installing 12 volt electronics on a 24 volt vehicle

Post by Frisch »

Does anybody have any experience with voltage converters?
I'd like to install a WVO kit on my 24 volt truck (canter) and I'm thinking of using a converter to set up something of a 12 volt "station" of to run all the 12 volt electronics.

What's the best converter to use or Is there a better way?

If you don't find the info here you should go check:

They have a diesel section where 24V converter has been well covered.

Good luck!

I can put a kit together with 24v valves and relays if need be, might just be easier to convert a source to 12v as most of the easily available heaters and what not are 12v.
