Description:

Some applications for the Off-Grid energy system monitoring and management solution require specific operating voltages such as 5V, 12V, 24V or 48V. This is enabled with this generic DC/DC converter module, which uses standard DOSA-standard converter bricks. This module in conjunction with such a DC/DC brick enables the addition of fully isolated power sources up to about 600 watts.

DC/DC Converter

Specifications:

  • DOSA-compliant DC/DC module, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32 brick
