Converter on Low AC Input Example
Converter specs say 105v minimum to work right. On 15a long extension cord from house, running 75 amp converter on low batteries, was getting 56 amps as constant amps instead of 75. Voltmeter said...

"The load on the converter doesn't matter much. It's the regulating circuit that needs minimum voltage and current to be happy"
It's not an analog circuit. It's a PWM MOSFET circuit that works less hard at low voltages that it does at full potential. BTDT
IR scanning proves this. Even the WFCO regulation does not suffer.
BUT BUT BUT
Low voltage due to bad connections, arcing, and flashing will kill any regulator from the most to the least expensive. This is why I add tons of MOVS and TVS devices upgrade capacitors to the next higher DC voltage level and upgrade them from 85c to 105c. I can only hope it is enough.
