75 DC to DC Voltage Converters & Dimmers by Solar Converters
Everything priced on this page is in-stock, we ship
Monday through Saturday.

The items on this page allow you to change voltage in a number
of ways.
By Solar Converters.
We have auto transformers and converters to step up or step
down 12, 24 or 48 volts d.c., variable step down converters to
allow you to use low voltage loads with a 12 or 24 volt d.c. input
and lighting dimmers as well as the Solar Converters, Inc.
12/24 volt fan / motor speed controller.

Please look at our selection of fly back and constant voltage
units to see if they fit your voltage conversion needs.


 

For more information about Solar Converters, Inc.
DC Autotransformers / Battery Equalizers
please click onto the following link:
solar converters fly back dc voltage step up step down DC 2:1 "Autotransformer" / Battery Equalizer
Use these high efficiency DC to DC converters to create 1/2 or 2 times the
available battery voltage as well as 1/3 or 3 times and 1/4 or 4 times,
depending on the model.
In other words, these converters are bi-directional, so a single unit can
step up or step down.
Use as a battery equalizer or a DC voltage converter.
For instance, you can run 24 volt loads on 12 volt systems and 12 volt loads
on 24 volt systems with the 12/24 volt model.
Or if you have 12 volt loads connected to half of your 24 volt battery bank,
keep the bank equalized (all batteries the same state of charge) by
connecting the high "+" to the 24 volt terminal, connect the low "+" to the
12 volt point and connect the negative wire to battery negative and keep the
two halves of the battery bank equal.
See the chart below for current maximums.
For example the 12/24 volt model can run 20 amps at 12 volts and 10 amps
at 24 volts.
These are also used when you have a 24 or 48 volt system and need to run
12 or 24 volt loads.  
Many people use these to operate 12 volt lighting from 24 or 48 volt systems.
Efficiency is greater than 95%.
The 2 amp model has a plastic housing.
The larger models include a NEMA 4 weatherproof enclosure.
Dimensions: 4.5" by 2.5" by 2".
These units are made in Canada by Solar Converters.

If you have any questions about these converters, please call us
at (562) 423-4879.
These are NOT designed to be placed between a photovoltaic module
and a charge contoller. The open circuit voltage of the module can
damage the converter.
