Test conditions and notes5
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, 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 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor. Measure before Choke.
- 3. Efficiency before choke.
- 4. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets 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)
- 5. 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).

FAQ
Can I use the KNX-20E-640 in a small KNX control panel for building automation?
Yes. This model is a 30V KNX power supply rated at 19.2W with a 640mA output, which fits small KNX building automation panels where a DIN rail form factor is preferred. Its 52.5 × 90 × 54.5 mm (W × H × D) housing also suits compact control cabinets.
Is the KNX-20E-640 suitable for PLC and industrial automation cabinets that include KNX devices?
It is suitable where the cabinet uses a 30V KNX power supply and the required load stays within 19.2W and 640mA. The DIN rail format and 52.5 × 90 × 54.5 mm (W × H × D) size make it practical for slim control cabinet layouts. It is intended as an EIB/KNX power supply with an integrated choke.
Can this power supply be used in a building management enclosure with limited space?
Yes. The KNX-20E-640 is built as a DIN rail power supply and has a relatively narrow 52.5 mm (3 SU) width, which helps in crowded building management enclosures. Its 30V KNX output and integrated choke are aligned with KNX control applications rather than general-purpose cabinet power.
Is the KNX-20E-640 meant for open-air use, or should it stay inside a control cabinet?
This unit is better suited to protected use inside a control cabinet or enclosure. The listed operating temperature is -30°C to +70°C (with derating), and the unit is an IP20 design. For that reason, it should be matched to enclosed indoor control-panel environments rather than exposed locations.
How does the KNX-20E-640 compare with the other Mean Well KNX series power supplies?
On this spec sheet, the KNX-20E-640 and KNX-20U-640 are both 19.2W, 30V, 640mA models with an integrated choke. The difference is the input: the KNX-20E-640 accepts 180 ~ 264VAC or 230 ~ 370VDC, while the KNX-20U-640 is the 115VAC special order model.
