Q1: How to maintain an isolated DC-DC converter?
When maintaining an isolated DC-DC converter, you should regularly check whether the input and output terminals are firmly connected, whether the heat sink or fan is operating normally, whether the outer shell is dusty and clean it in time to maintain a good ventilation environment. At the same time, pay attention to whether there is abnormal heating, noise or voltage fluctuation, and check whether there is overload or short circuit in the peripheral circuit. If a problem is found, it should be stopped immediately for investigation to avoid damage to internal components.
Q2: Where should isolated DC-DC converters be used?
Isolated DC-DC converters are suitable for scenarios where input and output electrical isolation is required, such as medical equipment to protect the safety of patients and operators, industrial automation systems to prevent mutual interference between the control end and the high-voltage end, power conversion in different potential areas in power grids or photovoltaic systems, system safety isolation in battery charging and discharging systems, and prevention of ground loops and common-mode interference in communication equipment. In these applications, isolation can not only provide voltage conversion functions but also improve system reliability and safety.
