[Elecraft] Another powersupply question

[Bekir Kemal Ataman]

Reading the differences in ratings I realized I know nothing on how to read
the specs. So, please, you all knowledgeable people, could you give me a
hand in understanding how my powersuplly rates?

I have got a MeanWell SP320-15 switch mode power supply. I found the specs
at <http://www.computronics.com.au/meanwell/sp-320/> after a Google search.
This page specifies it at 15V and 0 to 20.0A at plus or minus 1 %
tolerance, 150mV R&N (whatever that means) and 86% efficiency. However,
after reading all the different industry (and non-industry) standards I got
all confused.

There are some more specs on the page but could not figure out what they mean.

BTW I had mine set to 13.8 V. So, theoretically this should enable more
current to be withdrawn.

The question is how much current this thing can supply for HAM purposes
(including RTTY, PSK31, etc.)?

Thanking you all in advance.
