I am powering 3 devices in an outdoor camera enclosure and I would like to be able to switch between 12vdc or 24vac power without a problem- I am not a EE and am not sure that I am using the best/proper electronic components.
Devices I am powering:
24vac 20watt heater
5vdc 2.5 amp router
12-48 vdc or ac .5 amp camera.
Here are the components I am presently imputing my power through for the camera and router: (in this seqence)
1. 1000L80 MOV Varistor for lightening protection,(is this ok?-1000 V RMS, 220 Joules, 4500 Watts Peak Current.)
2. a 4 amp 600volt bridge rectifier to convert ac power to dc and
3. a 330MFD/50V Radial Condensor.
For the 5vdc 2.5 amp router I add a PTK15-Q24-S5 dc/dc converter behind the condensor which accepts 9Vdc to 36Vdc input and converts to 5vdc.
The camera is added right after the Radial Condensor.
One challenge I need help on is powering the 24vac heater when using 12vdc.
Thanks for your help.
