MEAN WELL DHP-1UT-B is a 1U, 19-inch terminal-block rack shelf for matching 24 V or 48 V NCP-3200 power supply / charger modules. The listed system ratings require the stated populated configuration; the rack alone does not generate those outputs. Select the modules and protocol configuration separately and confirm what is included in the order.

The electrical examples in this section use four identical modules connected in parallel. They describe configurations of this rack model, not separate rack ordering codes. The 4760 g value is the catalogue packing reference for one rack, not the mass of a populated four-module system or a measured shipping weight.
The blank voltage suffix identifies the 24 V / 48 V rack. Fit a uniform set of one model, not mixed 24 V and 48 V modules. Power supply operation is the module default; the low-voltage modules can also be configured for battery charging. The catalogue headline “12800 W” is a series designation; use the model-specific totals above.
Input and Installation Limits
| Configured-system AC input |
90–264 VAC |
| Configured-system DC input |
127–400 VDC |
| Input frequency |
47–63 Hz |
| Typical input current per module |
17 A at 230 VAC |
| Leakage per module |
<2 mA at 230 VAC |
| Three- or four-module full-load ambient limit |
40°C |
The system leakage current depends on the number of installed modules. Do not treat the per-module input-current or leakage values as the total for a populated rack. All normal test values use 230 VAC, rated load and 25°C ambient unless otherwise specified.
Installed NCP modules require input derating: 50% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 180 VAC and remaining at 100% to 264 VAC at 60 Hz. Their horizontal thermal curve is 80% at −30°C, 100% from −20 to +50°C, then 50% at +70°C; −30 to −20°C requires 230 VAC. The rack adds the stricter +40°C full-load limit when three or four modules are populated. Observe both module and rack limits and maintain front-to-rear airflow.
Charger Configurations
| 24 V configuration default boost charge voltage |
28.8 V |
| 24 V configuration default float charge voltage |
27.6 V |
| 24 V configuration charging current range |
0–440 A |
| 48 V configuration default boost charge voltage |
57.6 V |
| 48 V configuration default float charge voltage |
55.2 V |
| 48 V configuration charging current range |
0–220 A |
These charging ranges require four matching NCP-3200-24 or four matching NCP-3200-48 modules. Select charger mode and curve settings through the fitted PMBus/CANBus interface or SBP-001. The default charging curve is three-stage CC/CV/float, with two-stage CC/CV also available; the indicated transition current is 10% of CC.
Module default CC is 110 A for the 24 V class and 55 A for the 48 V class. The programmable boost/float defaults are 28.8/27.6 V and 57.6/55.2 V. Preset gel values are 28/27.2 V or 56/54.4 V; flooded values 28.4/26.8 V or 56.8/53.6 V; AGM values 29/27 V or 58/54 V. Two-stage presets omit float. Confirm settings and allowable current with the battery manufacturer for the intended flooded/gel/AGM lead-acid or listed lithium-ion iron/manganese battery. A module’s suggested Ah range is not a guaranteed rack-wide battery range.
Output Voltage and Current Programming
| PV adjustment |
50–125% of the graph’s nominal reference voltage |
| PC adjustment |
20–100% of rated current |
| PV connection |
CN1 pin 26 to CN1 pin 24 (−V signal) |
| PC connection |
CN1 pin 25 to CN1 pin 24 (−V signal) |
PV applies to power supply operation. The graph uses 24/48 V as the 100% voltage reference. Below 0.4 V control input the output is at its factory setting; 0.4–1 V selects 50%, then the curve rises nonlinearly toward 125% at approximately 4.7 V control input. Use the published curve rather than assuming a linear conversion over the entire control range.
Available output current changes with the voltage setting: 80% from 50–90% output voltage, rising to 100% at 95%, then remaining at 100% through 100% voltage. Above that, current decreases to 80% at 125% voltage (30 V or 60 V). The graph’s 100% current reference is 532/268 A. Always keep output within the maximum power limit.
For PC, 0.4–1 V control input corresponds to 20% current; the nonlinear rising region reaches 100% at 4.7 V and remains at 100% to 5 V. The plot below 0.4 V is an approximately 110% limiting region, not an additional rated operating range. Very low constant-current settings can increase ripple.
Remote and Local Sense
Sense is only for 24 V / 48 V power supply operation. CN2 pin 1 (+S) goes to load positive and pin 2 (−S) to load negative. Use a twisted or shielded sensing pair away from load-current wiring. Compensation is up to 0.5 V, and output-wire drop must remain less than 0.5 V.
Without remote sensing, join CN2 pin 1 to pin 3 (+V signal), and pin 2 to pin 4 (−V signal). These local-sense links are required for correct voltage; leaving sense incorrectly connected can raise output and trigger OVP. Signal pins must not carry load current.
Parallel Racks and Communication
| Maximum parallel assembly |
10 rack shelves / 40 identical modules |
| Output-voltage matching |
Less than 0.2 V difference |
| Recommended current reduction |
10% of the summed module current |
| PMBus configuration |
Revision 1.1, maximum 100 kHz |
| CANBus configuration |
CAN 2.0B; catalogue speed printed as maximum 250 KHz |
Select the communication protocol through the installed module ordering codes and compatible control arrangement. The rack provides the interconnections; the generic rack model is not a promise that unlike protocol modules can be mixed.
Parallel operation requires identical models and output-voltage/current settings. Configure the shelves in parallel before connecting the common load; do not connect each shelf independently to the load first. Join DA, DB and −V control signals, with twisted +S/−S wiring where the low-voltage PSU sense function applies. Long cables can inject noise; use the appropriate termination accessory in an unused JK1 connection.
The catalogue example is eight NCP-3200-24 modules in two shelves: 133 A × 8 × 0.9 = 957.6 A recommended total. This reduction helps avoid unequal current limiting caused by component tolerance. Under multiple-rack operation, light-load ripple may be higher; the parallel-operation note specifies a return to normal above 10% of total rated load.

