The DLS-55 is designed to run off of 120V AC. The standard U.S. AC outlet voltage is 120VAC rms +-10% The peak voltage is Vrms x sqrt 2 = Vrms x 1.414.
120Vrms = 170Vpeak 240Vrms = 340Vpeak Many devices that use AC wall power have a simple bridge rectifier or bridge doubler at the input. The bridge rectifier will peak detect the AC, creating a voltage that is 170DC with a lower valley due to ripple. DC voltage will pass through the bridge. Thus you need an ~170VDC source to equal the rectified 120VAC voltage. 202VDC would be too much and most likely blow something On Thursday, August 27, 2020, 1:10:00 PM CDT, David Delman via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: I am in the process of changing my 156v DC lead-acid eLectric DeLorean to lithium. I am using eight Tesla Battery Modules for a total of ~202v DC maximum. Previously I was using an Iota DLS-55 to keep my auxiliary battery charged. It worked great and fit well too. Is there a way to run the Iota off the new, higher pack voltage? Thank you, David Delman eLectricDeLorean.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
