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-240C-24 to convert a 48V battery bank to 24V for industrial automation equipment?
Yes. The DDR-240C-24 accepts 33.6-67.2V DC input and outputs 24V at up to 10A (240W), so it is well suited for stepping down a 48V battery system to power 24V PLCs, sensors, and motor drives in DIN rail-based automation panels. The 4KVdc I/O isolation protects sensitive control equipment from the battery bus.
Is the DDR-240C-24 suitable for powering 24V DC loads from a 48V telecom bus?
Yes. Telecom DC buses commonly operate at 48V nominal, which falls within the DDR-240C-24's 33.6-67.2V input range. At 240W and 10A output, it can supply 24V peripheral equipment such as switches, routers, or access controllers mounted in standard telecom racks.
Can the DDR-240C-24 power 24V embedded computing systems in a mobile or vehicle application?
Yes. If the vehicle's DC bus voltage stays within 33.6-67.2V, the DDR-240C-24 provides a stable 24V rail at up to 10A. Its -40°C to +70°C operating range and compliance with EN50155 / IEC61373 for shock and vibration make it suitable for enclosures in buses, trains, or heavy equipment where vibration and temperature extremes are common.
Will the DDR-240C-24 operate reliably in an unheated outdoor DIN rail enclosure?
Yes. The DDR-240C-24 is rated for -40°C to +70°C operation (with derating at high temperatures per the derating curve) and 5-95% RH non-condensing. As long as the enclosure shields it from direct water ingress and condensation, it will operate in cold-climate outdoor cabinets, rooftop equipment housings, and similar exposed installations.
Can I use the DDR-240C-24 in a solar energy system to step down a 48V panel string for 24V loads?
The DDR-240C-24 accepts 33.6-67.2V DC input, which can accommodate a 48V nominal solar bus with typical voltage fluctuations. It provides 240W at 24V/10A for loads such as monitoring systems, communication radios, or lighting controllers in off-grid solar installations.
What are the differences between the DDR-240B, DDR-240C, and DDR-240D models at the 24V output level?
All three provide 240W at 24V/10A output. The key difference is the input voltage range: the DDR-240B-24 accepts 16.8-33.6V DC (suited to 24V bus systems), the DDR-240C-24 accepts 33.6-67.2V DC (suited to 48V bus systems), and the DDR-240D-24 accepts 67.2-154V DC (suited to high-voltage DC distribution). All share the same 40 x 125.2 x 113.5 mm DIN rail form factor.
