Deutronic DVCH1503-400 DC/DC Converter

The Deutronic DVCH1503-400 Series is a high-performance, galvanically isolated DC/DC converter designed for demanding mobile power applications operating from high-voltage DC battery systems. Optimised for reliability in harsh environments, the series converts a 400 Vdc nominal input into stable low-voltage DC power for auxiliary loads, control electronics, and onboard systems.
