

[@shikoXcore]

how many bass shakers i can hook to this amp with the same settings?

[@nanmillion]

the electrical dangers of the mains side voltage should be made much more explicit, from the very start of the video. errors with mains voltage can be fatal!

[@threepe0]

Single phase 120, unless they’re standing in a tub of water with wet hands, not likely fatal by a long-shot.

[@samdeur]

Could you measure if the negative lead coming out is earth referenced? I believe that's how you say that excuse my eng I'm Dutch and just starting in electronics

Can i make it 12v?

[@roolee2k]

what will happen if i connect it to a peltier device with 12v 6A ?

[@clifflisette]

Hi, will this power supply be able to feed to 2 amps since I see diferrent output on it? Thanks for you answer. Best regards. Cliff

[@Toid]

Cliff Lisette yes, as long as it has enough amperage for both amplifiers

[@clifflisette]

Thanks for your answer.

[@brostenen]

@@mehulsingh2403 Connected in serial, they will provide higher voltage. Connected parrallel, you can draw higher Amps. Yet be aware. That is out of specs and you void warranty. They are not extremely expensive, yet not cheap eighter. Good value for the money they are. Another thing is that in worst case, you can start a fire that way. Just pick a higher rated PSU from MeanWell. They are cheap enough, and they have tons of different models. All equally good. Just avoid knockoff copies from china.

Do these power supplies come already set-up with the specified output rating? ...Or is it better to 'always' check it with the multimeter? ... Good video. Thanks!

[@Toid]

Kyle Comeaux It never hurts to check it while you have your multimeter out to adjust the voltage

[@arthurlandsberg561]

Can this charge a battery

[@ot4kon]

The white line cable is for positive.

Not in the us. In the US white is neutral. www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/reference/chpt-2/wiring-color-codes/

Could you use this for a car amp

[@Toid]

Yes

[@EivindKreyHanssen]

I'm a noob at this. Just bought a S-250-12 model psu and going to wire it up... But(!) we don't have many grounded sockets here (Norway) and the ones we have, you can put the plug in both ways(I.e. switch the N and L).. As stated, i'm a noob at this.... Any takers?

[@31LR176]

hi,yes you can always turn L & N around because its AC alternating current,AC current changes the polarity or +/- every 1 second 50 times/cycles or 50 hz,so polarity al the time changing anyway,only DC you have to always check for polarity,with AC only in your fusebox you can not change the L & N!No worries!cheers

[@ducksonplays4190]

I've been wondering about buying a mean well power supply for my breadboard computer im making, do you think they are accurate enough?

I've had two of these arrive DOA. Terrible!

[@ducksonplays4190]

the rd65-A has 0.5% Load Regulation and 0.5% Line Regulation for just 16.95 so it wouldnt be too bad if it was dead but still

[@matthewridgeway9250]

Ha! Here, black is neutral, and we don't have white. Blue, brown and green with a yellow stripe (for colour blind people). Anyway, the standards may be different where you are. (Australia here, with 240v mains). Be safe and double check those colours.

[@reptiloidx8942]

Hello there . I would like to know whats the best input current needed for similar device =24v 20a output= to fully function to 100% ???

[@Toid]

VxA=W so you need a 480 watt power supply. Over you do need to take him to the efficiency of the board amp, so 550 watt power supply would be better

[@reptiloidx8942]

i dont get it dows this device that im talking about need 2230v and how many amps to fully function ???

[@Toid]

Арxитектор Вселенной well it plugs into your wall socket. In the US that's 120 volts. And it'll pull as many amps as it needs or until it flips your circuit breaker (ie you overloaded your breaker).

[@reptiloidx8942]

Ok well in EU WE GOT MAXIMUM 13AMP SUCKER LOAD SO IM PLANNING TO USE IF NOT 20AMP DEVICE WELL 15AMP . SO WHAT WILL I DO NOW ???

[@Toid]

Арxитектор Вселенной It'll pull a lot less than 13 AC amps. Check out this site. www.batterystuff.com/kb/tools/ac-to-dc-amperage-conversion-run-through-an-inverter.html

[@aabs7978]

Hi, does it realy matters that L & N is exact correct ?, here in Holland you can place the power-cord in the wall 2 ways, so it should not matter, you can reverse it ? greetings

[@Toid]

It absolutely matters if L & N are reversed.

[@aabs7978]

Thanks, will it else break or burn ?, i dont get it why Holland has this weird power system without earthing and reversable L & N.

