1. 2 24 48V selector switch adapts the wind battery charger unit to various battery voltages The wind charge controller has a battery overcharge protection function using the so called dump load technique The excess energy of the generator is transferred to a resistive dump load e g heating element which keeps the generator under loaded condition This prevents the rotor from overspinning and saves it fro any resulting damages 12 24 48 V selector switch The unit can be used for charging 12V 24V and 48V battery banks Please switch the selector to the appropriate position prior to connecting the charge controller to any system component The selector switch is located beneath the cover on the PCB Battery overcharge protection and dump load When the battery has reached a fully charged state the excess current from the generator is transferred to a dump load heat element via solid state MOSFETs The filament of DL 24 dump load is made of NiCr material which prevents the humming noise during operation which is a typical characteristic of ferrite based heating elements LCD indication The actual battery voltage and the actual battery charging current is shown on the two LCD displays Protections A blocking diode protects the batteries from alternating DC currents which has a lifetime decreasing effect on the batteries A capacitor permits the disconnection of the battery terminals in all circumstances Connection and operating elem2.
