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 DRDN20-48 in a 48V industrial automation panel with redundant DC power?
Yes, this model is suited to 48V control-power architectures with a 36-60Vdc input range and is rated for 20A continuous. It supports 1+1 and N+1 redundancy, which is useful in industrial automation panels where redundant 48V power distribution is required.
Is the DRDN20-48 appropriate for telecom-style or networked control cabinets that run on 48V?
It can be a fit for enclosed 48V control cabinets when the redundant power path stays within 20A continuous. The DIN rail format and 125.2 x 102.0 x 32.0 mm dimensions also support organized cabinet layouts.
Can this redundancy module be used in a building management panel that standardizes on 48V control power?
Yes, if the panel uses 48V control power, this model matches that voltage and supports redundant configurations through 1+1 and N+1 operation. Its relay contacts provide a straightforward way to monitor power status at the panel level.
Is the DRDN20-48 suitable for a narrow DIN rail cabinet where space is limited?
Yes, the housing measures 125.2 x 102.0 x 32.0 mm, so it keeps a slim 32.0 mm profile on DIN rail. That makes it easier to place in narrow control cabinets while still supporting 48V systems up to 20A continuous.
What are the differences between the DRDN20-48 and the lower-voltage DRDN20 versions?
The DRDN20-48 is the 48V version with a 36-60Vdc input range and a 65Vdc max. input reverse voltage. The DRDN20-24 is the 24V version with 19-29Vdc input, and the DRDN20-12 is the 12V version with 9-14Vdc input, both with 40Vdc max. input reverse voltage. Across the series, current is 20A continuous, dimensions stay 125.2 x 102.0 x 32.0 mm, weight is 0.35 kg, operating temperature is -40°C to +80°C (with derating), and approvals are IEC62368-1, UL62368-1 and EAC TP TC 004.
Can the DRDN20-48 be used in a control cabinet exposed to harsh temperatures?
The specified operating range is -40°C to +80°C, with load derating at high ambient temperatures per the derating curve, so it is designed for wide-temperature cabinet environments. Since no IP rating is listed, it is best treated as a control cabinet or enclosure component rather than an exposed-environment device.
