Boost power supply with built in protections for safe and reliable operation Key benefits - Enables higher voltage output from an input source above 10 V, supporting a variety of higher voltage loads. - Provides safety through dual short circuit protection and a dedicated protection fuse on the input - Automatically safeguards equipment by reducing the output voltage when an overcurrent condition occurs - Simple to integrate with existing systems thanks to straightforward input and protection features - Improves system reliability by limiting fault impact and preventing damage to the power source and connected devices How it works - The unit requires input voltage greater than 10 V to operate properly - If the boost supply is powered from an external input, the input power and the output voltage of that input supply may be the first parameters to drop under fault conditions - When a short circuit is detected, the input is protected by a 40 A fuse, providing dual short circuit protection for safer use - If the input current rises above about 30 A, the device automatically reduces the output voltage to protect both the supply and the load Safety and protection features - Dual short circuit protection with an input 40 A fuse for safer operation - Overcurrent protection engages around 30 A on the input, triggering automatic output voltage reduction Operational notes - Ensure the input source remains above 10 V for proper function - In fault or fault-like conditions, be aware that input and output levels on the supply or connected source may drop as protection engages Applications and use scenarios - Automotive or off grid systems: use a 12 V or higher source to boost voltage for higher voltage loads such as lighting, motors, or auxiliary electronics while benefiting from built in protections - Laboratory bench testing: power test circuits or prototypes that require a higher voltage from a stable input source with protective shutdowns - Prototyping and development: safely evaluate devices that demand higher voltages from a common power source, with automatic protection against overcurrent and short circuits Compatibility and performance notes - Designed to operate with input sources above 10 V - Provides reliable protection while enabling voltage boosting for compatible loads - No additional materials or components required beyond the built in protections and fuse for safe operation
