Hey everyone,
At risk of sounding dumb here I go.![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
We are designing a basic electrical system that will have a regulated 12 volt, 10A source (A stator on a small engine) and I need to convert it to 24 volts to power two clutches. I am thinking about using two http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Cincon/CHB50-12S24/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtwaiKVUtQsNZk%2fyhBUJKktmTV1yafdAHw%3d" . I am not very confident in the dc/dc converters I can find in our price range and I had a few questions.
If we use the converters to charge two 12 volt batteries wired in series and then powered the clutches off of the batteries are the converters at risk of pulling to much current. The converters should be able to handle the current requirements of the clutches but I just need to make sure that there is zero possibility of them failing. So in some freak accident where the clutches pull a bit more than they should, how will this affect the current going through the converters?
Hopefully that isn't to confusing, if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks,
Rob
