KEMP, Texas, June 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a leading manufacturer of industrial lighting and power distribution, announced the release of a waterproof DC to DC stepdown transformer that converts 24V electrical current to 16V DC at 10 amps. This power converter is ideal for indoor and outdoor usage, as well as wet and damp environments.

The Larson Electronics DCP-24x16-10A-WP Waterproof DC to DC Step-down Transformer converts 24V DC electrical current to 16V DC at 10 amps max. This converter includes flying leads to hard wire this unit inline. This unit takes 24 volts DC and reduces it to 16 volts DC, allowing users to use 24 volt DC power to operate equipment like our LED light bars and Golights that require low voltage 16 volts DC current.

The DCP-24x16-10A-WP from Larson Electronics is a 160-watt waterproof power converter rated at 10 amps that allows operators to utilize 24V DC power for 16V DC low voltage applications. This transformer can power lights and equipment up to 120 watts and features integral short circuit, over voltage and over load protection, which shuts the unit down or reduces voltage output in the case of overload or equipment fault.

This power converter is IP68 waterproof and equipped with two 6-inch wires on the input side and two on the output side, which have been stripped and tinned for equip installation. To reduce chances of over-heating case aluminum housing is used to help distribute heat properly, and all electrical components are located within the housing to protect them from harsh external elements. The DCP-24x16-10A-WP features an impressive 95% conversion efficiency, great for moving LED signs and similar equipment, and has a fixed switching frequency of 43KHz.

“The most important feature of this step-down transformer is that it allows users to optimize 24V DC power sources for 16-volt equipment,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “That means this converter can be used to power our LED light bars, Golights and other low voltage equipment, in areas where 24V DC is readily available, but lower voltage is required.”
