You can just use 2-3 of those rectifier diodes I sent a link to. Just make sure whichever type of diode you use, that you bolt it to a chunk of aluminum or something to suck out some heat. You just put them in series. Does not matter if it is positive or negative. They will act as a smart resistor.
They will just drop X amount of volts irrespective of how much voltage you put in to the system.

Where do I solder in the 3v 7A Zener? Is it just in line with the positive or negative line? Or do I need to create a circuit with several of them in series and a resistor big enough to shed load between 48v and 56v when rush charging?

So really what I would do is get the DDR-240C-48 at 5A output, from a 48v battery string. Then if I needed more than 5A I just wire another unit in parallel per their diagram and have enough for 5-9A. Or if I just want/need two 12v batteries I can wire those in series for 24v and do UPS on that, and get one DDR-240B-48 instead. Basically what Jesse said, lol!

One thought is that most isolated output DC-DC converters can have their output put in series, you could put two 24V 10A supplies in series.

It's only 5A, though, could run a pair of them and split the load. https://www.trcelectronics.com/View/Mean-Well/DDR-240C-48.shtml On 7/11/2019 2:59 PM, Sterling Jacobson wrote: Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I’m still stuck on this mini-pop DC plant thing. Is there a DIN mountable voltage regulator that will allow me to feed load from 48v battery string without going over 50v at 6-10A? I’m still trying to power a couple of MetroLinq 2.5 antennas at the site, but people tell me they explode if given more than say 52v. Which means my float battery system will kill the radios if it goes into recharge mode at 54v? Or am I overthinking things? Looks like to solve this I would need something like Mean Well $100 SD-350B-48 between the battery array and the load to assure it sticks around 50v. Is that my only solution here? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
