12 V 120 W power supply or RPS-120-27 Two models side by side: measurements taken by the author in their reviews, and their conclusions. The better value in each row is highlighted.
In brief: Based on review measurements: Ripple: 12 V 120 W power supply (50 mV vs. 75).
Model 12 V 120 W power supply 2025 Read review → RPS-120-27 Mean Well · 2018 Read review → Voltage, V 12 27 Current, A 10 4.5 Power, W 120 121.5 Ripple, mV 50 75 Review conclusion With reservations With reservations
Only in one review: In test 135 W (RPS-120-27); Efficiency 90 % (RPS-120-27); No load 0.5 W (12 V 120 W power supply); Temperature rise 66.5 °C (12 V 120 W power supply).
12 V 120 W power supply: Low ripple, but in reality it is a 100–110 W unit rather than a full 120 W supply.
RPS-120-27: Well built and handles the load reliably, but it buzzes noticeably, has high ripple, and is difficult to repair.
Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
