Do you have a question about the Mean Well DRC-100 Series and is the answer not in the manual?
The MEAN WELL DRC-100 series is a 96W AC/DC DIN rail type security power supply with a built-in battery charger (UPS function). This series is designed to provide a primary output along with a charger output, enabling backup power supply applications, particularly for security access systems.
The DRC-100 operates by accepting a universal input voltage ranging from 90VAC to 264VAC. It then supplies a regulated DC output, specifically 13.8VDC for the DRC-100A model and 27.6VDC for the DRC-100B model. In addition to the primary DC output, it features a charger output with a smaller rated current, which is crucial for maintaining a connected backup battery. When AC mains power is available, the unit simultaneously charges the battery and provides power to the load. In the event of an AC mains failure, the connected battery automatically takes over to supply power to the load, ensuring continuous operation (UPS function).
The device incorporates several key protection features to ensure reliable and safe operation. These include short circuit protection, overload protection, and over voltage protection for the outputs. For battery management, it provides battery low protection and battery reverse polarity protection, with the latter implemented via a fuse.
To facilitate system integration and monitoring, the DRC-100 series includes alarm signals for "AC OK" and "Battery Low." These signals are provided via relay contact outputs, allowing external systems to monitor the status of the AC input and the battery charge level. The "AC OK" signal indicates whether the AC mains power is present, while the "Battery Low" signal alerts when the battery voltage drops below a specified threshold.
The power supply is designed for efficient operation, with an efficiency of up to 89%. It utilizes free air convection for cooling, allowing it to operate across a wide ambient temperature range from -30°C to +70°C. An LED indicator is present to show the power-on status of the unit.
