What is the function of the DC converter in the Haval H6?
2 Answers
It can convert DC voltage into higher or lower DC voltage. The following is an introduction about the Haval H6: 1. Version types of the Haval H6: The Haval H6 is the flagship model under the Haval brand. On August 25, 2011, the Haval H6, positioned as an urban intelligent SUV, was grandly launched at the Great Wall Motors Tianjin new factory, offering Mitsubishi 2.0L gasoline-powered models and Green Power 2.0T diesel models, divided into three versions: Urban, Elite, and Premium. 2. Power of the Haval H6: The Haval H6 is equipped with the 'China Top Ten Engines' 1.5T direct-injection turbocharged engine, adopting the same CVVL continuous variable valve lift technology as BMW, leading in its class. The turbo engages at 1000 rpm, providing stronger power at low speeds, with a power output of up to 124 kW and a peak torque of 285 N·m, delivering more robust performance.
In the Haval H6, the DC converter primarily steps down the high-voltage system (such as 48V from the battery or alternator) to a stable 12V low-voltage current. This ensures the smooth operation of various small devices in the car—like the dashboard, window controllers, audio system, and even USB charging ports—preventing high voltage from damaging these precision components. Without it, these small devices would either burn out immediately or function intermittently. I once experienced this when modifying another car and overlooked a similar component—the navigation screen suddenly went black, causing chaos while driving. So, in the H6, while this part isn’t the star, it ensures the reliable operation of the overall electrical control system. It’s recommended to check its connectors for tightness during maintenance to prevent short circuits that could affect daily driving safety. Regular maintenance not only extends its lifespan but also avoids the inconvenience of unexpected failures.
