Test conditions and notes4
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at normal input (5V/12V/24V/48V) , rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Derating may be needed over high ambient temperature. Please check the derating curve for more details.
  3. 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. 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

What does the Mean Well ERDN20-12 do?

The ERDN20-12 is a redundancy module designed for DC power systems rather than a standalone AC-DC power supply. It supports 1+1 and N+1 redundant setups by taking two DC inputs and providing one DC output, helping maintain output if one supply path fails.

Is the ERDN20-12 specifically for 12V systems only?

Yes. The ERDN20 series covers 5V, 12V, 24V and 48V systems, but each model is made for one system voltage. The ERDN20-12 is the 12V version, with a 12Vdc normal input voltage and a 9~14Vdc input range; the ERDN20-5, ERDN20-24 and ERDN20-48 cover the other system voltages.

What current capacity does the ERDN20-12 support?

This redundancy module is rated for output current up to 20A. It also allows peak current of 0-30A per input for 5 seconds, and the overload and short circuit protection notes specify no damage below 30A for 5 seconds.

When is the ERDN20-12 a better choice than using a single DC power supply?

The ERDN20-12 is intended for systems that need higher power-path reliability than a single supply can provide. It is a practical choice for industrial control and other DC applications where a redundant 1+1 or N+1 architecture is preferred to reduce downtime risk.

Can the ERDN20-12 be used in demanding industrial environments?

It is specified for operation from -40 to +80 degrees C (with derating above +60 degrees C) and uses free air convection cooling, which suits a wide range of industrial environments. The module also lists EMC compliance to EN55032 Class B and EN61000-4 immunity standards, along with IEC62368-1 and UL62368-1 safety standards.

Does the ERDN20-12 provide status monitoring for redundancy systems?

Yes. It includes built-in 2-channel DC OK signaling and an alarm relay contact for status indication. The general specification also lists the DC OK signal as relay contact.
