These products offer a convenient way to
operate mass produced 12Vdc equipment,
such as cell phones, in car entertainment
equipment, professional communication
equipment, refrigerators, televisions, etc.
from the 24Vdc mobile electrical systems
found on diesel engined vehicles and vessels
and the 28Vdc systems found on aircraft.
The PowerVerter converter series, is a sub group
of our PowerSelecter range of converters that
offer a wide range of input and output voltages
between 12Vdc and 48Vdc (see the PowerSelecter
leaflet). For voltages above 48Vdc see our
PowerMaster Converter leaflet.
products from 3 Amps to 30 Amps in isolated or
common earth configurations. They have been
optimised for high volume 24Vdc to 12Vdc
applications such as on heavy goods vehicles,
coaches, buses, construction, forestry and
agricultural vehicles and commercial vessels,
yachts and all types of aircraft. Consequently
they are manufactured at low cost and offer
excellent value for money. All the products may
also be used for constant voltage lead-acid

It’s your choice. The PowerVerter range offers an
isolated option at every power rating. Some
vehicle manufacturers, such as Scania, require
that ‘the converter shall be ground loss
protected’ . This means that the output voltage
shall not exceed the specification if the supply
ground connection or/and the load ground
connection is lost. This requires an isolated
converter. Isolated converters also prevent a
direct connection between the 24Vdc input and
the 12Vdc appliance in the case of a
semiconductor failure.
All the PowerVerter products are CE marked, e
The converters operate with a power
conversion efficiency as high as 93%.
This results in very little heat being
generated. The reliability of
semiconductors is inversely proportional
to temperature so high efficiency leads
to high reliability. The Mean Time

There are no ventilation holes to permit stray
objects, dust or water droplets to enter the
case. No external fuses to be tampered with.
Fuses will only blow if there is a fault so there
is no need to make them accessible.
All the units consume an off load current of less
than 15mA, which is probably less than the self
discharge current of the vehicle’s battery. In most
cases this can be ignored, speeding the installation
by removing the need to fit a remote switch.

allowing it to be mounted on uneven surfaces.
It is easy to fit the clip into awkward places and
then simply click the unit into position.
A red LED indicates when there is output from
the converter, this gives reassurance to the
installation engineer and speeds fault finding.
