The MEAN WELL DDRH-240-24 is a 250–1500 VDC input DIN rail DC/DC converter with a 24 V, 10 A output rated at 240 W. Its 85.5 mm-wide enclosure uses fanless convection cooling and mounts on TS-35/7.5 or TS-35/15 rail. Adjustable output, 4 kVAC reinforced input-to-output isolation and DC OK relay monitoring support high-voltage DC bus, renewable-energy and industrial-control installations within the specified operating limits.
