1.5 kW step-down converter for 12 V and 24 V vehicle systems
The GC-DCD-1.5KW is a 1.5 kW step-down DC/DC converter that supplies the 12 V or 24 V system of an electric vehicle from its traction battery. Five input classes (48 V, 72 V, 96 V, 144 V and 320 V) and two outputs (14 V 107 A or 28 V 53 A) cover most EV platforms. It delivers 1 800 W peak for six minutes, is fan cooled, IP67 sealed and CAN 2.0B controlled.
