MEAN WELL DRC-40A Módulo SAI DC de carril DIN 40W con cargador de batería para sistemas de 24V

Deliver continuous 24V DC power with the MEAN WELL DRC-40A, a compact DIN rail UPS module that seamlessly combines a 40W DC UPS, battery charger, and battery protection in one unit. With a continuous output current of 1.5A and support for 24V lead-acid batteries, it ensures your critical loads stay operational during mains interruptions.

Overview

The DRC-40A operates from a 24V DC input (typically from an external power supply) and provides a regulated 24V DC output. In normal operation, it passes through the input voltage while simultaneously charging the connected battery using a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) method. When the input fails, the module instantly switches to battery power, delivering up to 1.5A to the load. Built-in protections include short circuit, overload, over voltage, battery reverse polarity, and battery low disconnect, safeguarding both the module and the battery.

What stands out

• All-in-one DC UPS, charger, and battery protection in a compact DIN rail housing.
• Supports 24V lead-acid batteries with a maximum charging current of 1.5A.
• Relay alarm signals for DC OK, battery fail, and battery discharge for remote monitoring.
• Wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C with free air convection cooling.
• High efficiency of over 85% reduces heat and energy consumption.
• Compliance with UL, cUL, TUV, CB, and CE ensures global acceptance.
