Using an advanced switch-mode design, it delivers a tightly regulated 13.8 VDC output at up to 30A continuous, making it ideal for heavy-duty vehicle, marine, and industrial applications where reliable voltage reduction is required.


Key Technology

  • 30A Continuous Output
    Provides up to 30A continuous with current limiting at 35A for protection during overload conditions.

  • High-Efficiency Switch-Mode Design
    Delivers approximately 92% efficiency, reducing heat generation and energy loss.

  • Precision Voltage Regulation
    Stable 13.8 VDC ±0.1 V output with 3% regulation for sensitive 12V electronics.

  • Temperature-Controlled Cooling Fan
    Active cooling ensures reliable performance under sustained high-current loads.

  • Comprehensive Protection Circuitry
    Includes reverse polarity fuse protection, overload (current limiting), over-voltage (load dump protection), short circuit protection, and thermal protection.


Best Uses

  • Earth-Moving & Heavy Equipment
    Reliable 12V power from 24V electrical systems.

  • Heavy Trucks & Buses
    Supports lighting, communication, and accessory loads.

  • Marine Vehicles
