Because we are still in the era of trying to move from 3V/5V to 12V!
Power Supply Manufacturers and Board Manufactures can't still agree on this little step. 24V/48V is a bridge too far!
Same issue has been plaguing the automobile industry, they can't wait to move from 12V to 48V for their low voltage works, but who will bell the cat?
- vhab 4y agoInterestingly though, there's a slow but steady push towards 24V on boats. More electronics are available in 24V version or simply support both 12V and 24V. And new boats tend to have a 12V and 24V bank. Electric sailboats usually have a 48V bank as well. And in an entirely different area, 3D printing completed their transition from 12V to 24V some years ago, and currently there's an active push towards 48V. I'm personally just looking forward to not spend a fortune on cables due to low voltages. It's frustratingly expensive to carry 12V a decent distance with some higher current draws.
- jandrese 4y ago> they can't wait to move from 12V to 48V for their low voltage works That would be a surprising move to be sure. I assume you mean low wattage?
- ryzvonusef 4y agoSorry, Yes.
- AdrianB1 4y agoIn electric vehicles is also low voltage. In ICE, it is all (mains) voltage and wattage, including the battery.
- bsder 4y agoActually, I thought the issue with automotive is that 48V really isn't enough. My understanding is that actuators want to be operating at much higher voltages and that 100V-ish is the lowest they really want and that modern actuators would much prefer to be up at 200-400V.
