PULS UK Launches New 500W DC/DC Down Converter

Feb. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- With an input voltage range between 14 and 32 volts, the new device should prove particularly useful in applications where non-standard output voltages are required in a range from 3.3V. As a step down converter the output voltage must be V in less 1.5V. The new device provides an output of up to 500W and can be used with battery or bus systems.
A further use may be as a current limit device to protect the 24V bus.

At present linear regulators are commonly used to reduce DC supply voltages, but these operate by bleeding off excess power as heat and therefore waste a considerable amount of energy. The advanced technology used in the PULS YD25.241 delivers much greater levels of efficiency and also dramatically reduces the heat generated within the host device.

Although only positive output voltages are possible, the unit is ideal for non-standard voltages below 26.5V, or where an intermediate (e.g. 12 volts) bus is required. The unit has self adjusting over voltage protection, active inrush current limitation and reverse input polarity protection.

As with all PULS products the YD25.241 is DIN-rail mountable making installation simple and quick and at only 32mm x 124mm x 107mm is ideal for both new build and retro fitting.
