Mean Well Introduces 90-100W Single Output DIN Rail Switching Power Supplies

September 04, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

Mean Well has introduced its new DR-100 series – a 90-100W single output Class II DIN rail switching power supply for DIN rail applications. Offering a Class II protection level (double insulated, no earth ground wire is required), the DR-100 series is said to provide users a safer operating environment since the whole plastic case is free from hazardous leakage current. Featuring up to 89% efficiency, this series can be cooled by free air convection. To compensate for wiring voltage drops, the output voltage can be adjusted from the front panel, and the colored LED indicator also give an immediate visual conformation of the output status.

The company claims that a unique feature – "no load power consumption < 1W" – has also been incorporated into the DR-100 series. This is claimed to provide great advantages for more industrial/commercial applications that have energy-saving concerns to differentiate themselves. Complying with the global safety and EMC requirements per UL60950-1, TUV EN60950-1, and EN55022 Class B, these low profile switchers are suitable to be installed in a power distribution box or a control cabinet and hence the major application fields are building automation, security, and household appliance control.
