MEAN WELL NDR-480-48 is a single-output industrial DIN rail power supply rated at 48 V DC, 10 A and 480 W. It accepts 90–264 VAC or 127–370 VDC and combines active PFC, adjustable output and free-air convection in an 85.5 mm-wide metal housing. It mounts on TS-35/7.5 or TS-35/15 rail and provides an LED power indicator.

Model and DC Output
| Complete model |
NDR-480-48; NDR-480 catalogue revision 2025-01-10. NDR identifies the series, 480 the output-wattage class, and 48 the nominal output voltage. |
| Rated output |
48 V DC / 10 A / 480 W; output-current range 0–10 A. |
| Output adjustment |
48–55 V using +V ADJ. Observe the rated current and power limits when adjusting voltage. |
| Ripple and noise |
150 mVp-p maximum; measured at 20 MHz bandwidth with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. |
| Voltage tolerance |
±1.0%, including setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. |
| Line / load regulation |
±0.5% / ±1.0%, respectively. |
| Typical efficiency |
92.5% at the default 230 VAC input, rated-load and 25°C ambient test conditions. |
The constant-current protection circuit supports inductive or capacitive load applications within the specified operating limits. Protection operation is not an additional continuous output rating.
Input and Timing
| AC / DC input |
90–264 VAC or 127–370 VDC; AC frequency 47–63 Hz. |
| Active PFC / power factor |
Built-in active PFC. The typical-value table states PF >0.98 at 115 VAC and PF >0.94 at 230 VAC, at full load. |
| Typical AC input current |
4.8 A at 115 VAC; 2.4 A at 230 VAC. |
| Typical inrush current |
20 A at 115 VAC; 35 A at 230 VAC. |
| Leakage current |
Less than 2 mA at 240 VAC. |
| Setup / rise time |
1500 / 100 ms at 230 VAC; 3000 / 100 ms at 115 VAC, at full load. |
| Typical hold-up time |
16 ms at 230 VAC; 16 ms at 115 VAC, at full load. |
| Block-diagram switching frequency |
PFC: 85 kHz; PWM: 65 kHz, as labelled in the block diagram. |
Unless otherwise specified, parameters are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Low-input-voltage operation is subject to load derating.
Protection and Indication
| Short circuit / overload |
105–130% of rated output power; constant-current limiting, followed by shutdown after 3 seconds. Re-power to recover. |
| Overvoltage |
56–65 V; output shutdown, then re-power to recover. |
| Overtemperature |
Output shutdown, with automatic recovery after the temperature decreases. No numerical trip temperature is stated in this model’s specification. |
| Front indication / adjustment |
The front drawing identifies a DC OK LED indicator and a +V ADJ voltage-adjustment control. |
The protection range is not a published peak-power or duty-cycle rating. Use the model’s rated output together with the input and temperature derating curves.
Cooling, Derating and Environment
| Housing and cooling |
Metal housing with free-air convection cooling; the temperature curve is specified for vertical mounting. |
| Working temperature / load |
−20 to +70°C. The curve allows 100% load from −20 to +50°C, then decreases along the plotted straight line to 50% at +70°C. |
| Input-voltage derating |
At 60 Hz AC, the curve shows 80% load at 90 VAC, increasing to 100% at 100 VAC; the full-load plateau continues through 264 VAC. |
| Working humidity |
20–95% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage temperature / humidity |
−40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. |
| Vibration |
Component: 10–500 Hz, 2G, 10 min/cycle, 60 min on each X, Y and Z axis. Mounting: compliance with IEC60068-2-6. |
| High-altitude derating |
For this fanless model, reduce the permitted ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1000 m above 2000 m. The footnote does not state a maximum approved operating altitude. |
Apply the input-voltage and temperature limits together, using the more restrictive permissible load. Refer to PDF page 15 for both curves. The +70°C endpoint is not a full-power operating point.
Dimensions, Terminals and Installation
| Body dimensions |
85.5 × 125.2 × 128.5 mm (W × H × D); case 984D; general drawing tolerance ±1 mm. |

| TB1 input terminals |
Pin 1: FG (protective earth); pin 2: AC/N or DC negative; pin 3: AC/L or DC positive. |
| TB2 output terminals |
Pins 1 and 2: +V; pins 3 and 4: −V. |

| Wiring / fastening |
Connect FG to protective earth and follow the actual terminal markings. Consult the unit’s installation instructions for conductor sizes and tightening torques; the mechanical terminal table does not specify those numerical limits. |
Use the front, side and rear views on PDF page 16 for the DIN-rail latch and terminal positions. No separately orderable MEAN WELL rail, bracket, terminal cover, connector or cable accessory code is specified in these NDR-480 pages.
