Test conditions and notes4
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at normal input(12V/24V/48V) , rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Derating may be needed over high ambient temperature. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 3. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 4. 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 DRDN40-24 in a 24V PLC control panel that needs redundant power?
Yes. The DRDN40-24 is a 24V redundancy module rated for 40A continuous and supports both 1+1 and N+1 redundancy, which fits control panels designed around redundant 24V DC power architecture. Its DIN rail form factor also suits industrial control cabinets where monitored backup continuity is required.
Is the DRDN40-24 appropriate for industrial automation cabinets with 24V control loads?
It is suitable for industrial automation cabinets that use a 24V power bus and need redundancy at up to 40A. The module is designed for DIN rail use and includes relay contacts for monitoring power status, which is useful in supervised automation systems. Its 125.2 × 100.0 × 55.0 mm size also fits panel-based installations better than open mounting approaches.
Can this redundancy module be used in building management or facility control enclosures?
Yes, if the building management or facility control enclosure is based on 24V DC distribution and requires redundant supply monitoring. The DRDN40-24 supports 1+1 and N+1 redundancy and provides relay contacts for power status, which aligns with monitored control infrastructure. It is built for DIN rail mounting, which is common in enclosure-based control systems.
Is the DRDN40-24 a good fit for a DIN rail control cabinet with high current 24V distribution?
Yes. This model handles up to 40A continuous on a 24V bus (19-29Vdc input range), so it fits higher-current 24V cabinet designs that need redundancy rather than a single non-redundant feed. Its DIN rail format keeps the module aligned with cabinet-based power distribution layouts.
How does the DRDN40-24 compare with the other DRDN40 redundancy modules?
The DRDN40-12 is rated for 12V systems at 40A (9-14Vdc input), the DRDN40-24 for 24V systems at 40A (19-29Vdc), and the DRDN40-48 for 48V systems at 40A (36-60Vdc). All are part of the same DRDN40 series and keep the same 40A current class, while the input voltage range changes by model. The right choice depends on the DC bus voltage used in the system.
Is the DRDN40-24 intended for exposed or outdoor environments?
It is better suited to protected control cabinets or electrical enclosures rather than exposed locations. The listed operating range is -40°C to +80°C, which supports demanding indoor industrial environments, but the product data here is oriented around DIN rail cabinet use. For enclosure-based installations, its 0.5 kg weight and compact body help keep panel layouts manageable.
