Re: 12 volt to 24 volt
A boost converter inside the Power Distribution Panel trades a decrease in current for an increase in voltage, preserving total energy according to W=VA.
It manages this trade by switching between an on-state where it stores up energy in a magnetic field, and an off-state when it releases this stored energy at a higher voltage/lower current.
