Review on SING LTD Converter Regulator Non Isolated by Kenny Shaver

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good upconverter. Next to.

This is a good boost converter except it needs a soft start function. You can do this manually with a power resistor (30 ohms, 50 watts) to pre-charge the input capacitors. Otherwise you risk blowing up the device (I did). I came up with a simple circuit using a time delay relay and a resistor. Turn on the relay and the boost module (through the resistor) at the same time, and after 5 seconds the relay shorts the resistor. The ICM102B timer works well, is inexpensive and easy to wire with only 2 terminals.

Pros
  • 12-80 VDC continuously adjustable for applications where the input voltage is lower than the output voltage. It cannot be downgraded.
Cons
  • No
