Inductors are not the important part, it's all about the MOSFETs

Moar power, isolation, and voltage regulators.

Use Schottky diode instead of cutting power

amelius Jan 1, 2024 View on HN

Why not step up the DC voltage instead of inverting to AC?

raverbashing Jan 7, 2015 View on HN

Won't a boost converter solve this? It's probably a more complicated version, but the idea is the same.

Wait! what? why? as part of the DC to DC conversion? how does it affect efficiency?

kn100 Oct 4, 2020 View on HN

I thought about this but diodes introduce voltage drop!

Which is your go-to voltage regulator?

zwieback Sep 8, 2015 View on HN

Would a voltage divider help the overvoltage problem?

Definitely sounds like a linear regulator is in use.
