What would you like in part two? I'm thinking of putting the full 60V into the converter's input ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks! Where is part2 ?? Give it 60V input to see how its doing. Its probably a good choise for solar charging with bigger panels and an Voc > 48 V. Most simple converters go up to 36 or 40 V input and are in many cases even overstressed at that voltage (due to 5V voltage regulator on board rated for 30V only)

    I really like mine. Right now I'm using it to charge a 4s 60ah LiFePO4 bank from a solar array.
    The only problem I've yet to work out is when the input falls below 1.1* the output and the device shuts down.
    This can happen during some thick cloudy conditions as I'm also charging 48v packs with mpt-7210s.
    There's an instructable from a guy why figured out how to use an Arduino to spoof button presses on the DPS5015, so maybe that's worth a try.

    I got the DPS 5020, awesome kit

    Part two?

    I want one of these big boys but I don't know how to power it easily being 750watt

    Hello, I want to use this as CC mode 5W LED driver, what frequency LED will have at very dim compared to very bright stetting. Can you or anyone else measure it with the scope.

    I am awaiting delivery of the DPS3012 version.
    This model has a max output of 32V at 12A. I am confused about the source needed to give the max output. Given the 1.1 ratio requirement, a 36v input would be ok but how many Amps do I require? Julian's 5A fuse didn't blow until the output was ~11A. Can anyone explain what is going on here and how I can calculate the requirement?

    What happens when it gets shorted out

    Pls reply

    Thanks Julian for the nice introduction and testing of the DPS5015. I have figured out how to control this and DP50V5A with an Arduino that has Bluetooth, for remote control or other applications. For those interested, see my YouTube channel, professorstevepotter.

    would consider using a computer psu and run 12v and output to 30v / 15A.

    Hello. Just going to pick everyone's brain here. What would be the best way to limit DC current. I have a 24volt source and I only want to let my load draw 10-15 amps. Without some way to limit it,It will run up to 22-25 amps. I don't need any boost or step down in voltage.Thank you in advance

    @Rd tech
    can u use these off one psu in series to get high voltage

    and the second part???
