Example: their V24B12C200B converter module takes 18-36 volts in, 12
volts out (programmable from 10% to 11% of this, so you could get 13.2
out), efficiency 85%, 200 watts output. Current limit is 17 amps
minimum, 19.2 amps typical.

I suspect, since 'up to 8 amperes may be drawn', that
he'll have a hard time meeting the '17 amps minimum'
spec...

Sorry, I was unclear. What the phraseology means is "The converter's
maximum current output is limited to a value which might, in some
cases, be as low as 17 amperes, but is typically around 19.2 amperes."

I didn't mean to imply that you _must_ draw 17 amperes from the
converter in order for it to work. There doesn't appear to be a
significant lower limit - load reguulation is given as 0.2% typical
"no load to full load, nominal input" as long as you haven't trimmed
the converter to a lower output voltage.
