Question

I selected a DC-DC converter capable of delivering 120 VDC from a 600 VDC input. When I reached out to the manufacturer, they asked for the total power consumption the converter would need to handle.
To estimate this, I calculated the power requirements for the components that will use the 120 VDC supply: interior lighting, end lights, and buzzers. The breakdown is as follows:
- Light Bulbs: 16 bulbs at 10 W each = 160 W
- Buzzers: 2 buzzers at 5 W each = 10 W
- End Lights: 2 lights at 15 W each = 30 W

This results in a total estimated power demand of 200 W.
My concern is whether I should request a higher wattage rating for the converter to provide sufficient tolerance and ensure the system operates efficiently without risking an overload.

Note: The DC power system is designed specifically for a trolley
