[AFMUG] I must be doing something wrong...

[Robert Andrews]

So I ordered two of the meanwell DRP-48-24's from two different 
vendors...   Hooked both of them up to AC.   They _Both_ sit there and 
pulse the DC out light and only output 20V unloaded and about 16 loaded 
with the output looking like it's switching on and off.   So I am 
telling myself the odds are long that I got two bad ones and it's 
probably something I'm not doing right.  Not enough load?   Need a 
battery in the load?   Anyone have any help here or is really two of 
them that are both bad?    input is connected to line correctly, 
verified with volt/ohm meter.    output is just an inline volt/current 
meter into a routerboard..  only about 4 watts on the output...

I am just about to send one back to taiwan and want to find out before 
they say back to me "Stupid American"
