The 440 amp charge controller with divert relay can be used with our divert loads (divert load sold separately). Some diversion loads include, wirewound resistor style, dc water heating elements, our room heaters, or simple plug in grid feed inverters. It is meant for 24 or 48v battery banks.
- Connect multiple turbines and solar panels up to 440 amps worth at the same time! Max solar amperage in disconnect mode is 100 amps. Max solar amperage in divert mode is 440 amps. This is a huge hybrid wind and solar charge controller.
- Use for wind or solar or both at the same time! Also use for hydroelectric or solar or both.
User changeable settings -- Several controllers on the market set the dump level, and that's that!
Battery status LED - Several controllers do not tell you what's going on - This hybrid controller does! Push to test. Ever wonder if your controller and amp load are working OK? Battery level is checked, and based on that info, the Green LED flashes or is illuminated as follows:
One flash indicates the battery is less than 12 volts (12 volt system - Double for 24v system etc)
Two flashes indicates the battery is 12 to 12.5V
Three flashes indicates the battery is 12.6 to 13v
Four flashes indicate the battery is 13.1 to 13.5V
Five flashes indicates the battery is above 13.5V but less than 13.9V (Settings are adjustable)
Steady green means the battery is full.
The red LED is illuminated when the battery is being dumped at 14.5v (or the charge source diverted.)
Hybrid charge controller settings are user changeable!! By simply turning a simple potentiometer with a small screwdriver, you can quickly adjust the trip point. The enclosure is heavy gauge, solid steel - Ready to mount. -- No plastic, no junk, simple and rugged.
About load diversion. The basic operating philosophy of a diversion controller is quite simple. Monitor the battery voltage, and if it should rise to a predetermined level, connect a diversion load, of sufficient size, to the battery or energy source to prevent the battery voltage from increasing any further. This is a very simple, yet very effective way of preventing battery overcharging. All alternate energy systems should have some form of battery overcharge protection.
