5A Step-Down Inverter – 1.3V-30V

The STEP-DOWN DC/DC XL4015E inverter with voltmeter and ammeter is an inverter that reduces voltage from 5V-30V to 0.8V-30V. The module is equipped with a dual, clear, 4-digit LED display that shows the current output voltage and current.

The module consists of the popular Xl4015 inverter with a peak capacity of 5A and an input voltage of up to 30V. Output voltage and current freely adjustable with multi-turn potentiometers.

The inverter can be used, for example, in systems:

• LED lighting (current driver)
• STEP-DOWN inverter
• Workshop power supply
• Battery charger (packs): Li-Ion, Li-Pol – (has red charging status LEDs)

Such a solution will allow to build, for example, a workshop (laboratory) power supply, which is an indispensable tool in every workshop. Thanks to its small size, this inverter is trivial to transport and can be taken with you virtually anywhere.

Product features

• The potentiometer has a wide scale of approx. 50 turns.
• ARK2 screw terminals on the output and input allow simple and secure attachment of cables.
• This converter has the function of charging lithium batteries: Li-Ion, Li-Pol.
• The popular XL4015 inverter that reduces the input voltage to a given output voltage.
• The converter has the ability to set the voltage and maximum amperage through multi-turn potentiometers.
• Thanks to the module displaying the current parameters on the output, it is easy to set the voltage and the given operating current.
