3.7.13.2 Connect the output from the converter limiter across a resistor (capable of dissipat
-
ing 30 watts) in the 5 to 7 ohm range. Measure the voltage across the output, and
calculate the power as follows:
P = V
2
R
P = Power (watts)
V = Measured voltage across resistor (VDC)
R = Resistor value (ohms)
As long as the limiter converter is producing 21 watts (or 70% of rated power) then it is func
-
tioning properly.

Converter Limiter Analysis (24 VOLT):
After V
oc
is at the correct voltage, connect the
TEG(-) lead to the terminal post and measure the power on the output of the limiter converter
as follows:
3.7.14.1 Measure the output voltage between terminals 1 & 2 and ensure that it is in the 24
to 30 volt range. Adjust the voltage as described in the converter limiter manual until
the output voltage is about 27 volts. If this can be achieved, then the converter limiter
is probably fine. To actually measure the power produced proceed as follows.
3.7.14.2 Connect the output from the converter limiter across a resistor (capable of dissipating
30 watts) in the 20 to 24 ohm range. Measure the voltage across the output, and
calculate the power as follows:
P = V
2
R
P = Power (watts)
V = Measured voltage across resistor (VDC)
R = Resistor value (ohms)
As long as the limiter converter is producing 21 watts (or 70% of rated power) then the limiter
converter is working.
