Re: [AFMUG] Traco BCMU360 24 or 48v

Maybe as long as the power consumption is below 100 watts or so. Once you get into higher power requirements; maybe around 200 watts, I would always start with a 48 volt system. bp On 4/3/2018 7:35 PM, Mathew Howard wrote: Yeah, but if the entire thing is

Re: [AFMUG] Traco BCMU360 24 or 48v

Yeah, but if the entire thing is contained inside a 2' square box, the difference in wiring between 48v and 24v isn't really anything to be concerned about. I don't think there's much of a difference in efficiency between upconverting and downconverting, and I can't see what else is going to

Re: [AFMUG] Traco BCMU360 24 or 48v

It's always easier to down-convert from 48V to 24V, mainly because of the current considerations. 48 watts at 48 volts is one amp, but when pulled from a 24V system, you end up with 2 amps. At 24 volts, the current demands can mean you have to use bigger wire to support everything. At small
