Description

RPB-1600 is a 1.6KW single output AC/DC charger with a high power density up to 25W/inch”. Three embedded charging curves, specifically for the lead-acid batteries, are built into each model. Thanks to the communication protocol, PBS, and CAN Bus one spare curve can be further accommodated to fit other types of batteries such as the li-ion batteries. Each model is cooled by the thermostatically controlled fan. Moreover, RPB-1600 provides various protection mechanisms, offering the best safety for diversified types of applications..

NOTE1. Modification for charger specification may be required for different battery specification. Please contact battery vendor and MEAN WELL for details.2. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.3. This is MEAN WELL’s suggested range. Please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.4. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.5. PV/PC functions when users are not operating on PMBus/CAN Bus. SVR functions when users are neither operating on PMBus/CANBus nor using PV/PC.6. The charger is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit ona 720mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on http://www.meanwell.com)7. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).8. When charging lead acid battery or battery without BMS, use breaker to disconnect charger and battery after fully charged.※ Product Liability Disclaimer:For detailed information, please refer to https://www.meanwell.com/serviceDisclaimer.aspx

  1. PBS Communication Interface
  2. Charging Curve
    • RPB-1600 supports PBS Rev. 1.1 with maximum 100KHz bus speed, allowing information reading, status monitoring, output trimming, etc. For details,
    • By factory default, this charger performs the default curve which can be programmed via PMBus and CANBus. PIN10 and PIN14 on CN1 are thus shorted by default.
    • To disable/ enable the charging curve, change to a 2 stage curve, a different curve frequently used for certain types of batteries in the industry, switch to PBS, CAN Bus, PV/PC or SVR control instead and so on, please refer to the Installation Manual.
    • To program the parameters of the charging curve, SBP-001, the smart battery charging programmer designed by MEAN WELL, and a personal computer are needed. Please contact MEAN WELL for details

  9. Current Sharing
    RPB-1600 has the built-in active current sharing function and can be connected in parallel, up to 3 units, to provide higher output power as exhibited below:
    • The power supplies should be paralleled using short and large diameter wiring and then connected to the load.
    • Difference of output voltages among parallel units should be less than 0.2V.
    • The total output current must not exceed the value determined by the following equation:
      Maximum output current at parallel operation=(Rated current per unit) (Number of unit) 0.9
    • When the total output current is less than 5% of the total rated current, or say (5% of Rated current per unit) (Number of unit)
      the current shared among units may not be balanced.
