Orion IP67 24/12-20 DC-DC converter, Non-isolated, what does it mean when it says it is ignition protected, does this mean when its hooked up to my Vehicles starting system that it is not affected by the battery drain (voltage drop) when I'm starting my car?
I hope my ? makes sense
Cheers
Hello @Finn , "Igniton protected" by my understanding is that the device can operate in an explosive gas environment without causing the explosive gas to ignite.
An ignition protected alternator for instance can be operated in a petrol engine compartment without fear that the brush sparks will ignite any petrol fumes that may have developed in the engine compartment.
I thought this meant that you could use the ignition protect port to ensure the charger did not draw from the starter battery unless the ignition was on??
