[PSUBS-MAILIST] power supply

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,step up, or step down? What voltage is your power supply?There are plenty of cheap buck (step down) or boost (step up) dc / dc converters on ebay.Just make sure the continuous amp rating is more than your coms.Sometimes they sell buck / boost converters & specify that if you want to drawover a certain amps, then you need to add cooling, most likely in the form of a heat sink.

Hi All,Progress is good with Elementary 3000, I just installed my speed controllers and sure like them.  Got some for Gamma also.  I am nearing the last item to wire and that is the coms, they are 24V.  I only have one option to create 24V and that is to make a circuit that includes the battery in the hydraulic tank.  My spider senses are telling me that is a bad idea?  It would be very simple, or I will have to find a step up power converter?HankOh ya, I can operate the manipulator from inside the sub now, it is pretty sweet!
