NMP Series Introduction
MEAN WELL’s NMP series is a 1U low profile, medically approved, configurable power supply. This series offers applications for remote control and monitoring thanks to its intelligent control features, which include voltage and current regulation, remote power on and off, over-temperature warning, and DC OK signal. Its internal temperature-detecting feature automatically changes the fan speed for temperature management. The power density is greatly increased by the 1U miniaturised design.
Have a look below at the specifications of the NMP family products.
The NMP650/NMP1K2 Modular Power
Within the NMP, you can find two products, NMP650 with 4 slots and NMP1K2 with 6 slots (see below), that compromises different power wattages, 650W and 1200W, and the output modules can provide up to 240W with customisable options for the main working voltages used in industries: 5V, 12V, 24V, 48V, and Dual Output.
Features:
- Medical (2x MOPP) ITE safety approvals

- Test or measurement systems
- Telecommunication equipment
MEAN WELL offers an NMP Selection Tool where you can configure and customise your product based on individual requirements.
Modular Solutions for Medical Applications
The MEAN WELL NMP series of reliable, modular and configurable power supplies is perfect for medical purposes. In a smaller size and with multiple DC outputs (up to 240W), the NMP power supplies are perfect for various components, such as lifting motors, air compressors, water pumps, dental resin curing lights, and the lighting fixture of a dental chair, as they all require different voltages.
Also, any applications that require high currents, like laser or image rendering equipment with high power needs, can be connected in parallel to supply double, triple or even higher output currents to the load.
Watch the video below to see a detailed introduction to the NMP series products and explore their key features specific to medical applications.
