Hey guys and gals,
I am trying to build a fairly simple project.
here is what Im trying to do. I have a few automotive devices which are rated to run between 8-20vdc. example (cooling fan/pumps). Charging circuit from alternator fluctuates too much. 12-5 to 14.4 ..Anyone know how i could build a circuit to regulate a steady 16.5-18v output??I was thinking dc/dc convertor w/ regulator maybe? It would be really neat if i could use a pot of some sort to vary the voltage to my liking on demand. Im needing a steadier supply and wish to step up the voltage over what my alternator produces..problem is the devices i try to run pull a relatively large amount of amperage..20- 30 amps
thanks in advance.
