Wrenches,
The time has come to upgrade a longtime client's 1985 12V system and
original Trace 1512 inverter. The inverter still works fine after 32
years of continuous operation, but 12V is too limited to allow much
expansion. The power system has numerous 12V loads - mostly lighting
throughout the home, as the 12V SunFrost fridge will also be replaced,
so a 24-12 step-down DC-DC converter is part of the upgrade.
Is there any reason that I shouldn't use a Mean Well RSD-300B-12
(https://www.trcelectronics.com/ecomm/pdf/rsd300.pdf) wouldn't fill the
bill? I'm familiar with this brand, as they were used for years by Array
Technologies to step down voltage to run tracker drives, and I have
never known (or heard of on this list) of a failure. The price is right
too at a bit over $100.
Any reviews, cautions, or other recommendations?
Thank you,
Allan