[@Toid]

You have the possibility of burning up your brand new power supply. Which, is never good ;)

[@aabs7978]

Hi, i just called the shop, they say it dont matters because you can reverse the powerplug, earth is needed for sure. At least here in E.U. ( Holland ) + if you look L & N is inverted 50Hz sinewave of eachother.

[@31LR176]

hallo,dat maakt niets uit,je kan altijd de L en N omdraaien aan de stekker of stopcontact omdat het ac current is!AC is alternating current dus je kan altijd de + en - omdraaien!dat doet AC automaties met 50 cycles of hz per seconden,alleen niet in je stoppenkast kan je de + en - omdraaien!cheers

can you use this as AC to DC converter?

[@Toid]

Dugagjin Dervishaj that's exactly what it does. It converts AC to DC current

[@dugagjindervishaj3440]

+123Toid im completely new new in to electricity fields my friend. . and a question what about from DC to AC ? does this part helps?

[@Jefferson-ly5qe]

No, this won't convert DC to AC. Why do you want to do that?

[@dugagjindervishaj3440]

+Jefferson Allan now to which one should i believe?

[@Jefferson-ly5qe]

Dugagjin Dervishaj you've misunderstood me. At this point I think you're best off doing some googling. Read about ac-dc converters and dc- AC converters, switching power supplies and linear power supplies. Ask again once you've figured that out.

[@arcadiosincero]

Do they make suitable enclosures to stick all of that in? I have cats so the idea of having all of that exposed is unappealing to me.

[@Toid]

The metal box, is actually the enclosure. Some of these power supplies actually have a plastic guard that goes over the screws, this one does not. However, you can put them in a different enclosure if you want. It would be pretty simple to stick them in say a plastic ammo box with an iec socket on the outside. That would give you more protection if you wanted. Or go to your local hardware store and see what you would fit one.

[@aabs7978]

If i understand correct, it is regulated because you regulate it yourself for a fixed load ?, so it is not really regulated ?, i dont know if i wanto buy this thing, since i dont have always the same load.

[@Toid]

Here's the definition from wikipedia: "A regulated power supply is an embedded circuit; it converts unregulated AC into a constant DC. With the help of a rectifier it converts AC supply into DC. Its function is to supply a stable voltage (or less often current), to a circuit or device that must be operated within certain power supply limits." Basically, anytime you work with sensitive electronics you want to get the cleanest source possible. This is the best way to ensure that. Also you can regulate it to whatever load you need within it's range. I hope this helps.

[@alinutzalin6346]

Hi, I have a problem with this matter which would be very appreciative if someone can elaborate for me. I want to make a diy speaker by buying a full range speaker, amp board 1x50w and lithium battery. Now, as you would see from above, the last item is the lithium battery, yes I want to use it without a "power supply" Question: Can I create this theory diy speaker I want without the power supply? I had bought previously a bluetooth speaker and changed the speaker by de-soldering the negative and positive wires and re-attach it and worked flawlessly, only downside, the amp was weak, not pushing the woofer to its full potential. I checked that by trying it out with my own Griffin amp and it blows my mind how good a 15 gbp woofer can sound, only sad thing is, I bought a mid woofer, not the full range. Anyway, thanks in advance for help if any ...

[@arthurgologan9950]

Nice video! I just have a question. Have you noticed any background noise caused by the power supply? I’m no electrician but I’ve read some posts about smps supplies leaking noise from the switching into the audible frequency band. I’m thinking of building a dual mono amp with two of these in it.

[@Toid]

That is a good question. I have not noticed that at all. However, I run these on bass shakers that only get 80hz and below signal and only comes on when bass hits. SO I probably would not notice it.

[@arthurgologan9950]

123Toid aah, ok. I’ll continue my reading and I won’t let all audiophiles get to me with all the talk about toroidal being the only way to get good quality sound. 😉 smps are just so much simpler and more efficient!

[@tombeck2792]

Set the voltage with a load, the amp is running

[@indradjaya07]

I'm not sure with the cabel input... You use ground line ? It is not secure... It is so danger... I think, it must use L and N for power input with 2 cable

[@skriptico]

Thanks

[@brostenen]

Great... I was actually looking for this. Now... There is no difference between neutral and live. It is AC. And it does not matter how you plug it into the wall. And you can find cords, were there is no connection for "neutral" and "live". The ground/earth is the only one you need to watch out for. Regarding getting a shock. Then you will not get any, if you only touch one. If both or anything else, then you will get a shock.
