Overview

DRC-100A is the CH1: 13.8V / CH2: 13.8V output model of this series: rated current CH1: 4.5A / CH2: 2.5A, rated power 96.6W, typical efficiency 87%.

DRC-100 is a 96W AC/DC DIN rail type security power supply series. In addition to the primary output, there is a charger output with a smaller rated current, enabling the backup power supply application the security access systems require. DRC-100 accepts the universal input between 90VAC and 264VAC, and supplies 13.8VDC and 27.6VDC at output, respectively. With the efficiency up to 89%, it can operate with air convection cooling under -30℃ through 70℃. In addition to the key protection features such as overload protection, over voltage protection, battery low cut off, and battery reverse polarity protection (by fuse), the alarm signal for AC OK and battery low signalling is provided, via relay contact output, to facilitate the system design.

Test conditions and notes8

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 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
4. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
5. 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 )
6. Installation clearances : 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm on the left and right side are recommended when loaded permanently with full power. In case the adjacent device is a heat source, 15mm clearance is recommended.
7. 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).
8. The battery voltage is lower than the CUTOFF voltage and cannot perform AC reset charging.

FAQ

Can I use the DRC-100A for a 13.8V industrial control panel load up to 4.5A?

Yes. The DRC-100A is a constant voltage DIN rail power supply with a 13.8V output rated for 4.5A, up to 96.6W. That fits 13.8V control and automation loads that stay within those limits.

Is the DRC-100A suitable for 13.8V security, alarm, or backup control equipment?

It can be a fit for 13.8V equipment that needs up to 4.5A and benefits from the unit's UPS function. Its DIN rail form factor and 96.6W capacity make it relevant for panel-based power applications. The load still needs to match 13.8V constant voltage operation.

Can the DRC-100A power embedded or industrial electronics that run on 13.8V DC?

Yes, if the equipment requires 13.8V constant voltage and draws no more than 4.5A. The supply is rated at 96.6W and accepts 90-264VAC input, which suits many industrial cabinet power scenarios. It should be selected only when the device voltage matches 13.8V.

Is the DRC-100A appropriate for indoor control cabinets in cold or hot environments?

The operating temperature range is -30°C to +70°C, with load derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve, so it is designed for a wide indoor temperature range. However, no IP rating is listed in the provided specs. That means the specs do not establish suitability for exposed wet or outdoor locations.

How does the DRC-100A compare with other DRC series DIN rail models?

The DRC-100A is 96.6W at 13.8V, with 4.5A for the load (CH1) and 2.5A for battery charging (CH2), for 12V battery systems. Its sibling on the same datasheet, the DRC-100B, is also 96.6W but at 27.6V, with 2.25A for the load and 1.25A for charging, for 24V battery systems. Both share the 90-264VAC input, DIN rail mounting and AC OK / Battery Low relay alarms.
