Test conditions and notes5
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
  5. 5. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

FAQ

What kinds of systems is the AD-55A designed to support?

The Mean Well AD-55A is designed for lower-power security and backup-power applications that need a 13.8V DC output. With 51.38W of rated power and 3.5A output current, it is a practical fit for smaller alarm, access control, and related low-voltage support loads that benefit from UPS-style DC supply behavior.

Can the AD-55A be used in battery-backed security power systems?

Yes. The AD-55A is a single-output supply with a built-in battery charger (UPS function), so it is suitable for systems where the DC load is part of a battery-backed architecture. The connected equipment still needs to remain within the supply's 13.8V, 3.5A, and 51.38W rating.

Is the AD-55A better for smaller 13.8V loads than the AD-155 series?

It suits modest loads. The AD-55A provides 13.8V at 3.5A rated current (0-4A current range) for 51.38W of rated power, which makes it a fit for lighter-duty systems. The AD-155 series is not covered by this datasheet, so check that model's own datasheet before comparing capacities.

Will the AD-55A run from common AC mains inputs?

Yes. The listed AC input range is 88-264VAC, so the AD-55A can operate from common AC mains environments within that range, including typical 120V and 240V supplies. That helps simplify deployment across multiple sites.

How does the AD-55A compare with other AD series models?

The AD-55A is the 13.8V model of the AD-55 series, providing 51.38W at 13.8V and 3.5A. By comparison, the AD-55B delivers 53.92W at 27.6V and 1.8A. Both share the same 88-264VAC input range and 159*97*38mm size, so the choice comes down to your required output voltage (12V vs 24V battery systems) and load size.
