Test conditions and notes4
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at normal input (5V/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 ERDN20-5 for redundant 5V logic or embedded control power?
Yes, this model is the 5V version of the redundancy module, with a 4.5~6Vdc input range and a 20A continuous rating. It is suited to 5V systems that need redundant power architecture instead of a single-source design.
Is the ERDN20-5 suitable for 5V industrial computers or controller electronics that require redundancy?
It can be a fit when the equipment runs on 5V and the total load stays within 20A continuous. The listed support for 1+1 and 1+N redundancy is relevant for electronics that need higher uptime on a 5V rail.
Can the ERDN20-5 be used in a 5V automation system that needs alarm or status signaling?
Yes, the feature list includes relay contacts for monitoring power status. For a 5V redundant bus, that allows status monitoring alongside the module's 20A output capability.
How does the ERDN20-5 compare with the 12V, 24V, and 48V ERDN20 models?
The series includes the ERDN20-5 for 5V, ERDN20-12 for 12V, ERDN20-24 for 24V and ERDN20-48 for 48V systems, with each version rated at 20A. ERDN20-5 is the lowest-voltage model, with a 4.5~6Vdc input range and 97% typical efficiency versus 98% on the other versions.
Is the ERDN20-5 meant for outdoor use or temperature-challenging indoor equipment?
The operating temperature range is -40°C to +80°C, with derating above +60°C, which supports demanding indoor temperature conditions. No IP rating is listed, so the provided specs do not indicate outdoor-rated enclosure protection.
