Description
Description
The DDR-480B is a 480W DIN Rail type DC-DC converter designed for rolling stock and railway applications requiring compliance with EN50155 standards. With an input range of 16.8~33.6Vdc (nominal 24Vdc), it converts from standard on-board DC bus supplies to isolated 12V, 24V, or 48V outputs. Built to withstand shock and vibration per IEC61373, it operates reliably from -40~+80°C and supports current sharing for higher-power parallel configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the DDR-480B-24 to power 24V industrial automation equipment from a 24V battery bus?
Yes. The DDR-480B-24 accepts 16.8-33.6V DC input and outputs isolated 24V at up to 20A (480W). This makes it ideal for converting an unregulated 24V battery bus into a clean, isolated 24V rail for PLCs, VFDs, HMI panels, and other automation devices that need stable voltage with noise isolation.
Is the DDR-480B-24 suitable for high-current 24V LED lighting systems powered from a 24V DC distribution bus?
Yes. At 480W and 20A, it can drive large arrays of 24V LED panels, strip lighting, or signage. The 4KVdc I/O isolation separates the lighting load from the main bus, and the DIN rail mount fits standard electrical panels. Ensure the total connected LED load does not exceed 480W.
Can the DDR-480B-24 provide isolated 24V power for marine or vehicle electrical systems running on a nominal 24V bus?
Yes. Marine and heavy-vehicle 24V battery systems typically range from about 20V to 30V, which falls within the 16.8-33.6V input window. The 4KVdc isolation protects downstream equipment from ground faults and transients on the vehicle bus. The -40°C to +80°C rating and fanless design suit engine rooms and exposed installations.
Does the DDR-480B-24 require active cooling or ventilation in an enclosed panel?
The DDR-480B-24 uses a fanless convection-cooled design, so no forced air is required under normal conditions. However, at 480W it generates meaningful heat. In sealed enclosures, verify that ambient temperature stays below +80°C and provide adequate spacing around the unit for airflow. Its dimensions are 128.5 x 125.2 x 85.5 mm, so plan enclosure sizing accordingly.
How does the DDR-480B-24 compare to lower-wattage 24V DDR models for sizing my system?
The DDR series with B-suffix (16.8-33.6V input) offers 24V output at several power tiers: DDR-120B-24 at 120W / 5A, DDR-240B-24 at 240W / 10A, and DDR-480B-24 at 480W / 20A. If your load is well under 120W, the smaller models save space and cost. The DDR-480B-24 is the right choice when your 24V load approaches or exceeds 240W.
