Voltage converter repair SMP184-03 Dometic
What is an SMP184-03 converter?
The SMP184-03 voltage converter developed by Dometic is an electronic device designed to transform 230V alternating voltage (mains) into 12V direct current. It safely supplies on-board equipment in motorhomes, such as lighting, refrigerators, water pumps and USB sockets. This model is one of the most popular references in recreational vehicles, and replaces several older versions such as CON2135xxx or SMP184-01.
The SMP184-03 converter is capable of delivering 400W of power, i.e. around 31.5A at 12V. It features automatic power source management: when a mains connection is detected, it automatically switches from battery mode to 230V. It also features a controlled ventilation system and electronic protection against overload, short-circuit and overheating.
What are the most common faults encountered on an SMP184-03 converter?
The most common fault encountered by our services is the lack of 12V output. The absence of a 12V output on the SMP184-03 converter prevents the operation of all 12V-powered on-board equipment, such as lighting, water pump or refrigerator. It can also lead to abnormal discharge of the cell battery, or even cascade failure of other vehicle electrical systems.
