Towable-OEM-40-60-80A.book Page 1 Monday, March 5, 2007 12:15 PM 1 Features Introduction The Xantrex AC to DC Converter (XADC) is a family of converter/chargers, consisting of 40A (XADC-40), 60A (XADC-60), and 80A (XADC-80) units. All XADC units will accept a broad range of 120 Vac input power and convert it into a 3-step DC charge algorithm designed for use with 12Vdc battery systems and/or to power DC loads. The XADC can operate from generator power and potentially poor quality campground power.
