Alfatronix PowerVerter PV6i (6A)
Premium Isolated 24V to 12V DC-DC Converter
The Alfatronix PV6i PowerVerter is a high-performance 6 Amp isolated voltage converter designed to provide a stable 12Vdc output from 24Vdc electrical systems. Unlike standard converters, the "i" series features full galvanic isolation between the input and output, making it the industry standard for marine vessels and commercial vehicles where electrical noise or ground loops could interfere with sensitive communication and navigation equipment.
Key Features
- ✔ Galvanic Isolation: Prevents ground loops.
- ✔ Click 'n' Fit Mounting: Quick, 3-point installation.
- ✔ Low Power Consumption: Off-load current <15mA.
- ✔ Status Indicator: LED for instant output confirmation.
- ✔ UK Manufactured: Built to rigorous EU standards.

Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
Yes, this is an authentic Alfatronix product, manufactured in the UK and supplied with their industry-leading reputation for reliability.
Why should I choose an "Isolated" version (PV6i) over the "Non-Isolated" (PV6s)?
Isolated converters prevent ground loop interference. They are essential for marine comms, radio equipment, and certain emergency vehicle applications where electrical isolation between the 24V source and 12V output is required for safety or signal clarity.
What happens if I exceed 6 Amps?
The unit can handle up to 10 Amps intermittently (for up to 2 minutes). For continuous loads exceeding 6 Amps, the internal thermal protection will safeguard the unit, but we recommend upgrading to a PV12i or PV18i for higher sustained power requirements.
