Test conditions and notes4
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at normal input , 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 ERDN40-48 for a redundant 48V industrial automation power system?
Yes. The ERDN40-48 is a redundancy module for 48V systems (36~60Vdc input) rated for 40A continuous, and it supports both 1+1 and N+1 redundancy. That makes it suitable for 48V industrial and automation systems that require redundancy.
Is the ERDN40-48 a good choice for 48V communications equipment that needs uptime protection?
It can be a fit for 48V communications or network equipment where redundant power architecture is required. The module is rated for 40A continuous and includes DC OK relay contacts for monitoring power status.
Can this model be used in a 48V control panel with 1+1 or 1+N redundant supplies?
Yes. Supporting 1+1 and N+1 redundancy is one of its core features, and it is intended for redundant 48V power distribution. Its 48V system voltage and 40A rating define the load class it supports.
Is the ERDN40-48 suitable for higher-power 48V embedded or industrial systems?
Yes, for 48V systems that need redundant power handling. It carries up to 40A continuous (60A peak for 5 seconds), the same current rating as the other models in the series, and is aimed at 48V loads within that rating.
What are the differences between the ERDN40-48 and the other ERDN40 redundancy modules?
All models are 40A redundancy modules that share the same redundancy concept; they differ in system voltage. The ERDN40-48 is for 48V systems (36~60Vdc input), the ERDN40-12 for 12V systems (9~14Vdc), and the ERDN40-24 for 24V systems (19~29Vdc).
Can the ERDN40-48 operate in demanding temperature environments or outdoor enclosures?
Its specified operating temperature range is -40°C to +80°C, with derating above +60°C. However, no IP rating is listed, so the provided specs do not establish outdoor protection against dust or water.
