A good solution is to use a DC/DC converter to convert the 24 volts to 12 volts. An automobile cigarette lighter socket, which is available at Radio Shack, makes a convenient 12 volt power point to wire the DC converter output to.Nov 24, 2019
How do you reduce 24v to 12v DC?
We often get asked "How do you reduce 24Vdc to 12Vdc" and the answer is pretty easy - you use a DC to DC converter which has a 24Vdc (nominal) input with a regulated 12Vdc output. If you have a requirement for converting any DC voltage to any other DC voltage then please do get in touch!Jan 27, 2016
How do you get 12 volts off a 24 volt system?
When using a 24v on 12v appliances, you will need to use a DC-DC converter. This converter helps to drop the voltage from 24v to 12v. A DC to DC converter is an electronic device used to regulate voltage from a source.
Will 24v power supply work on 12v?
12-volt lights are compatible with 24-volt systems – they use electricity and can be wired into the system. Light bulbs and light strips are designed to operate at slightly lower and slightly higher voltages. ... The problem with adding them to a 24-volt system is the excess voltage.Jun 4, 2018
How do you reduce voltage from 24V to 12V?
You can waste 12 volts as heat with a series pass regulator or efficiently drop 24v to 12 V with a “buck” switching regulator. The easiest is to buy a step down converter. If you don't have a soldering iron buy one that has terminals with screws. If the current is very small use a potential divider.
