Re: Dc To Dc Converters
What are you running at 50 amps?
Will 32 to 24 volt work?
Would you consider a pair working in tandem? It's a real thing.
PM me if I can help.

Re: Dc To Dc Converters
The victron 48v converters are good down to 32v and dont shut down until 28v. I am in the process of installing one on my boat but have not yet run it to make sure, but others have & had no problems.

Re: Dc To Dc Converters
What does 48v to 32 v have to do with 32 to 12v? Did I miss something? Also, why change from Newmar? They seem to last almost forever. Ah, you mean 48v to 12v but work at 36 to 12.

Re: Dc To Dc Converters
Using 48v to 12v or 24v DC/DC converter on a 32v system. Scott (Boatsb) is a dealer for these. He called the engineers at Victron and was told these would work fine for this. He has used them several times for this application. In fact, I suggest you buy from him for warranty and installation advice. He'll set you up with the right unit. That's where I got mine.

Re: Dc To Dc Converters
Thanks Sky.
The isolated (as in stable voltage output) units have input windows that go from 32 to 70 volts for this use. I've set 2 in parallel and load balance to do larger than 15 amps 24 volt.
I've been a victron distributor for years now and offer lots of support for the units I sell to members.Scott

Re: Dc To Dc Converters
I agree Newmars are great units was just seeing if there was something else with similar quality available. Sky where can it get Scott’s contact info?

Re: Dc To Dc Converters
Yeah, those look pretty sweet. Only 20A (that can run at 32V) but you can put a couple of those in different spots. You can probably run them off the same main wire feeding the original Newmar/Instruments. They only pull ~ 8 amps, and if I recall, the wiring to the original Newmar is robust enough to power both.
