Test conditions and notes7
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at normal input (B:24Vdc , C:48Vdc , D:110Vdc ) , rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 5. 3 seconds max., please refer to peak loading curves.
- 6. The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies." (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
- 7. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than2000m(6500ft).

FAQ
Can I use the DDR-240B-24 to power a 24V industrial automation system from a 24V battery bank?
Yes, provided the battery voltage stays within the 16.8-33.6V input range. The DDR-240B-24 delivers 240W at 24V/10A, which is substantial enough to power PLCs, motor drives, HMI panels, and multiple I/O modules in a DIN rail-mounted automation system fed from a 24V battery bus.
Is the DDR-240B-24 suitable for powering 24V LED lighting systems in a DC microgrid or solar installation?
The DDR-240B-24 accepts 16.8-33.6V DC input and provides 24V at up to 10A. It can convert a 24V or 28V solar battery bus to a regulated 24V output for LED lighting panels, strips, or fixtures totaling up to 240W. The 4KVdc isolation protects the lighting from battery-side transients.
Can the DDR-240B-24 power 24V solenoid valves and actuators in a process automation cabinet?
Yes. With 240W (24V/10A) of output capacity, the DDR-240B-24 can drive multiple 24V solenoid valves, pneumatic actuators, and relay coils simultaneously. Its compact DIN rail mounting (40mm wide) makes it well suited for enclosed process automation cabinets where space is a concern.
Does the DDR-240B-24 require active cooling or ventilation?
The DDR-240B-24 is rated for an operating temperature of -40°C to +70°C. At full 240W load, adequate airflow around the unit is recommended to dissipate heat. In tightly sealed enclosures at high ambient temperatures, output derating applies per the derating curve in the Mean Well datasheet.
How does the DDR-240B-24 compare to other 240W models in the DDR series?
The DDR-240 series at the 24V output level includes the DDR-240B-24 (16.8-33.6V input), DDR-240C-24 (33.6-67.2V input), and DDR-240D-24 (67.2-154V input). All deliver 240W at 24V/10A. The B, C, and D suffixes denote different input voltage ranges to match different DC bus standards.
Can I use the DDR-240B-24 in a vehicle or mobile application with a 24V nominal electrical system?
Yes. A 24V vehicle electrical system typically operates between 20V and 30V, which falls within the DDR-240B-24's 16.8-33.6V input range; at the low end of the range output derating applies per the datasheet curve. The converter provides a stable, isolated 24V/10A output for onboard electronics, communication equipment, or auxiliary systems. It is rated for -40°C to +70°C operation.
