Hello everyone,
I am a student, and as a project we have to build an electric race car.
To power it, we are using a 48V battery.
We need to add a horn and the horn we have needs 12V DC and 1.5A so we need to convert the 48V delivered by our battery into the 12V needed for our horn. We are not allowed a secondary power source as everything must be powered by that battery.
We have been looking at different voltage regulators to either step the 48V down to 24V then the 24V to 12V or the 48V directly to 12V.
If you have any clues as to how we could achieve our goal, that would be greatly appreciated.
