Meanwell AC/DC converter IRM-60-12

[Ehsan_Ul_Haq]

Hi Everyone,

I am designing a circuit in which I intend to use the IRM-60-12, a Mean Well 60W 12V AC/DC converter. The datasheet states that the input requirement is 85-305V AC and 47-440Hz. It has built-in EMI circuitry and a bridge rectifier. My two basic questions are:

1. The input specified is Line-to-Neutral. Is it possible to connect it with Line-to-Line as per the American standard, which is 220V L-L?
2. If I connect a bridge rectifier (for some purpose) at the input, will it still operate as specified in the datasheet?

Hi,

1) since the IRM can not destinguish between L and N ... it does not matter which one is which ... or if it is L and L.
Also the IRM may be used on devices with power cords ... if they get plugged into the outlet ther is a 50% chance that L and N are interchanged.

2) The datasheet should tell.
