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. 150% 5 seconds, please refer to peak loading curves.
6. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than2000m(6500ft).
7. 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 )

FAQ

Can I use the DDR-480C-24 to power 24V industrial automation equipment from a 48V DC bus?

Yes. The DDR-480C-24 accepts a 33.6-67.2V DC input, which covers standard 48V DC bus systems. It delivers 480W at 24V/20A, making it well suited for powering PLCs, motor drives, and other 24V industrial automation loads mounted on DIN rail.

Is the DDR-480C-24 suitable for converting solar battery bank voltage down to 24V for control systems?

The DDR-480C-24 can convert a DC source in the 33.6-67.2V range down to 24V at up to 20A. If your solar battery bank voltage falls within that input window, it can reliably power 24V control electronics, sensors, and communication equipment. The 4KVdc I/O isolation helps protect sensitive downstream devices.

Can the DDR-480C-24 power 24V embedded computing or server equipment in a telecom rack?

Yes. With 480W output at 24V/20A and 92% typical efficiency, the DDR-480C-24 is a good fit for telecom and IT infrastructure where a 48V DC distribution bus needs to be stepped down to 24V. The DIN rail form factor and 4KVdc isolation support deployment in equipment cabinets and control panels.

Will the DDR-480C-24 operate reliably in an unheated outdoor enclosure during winter?

The DDR-480C-24 is rated for an operating temperature range of -40 to +80 degrees Celsius, so it can handle extreme cold without issue. However, it does not carry an IP rating for ingress protection, so it must be installed inside a suitable sealed enclosure to protect against moisture and dust.

What other output voltages and wattages are available in the DDR-480 series with the C input range?

The DDR-480C series (33.6-67.2V input) is available in three output variants: the DDR-480C-12 at 400.8W/12V/33.4A, the DDR-480C-24 at 480W/24V/20A, and the DDR-480C-48 at 480W/48V/10A. Other input ranges include the B series (16.8-33.6V) and D series (67.2-154V) with the same output options.
