Will a Meanwell RT-65C work in the EII?

[brian_ronn]

Hi

Have any of you replaced the original PSU with a Meanwell RT-65C?

The specs for the RT-65C is as follows:

Type: Switching,Regulated
Style: Enclosed
AC Input Voltage: 88 to 264 V
Number of Outputs:3
Output Voltage:5,15,-15 V
Maximum Output Current:8,3,1 A
Maximum Output Power:65.5 W
Input Connector Type:Screw Terminal Block
Dimension:129 x 98 x 38 mm
Unit of Measure:Per Each

The Meanwell T-60C is hard to get and the RT65C could be the replacement.

Best regards Brian

I haven't. But the Meanwell RT-85C should for sure work, because that one was used in Abstrakt Instruments Emulator-II drop-in replacement PSU.

Abstrakt is not selling them anymore, but the bare Meanwell RT-85C PSU seems still to be available on electronics web shops.
(BTW: the installation manual of the Abstrakt Instruments PSU is still available for download on their website)

Hi Esynthesist

Thank you for replying.

I've just ordered 2 Meanwell RT-85C and downloaded the manual from Abstrakt Instruments.

The install looks fairly simple.

Best regards Brian

Someone was using an RT-85C along with two buck converters to make a power supply that would give you all of the rails that you needed.
It was fairly simple I'll see if I can track it down again.
