[sci.electronics] Help finding high power DC/DC power supplies

listiak@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Jeffrey Listiak ) (03/26/91)

Hi.  I have various power supply needs for an electric vehicle.  I need 
DC/DC converters as follows:

-- 100-200 V in, 36 V out @ up to 5 A

-- 100-200 V in, 12 V out @ up to 10 A

-- 100-200 V in, 15 V out @ up to 1 A (in parallel with a buffer battery
   and the load, current limited supply to keep battery charged)

-- I already know where I can find 12 V to -12 V, and 12 V to 5 V, but
   any suggestions would be appreciated.


I am interested in units that are lightweight, extremely efficient, rugged,
small, and commercially available off the shelf.  Supplies with multiple
outputs are of particular interest (for instance +-15 V out, etc.).  Any and 
all suggestions would be greatly appreciated, but what I really need are the
names and phone numbers of applicable companies.

Please respond by mail to listiak@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

Thanks again,
