Mean Well DDR-240B-48 DC-DC Converter - 240W - 16.8~33.6V in 48V out
Description
Description
The DDR-240B is a 240W DIN Rail type DC-DC converter designed for rolling stock and railway applications requiring compliance with EN50155 standards. With an input range of 16.8~33.6Vdc (nominal 24Vdc), it converts from standard on-board DC bus supplies to isolated 12V, 24V, or 48V outputs. Built to withstand shock and vibration per IEC61373, it operates reliably from -40~+70°C and supports current sharing for higher-power parallel configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the DDR-240B-48 to generate a 48V supply for PoE switches from a 24V battery bank?
Yes. The DDR-240B-48 accepts 16.8-33.6V DC input and outputs 48V at up to 5A (240W). It can step up a 24V battery bus to 48V for powering PoE switches, PoE injectors, or 48V networking equipment in remote or off-grid installations.
Is the DDR-240B-48 suitable for powering 48V telecom equipment from a 24V DC source?
Yes. The DDR-240B-48 converts a 16.8-33.6V DC input to a regulated 48V at 5A. This makes it well suited for stepping up a 24V bus to the 48V nominal level required by telecom rectifier systems, base station equipment, or DC power distribution units.
Can the DDR-240B-48 power 48V motor controllers or servo drives in an automation panel?
The DDR-240B-48 provides 240W at 48V/5A, which can power small 48V brushless DC motor controllers, servo drives, or stepper motor drivers. For motor loads with high inrush currents, verify that peak demand does not exceed the converter's output capability.
Can the DDR-240B-48 operate in an unventilated outdoor enclosure in desert or tropical climates?
The DDR-240B-48 is rated for -40°C to +85°C and uses fanless convection cooling. In sealed outdoor enclosures exposed to direct sun in hot climates, internal temperatures can exceed ambient significantly. Ensure adequate enclosure sizing or thermal management to keep internal temperature within the rated range, especially at full 240W load.
What input voltage range options are available for DDR-240 models with 48V output?
The DDR series offers three 240W/48V models with different input ranges: DDR-240B-48 (16.8-33.6V input), DDR-240C-48 (33.6-67.2V input), and DDR-240D-48 (67.2-154V input). Each delivers 48V at 5A. Select the variant that matches your DC source voltage.
Can the DDR-240B-48 be used in a renewable energy system to step up 24V solar battery output to 48V for an inverter input stage?
Yes. The DDR-240B-48 can convert a 24V solar battery bank (within 16.8-33.6V) to 48V at up to 5A for feeding inverter input stages, charge controllers, or 48V DC distribution buses. The 4KVdc I/O isolation provides galvanic separation between the battery bank and the 48V bus.
