DC Converters

Type DCW-5751

Scope The DC Converter Type DCW-5751 is a primary switched DC converter designed to generate different consumer voltage levels from a central DC voltage, ranging from 12 V to 220 V for input and 12 V to 125 V for output. These converters are ideal for various industrial applications, particularly in the railway sector, where reliable power conversion and galvanic isolation are critical. The modules are designed for cabinet installation and can be paralleled for increased performance and redundancy.
