MDC | MDCI
Description
DC-DC voltage converters are used when the DC output voltage of the PV system does not meet the needs of the consumers.
As a voltage level of 12 V is required for most low-voltage devices such as lamps, multimedia devices, radios or mobile phones, the different types of voltage converters provide a stable 12 V supply. If, for example, a 12 V energy-saving lamp is operated in a 24 V or 48 V system, a suitable DC-DC voltage converter must be inserted between the load output of the charge controller and the 12 V energy-saving lamp.
The MDC and MDCI voltage converters are designed for use in photovoltaic systems. The types with an output voltage of 13.8 V can also be used as a battery charger of a 12 V battery in a 24 V system.
For safety reasons, the MDCI series is galvanically isolated to protect the consumers. Both the MDCI and MDC series are protected against high voltage peaks at the input, preventing any damaging surges at the input of the loads.
