Test conditions and notes6
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 48, 96VDC 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. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. 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 )
- 5. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 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).

FAQ
Can I use the SD-500L-24 for 24V PLC or industrial automation loads?
Yes, this unit provides constant-voltage 24V output for systems that need regulated 24V DC. It supports up to 21A and 504W, with a 19-72V input range for higher-voltage source systems.
Is the SD-500L-24 a fit for 24V embedded controllers or industrial PCs?
It can be used where the equipment requires constant 24V DC and the available source is within the 19-72V input range. Its 504W rating and 21A output capacity make it suitable for higher-power 24V embedded platforms and control hardware.
Can this model support 24V sensors, relays, and control accessories from a vehicle or battery bus?
Yes, provided the connected 24V loads stay within 21A and 504W. The 4:1 wide input range allows it to be used where the source varies across a 19-72V range but the downstream equipment still needs regulated 24V.
Can the SD-500L-24 be used in telecom or network equipment that runs on 24V DC?
It is appropriate for 24V telecom, network, or monitoring equipment that needs constant-voltage output up to 504W. The remote ON/OFF control and remote sense features also align with managed equipment applications.
How does the SD-500L-24 compare with the other SD-500L versions?
The SD-500L-24 is rated for 504W at 24V and 21A. In the same SD-500L family, the SD-500L-12 is 480W at 12V and 40A, while the SD-500L-48 is 504W at 48V and 10.5A. All three list the same 19-72V input range, 215.0 × 115.0 × 50.0 mm size, 1.15 kg weight, and -20°C to +60°C operating temperature.
Can the SD-500L-24 be used where ambient temperatures change a lot?
The specified operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C. No IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so temperature capability is defined, but outdoor exposure protection is not.
