Hi guys,
I'm hoping I could get some advice on my project.
I need to supply 12v DC over a pair of 15 meter 10AWG cable with a maximum load of 30A. The problem is, however, that at max. load there is the total voltage drop of 3v across the cables (1.5v in each direction) resulting in 9.5v at the terminal. I need to boost the voltage back to 12v.
Due to other limitations, I'm not allowed to start out with a higher voltage and I cannot use thicker cables.
How do you guys suggest I could tackle this problem? Is a boost converter the best solution? If so, could someone point me in the right direction and provide a starting point?
Thanks! Any help is much appreciated!
