At 830 cm³, it is almost 60% smaller than comparable converters, making it one of the smallest 500 W DC-DC converters on the market that complies with EN 50155. This compact design offers engineers greater flexibility when integrating power solutions into rolling stock systems where space is at a premium. The converter is also optimized for series production, with a reduced number of surface-mount (THT) components and a simplified assembly process.
This design approach helps reduce production costs while maintaining consistent quality and reliability. The RCM500E features low, short-duration inrush currents, helping to prevent unintentional tripping of circuit breakers in the event of power interruptions. Its low standby power consumption minimizes unnecessary battery drain, promoting better energy management in railway systems. Built for demanding environments, the converter is designed to withstand heavy industrial loads and harsh operating conditions. It includes constant current limiting and full protection with automatic recovery, ensuring reliable operation even under fault conditions. The product is available in two models with either 72V or 110V input and 24V output, providing flexibility for common railway power architectures.
