MEAN WELL DDRH-45-12DR is an isolated DDRH-45 DC/DC converter in the DR configuration for DIN rail mounting. It provides 12 V at 3.75 A with a 45 W rated output from a 150–1500 VDC input. Reinforced 4 kVAC input-to-output isolation, full encapsulation and fanless convection cooling suit auxiliary supplies in photovoltaic, energy-storage, industrial-control and other high-voltage DC-bus equipment.

Required Input Fuse and EMC Components
| Required external input fuse |
4 A / 1500 VDC |
| Suggested fuse-and-holder ordering code |
WJ30-4_WJ30-H |
| Fuse manufacturer |
WalterFuse |
| Fuse part number |
WJ30-4 |
| Fuse-holder part number |
WJ30-H |
| External EMC chokes |
L1, L2 and L3: three 20 mH common-mode chokes, SQ1515 reference |
| External EMC capacitors |
C1 and C2: 0.33 µF / 1500 VDC each |
| External EMC resistors |
R1 and R2: 3 MΩ, 1/2 W, voltage rating at least 800 V each |
An external input fuse is required. The suggested WalterFuse WJ30-4 fuse and WJ30-H holder can be ordered as WJ30-4_WJ30-H using the catalogue ordering reference. This external assembly is selected separately from the converter; the listed converter mass does not include it.
The suggested circuit on physical PDF page 22 places the fuse in the positive input lead and adds the listed chokes, capacitors and resistors. Conducted and radiated Class A performance is specified with these external components. Follow that circuit for this family and confirm EMC in the completed equipment.
