MeanWell s320-12 - PSU for Peltier

[nkarnold]

Ive just got one of these things for my 226W Pelt.

The back of it, is simply screw in terminals.

I know where to put the pelt.

But is it just a case of wiring up 3 terminals labelled (earth symbol, N, L (presume netrual and live) wires to the A/C power cord 13A fused one.

Im in the UK.


Thanks in advance

Thanks guys.

If I want to extend the peltier wires, what sort of wire do I need to use.

Hi!

I`m new on the board but not on TEC:s so heres what I say bout that.

You would definatly have to use something a bit sturdy, like 14 guage wire, preferably copper.
When I extended my wires I used solid copper rods, that I bent into position.
But make extremly sure that your soldering is topnotch in the connection.

Good luck

Most recommend 12 to 14 GA wire. I'd definitely go at least 12 GA...those leads can get very warm.

BTW, welcome to the board Worg:)

I found some high amp rated cable in home base. It was lighting cable -solid copper wire 2mm thick, red and black encased in a plasic mold. It got warm but I used electronic wire first and that didn't melt. IIRC the lighting cable was rated for 14A where the TEC takes 21A.
