Efficient voltage converters for demanding applications – Safe, constant, shock resistant

The number of electronic devices used in vehicles is steadily increasing. These are generally designed for 12 V, e.g. Entertainment electronics, navigation systems, cooling boxes and much more. In order to be able to operate these 12 V loads also in board systems with 24 V, the use of a DC/DC voltage converter is mandatory.

IVT switch mode voltage transformers were developed to provide a higher 24 V Voltage system into a lower 12 V-System. The highly efficient electronics guarantee a trouble-free and safe operation of 12 V DC devices. All IVT converters are shock-resistant. The encapsulated electronics as well as the robust metal housing guarantee a long-term use under the harshest conditions. All current protective circuits are integrated as standard. The fixed installation in vehicles with road approval is permitted due to the E-certification.

Important characteristics and features

Stable and constant output voltage

+

Input voltage range from 18 V DC to 30 V DC, the IVT voltage converter reliably delivers a stabilized and constant output voltage of 13.8 V. This output voltage can be used as a power supply for various 12 V consumers, e.g. Entertainment electronics, navigation systems or cooling boxes.

Shock-resistant

+

The encapsulated electronics guarantee long-term operation under the most adverse conditions. Even with constant shocks and vibrations, e.g. in large construction machines, the voltage transformer works absolutely reliably and safely.

The DC/DC voltage transformer has been tested to EN 60068-2-6/14/64/27.

Very high efficiency – minimum own power consumption

+

Due to the efficient technical design, the efficiency of the 20 A version is 97 % and the stand by current can be reduced to a minimum of 2 mA.

Robust and compact metal housing

+

Thanks to the ingenious design, the converter is particularly compact. The robust aluminum housing also provides optimum protection against impacts and damage from the outside. Stable mounting is possible thanks to the holes in the bottom plate.

Standard protection circuits

+

This voltage converter is equipped with all common protection circuits naturally integrated as standard. The device is protected against polarity reversal Short circuit protected at input and output. In case of an overload, the Output voltage is automatically reset at constant current. Should nevertheless the vehicle fuse is triggered, it can be exchanged quickly and easily in case of need.

E-certification – suitable for permanent installation in the vehicle

+

Thanks to the E-certification, this converter is suitable for permanent installation in a wide range of vehicles with 24 V vehicle voltage. The scope of application therefore ranges from construction site vehicles, forklift trucks, touring busses, snowmobiles to trucks and motor homes and boats.

Application in 24 V Solar off-grid systems

+

Even with an existing 24 V solar off-grid system, the use of an IVT voltage transformer is recommended to reduce the voltage to 12 V. This means that existing or inexpensive 12 V devices can be used without any problems.

3 year manufacturer warranty

+

IVT products are manufactured to a high quality and following strict quality guidelines. We are certain about the longevity so that we add another year to the statutory manufacturer warranty free of charge. Rechargeable batteries and batteries are excluded from this warranty.
