Input Voltage
Peak current capability (up to several milliseconds) 
The DC/DC converter can deliver a peak current, which is higher than the specified short term current. This helps to 
start current demanding loads or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers. 
The extra current is supplied by the output capacitors inside the DC/DC converter. During this event, the capacitors will 
be discharged and causes a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in chapter 24.1. 
Peak current voltage dips  typ.  from 24V to 18V  at 10A for 50ms, resistive load 
  typ.  from 24V to 15V  at 20A for 2ms, resistive load 
  typ.  from 24V to 11.5V  at 20A for 5ms, resistive load