DF11-**SC is a contact-family entry with an unspecified suffix. Select the actual contact for the wire assembly instead of treating the wildcard as a complete order code.
For whole-rack control, connect the four ON/OFF signals to +5V-AUX through the control switch; individual switches can control the four modules separately. Short / 4.5–5.5 V is ON, open / −0.5 to +0.5 V is OFF; maximum input is 5.5 V. An open ON/OFF connection gives no main output.
AUX ratings are 5 V at 0.3 A, ±10%, 150 mVp-p ripple and 12 V at 0.8 A, ±10%, 450 mVp-p ripple. These are the listed auxiliary-system values, not four times those values. The +12V-AUX path has OR-ing diodes and is not controlled by remote ON/OFF.

Signals and Status Indicators
Alarm outputs are isolated TTL, referenced to GND-AUX, output-only and rated 10 mA maximum. High is 3.5–5.5 V and low is −0.5 to +0.5 V. AC-OK is high at input ≥87 Vrms and low at ≤75 Vrms. T-ALARM is high for temperature alarm or fan failure, and low during normal operation.
In power supply mode, DC-OK is high when output is ≤77% ±5%, and low when output is ≥80% ±5%. In charger mode the thresholds are ≤66% ±5% high and ≥67% ±5% low; DC-OK is associated with battery-low protection.
The status LED is green during normal power supply operation and steady red for abnormal protection/fan status. Flashing red at an internal temperature of 60°C signals an alarm while normal operation continues without entering OTP. In charger mode, orange identifies CC/CV charging, green identifies float, and red also covers charging timeout. The two-stage graph identifies green at battery full.
Protection of the Populated System
Protection is provided by the installed NCP modules. In PSU operation, overload is 105–115% rated current with constant-current limiting followed by shutdown after 5 seconds; re-power after the output falls to recover. Output below 80% of Vset for 5 seconds also shuts down. Overtemperature shuts down output and recovers automatically after cooling.
For 24 V modules, overvoltage shutdown is 31.5–37.5 V; for 48 V modules it is 63–75 V. Re-power to recover. Charger mode uses the corresponding overvoltage and overtemperature protections, with DC-OK associated with battery-low protection.
The modules include OR-ing isolation and support hot swap. Use the rack installation procedure and the correct voltage-class rack. The protection functions do not remove the need for correctly rated external wiring and system protection.
