Scott Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 What is the name of the component that does this? I've tried a few searches but they have came up empty for what I am looking for. I want to attach a solar pump to one of my bits of homebrew kit, the solar pump I want to use needs 24v, or 12v, DC so I need some sort of inverter/transformer to do this. I just need the component, rather than a case, as it will be mounted inside the kit it's being attached to. 240Vac in, 24Vdc out Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Oh, wait.... I think I've found it http://www.automation24.co.uk/power-supplies/power-supply-unit-phoenix-2868635-step-ps/-1ac/24dc/075-i28-514-0.htm?refID=adwords_shopping_UK&gclid=Cj0KEQjwxd6oBRCRoMrWmLOCvI4BEiQAYyZdkSYuxQKnMVpwsGsC4qGfAkNNQobsyf8WTlK2jT5t85IaAhv_8P8HAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You need a 24v converter or power supply. we get our 230v to 24vdc 10 amp power supply from farnell or sunpower (sunpower seema to be cheaper but farnell usually has more stock. The one you lined looks good I hope it has the amps you want/need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris88 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Transformer Rectifier to go from AC to DC. Inverter to go from DC to AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Look for 24V DC switch mode power supplies on Ebay. The Chinese ones work fine, but choose an output at least 25% higher than you need as they tend to be optimistically rated. I have some here and no issues. How many Amps does it draw? Example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-volt-DC-power-supply-enclosed-switch-mode-24V-1-8A-40W-/320858784603?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ab4ac835b or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-volt-DC-2-7-Amp-Power-Supply-Unit-240v-AC-input-For-CCTV-Access-Control-etc-/331515030801?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d2fd5ed11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I have the first one Chris has linked above. Only issue I have is if you draw higher Amps they tend to get very hot to the point its untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
