If you are only using a half amp, 2-3 1N4004 diodes in series will give you the drop you need.

Like to know what kind of regulator they are using.

I had a case in the past in which the client exceded the 52VDC and the radios got damage, so I will not suggest to use 54VDC.

Is there a DIN mountable voltage regulator that will allow me to feed load from 48v battery string without going over 50v at 6-10A? I’m still trying to power a couple of MetroLinq 2.5 antennas at the site, but people tell me they explode if given more than say 52v. Which means my float battery system will kill the radios if it goes into recharge mode at 54v? Or am I overthinking things? Looks like to solve this I would need something like Mean Well $100 SD-350B-48 between the battery array and the load to assure it sticks around 50v. Is that my only solution here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
