Larson Electronics Waterproof Transformer Converts 120V-277V AC to 12/24 Volts DC - 16 Amps - General Application Plugs

The Larson Electronics DCP-16-GP-HD Waterproof Power Supply converts commonly used 120-240VAC electrical current to 12VDC @16 Amps. This converter includes an industrial grade male plug on the input end and female connector on the output end. This unit takes voltages within the 100-277VAC range and reduces it to 12 VDC or 24 VDC, allowing users to use standard AC power to operate equipment like our low voltage LED hand lamps that require low voltage DC current. The DCP-16-GP-HD 192 watt power converter provides a safe and effective way for users to tap into and utilize common 100 to 277 Volt AC power sources and convert this current to 12/24 Volts DC for use with equipment that requires low voltage electrical power. This unit can be operated with input current ranging from 100 to 277 VAC and will output 192 watt 12 Volt DC current at 16 amps or 24 Volt DC current at 8 amps. This power converter features an IP67 rated waterproof design, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor use and is wet-damp area approved. This converter includes integral short circuit, over voltage, over temperature and overload protection that will shut down the unit or reduce output in case of faults and overloads to protect the unit and connected equipment from damage. The small size and wide input voltage range of this unit make it ideal for indoor-outdoor operation of Larson Electronics LED light bars, handlamps and other equipment that requires 12/24 VDC current and anywhere 12/24 volt DC power is not readily available. This converter comes with a male plug on the input lead and a female connector on the output lead, allowing users to simply plug the unit into a typical wall outlet, then connect any of our 12/24 volt lights equipped with the same style plug. Plug options include standard 5-15 15 amp straight blade plug for 110V wall outlets with ground, NEMA L5-15 15 amp twist lock plug for 125V twist lock outlets, or NEMA L6-15 15 amp twist lock plug for 240V twist lock outlets. Alternatively, we can provide flying leads with no plug for hard wire applications or for operators who prefer to wire in user provided cord caps. Please choose pigtail option below for flying leads with no plug.

The unit converts this AC power input to 192 watt, 16 Amp 12VDC or 8 Amp 24VDC output. IP67 rated, this unit is waterproof, wet and damp area approved and suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. Integrally designed protection includes overload, short circuit, over temperature and over voltage safeguards to prevent overheating and unit damage in case of faults or overly heavy current draw. This unit will limit current when an over current condition is encountered and recovers when the condition is removed. This unit will enter hiccup mode under short circuit conditions and recover when the fault is removed. The unit will also shut down when an over temperature condition occurs and recovers automatically when the temperature returns to normal levels. This transformer is enclosed in a weather proof enclosure that is equipped with a handy strap for carrying and/or mounting. This power converter has a -30 / +60C operating temperature range and is UL UL1012 and UL60950-1 compliant as well as compliant with worldwide safety regulations for lighting. This unit has a 90% conversion efficiency and is suitable for use with moving LED signs and similar LED equipment. These units also feature Power Factor Correction, adjustable output current range from 8~ 16A either through the output cable or internal potential meter and have an input frequency range of 47 ~ 63Hz. NOTE: In order to obtain the best performance and the longest operational life from these units, it is recommended that you do not exceed 75% of the unit’s output amperage. To determine if this converter suits your desired application, add together the total wattage of the equipment you intend to use with this unit and divide this total by 12 volts to find the total amperage draw that will be placed upon the converter. For example, if you are using two of our LEGP10W-120E 120 watt LED lights, 120 watts divided by 12 volts is 10 amps. This would mean the DCP-16-GP-HD is well suited as it would run at under 75% capacity to produce the necessary 10 amps. Running these units at 100% of their capacity can create excess heat and lead to shortened converter life.
