Preface To let our new employees and distribution partners have basic understanding about Switching Power Supply , Mean Well published this Switching Power Supply Technical Manual based on our 22-year experiences in designing, manufacturing, and selling Switching Power supplies as well as the latest safety regulations and textbooks.

10 This Manual includes basic information for Switching Power Supply , general specifications, safety regulations, EMC standards, CE, reliability, operation notes, Technical Q&A, and notes on failure correction. The contents emphasize on description of facts but not formulas or mathematical issues which is very suitable for people without Technical background. Readers should get the big picture about Switching Power Supply 's specification, application, and safety issues in the short time. This Manual was originated from Switching Power Supply User Manual . published in February 1996 and was revised many times during these years. This edition strengthens the explanation portion by using photos, diagrams and tables which is more friendly to readers without Technical background. Besides, the safety and EMC portion are also revised based on the latest standards that can help readers get more insight understanding about these regulations.
