The unit is very safe if mounted properly. The unit must be mounted a safe distance from flammable objects. Please do not use this unit on 24 volt systems as it will be damaged quickly, and may result in fire, injury or worse! Please see our other listings for 24 and 48 volt diversion centers.Ĭaution - Very Hot heater! - In testing the resistors in the unit produced 800 degrees (F) - This is hot enough to flash (start a fire) with paper, plastics and other such flammable objects.
#7.5 watts 2.0 ohm generator
This Diversion Load center is a perfect companion to a 300-550 watt 12 volt wind generator and our C160M controller. Five resistors in parallel will dissipate 562.5 watts at 15 volts - 37.5 amps at 15 volts. Each 2.0 ohm resistor will dissipate 7.5 amps at 15 volts. This Diversion Center consists of 5 – 2.0 ohm resistors. The entire unit is enclosed in a Hoffman 8 x 12 x 4 enclosure with a slotted cover.Īrea in green is where most diversion controllers would be set to divert. Two terminals with aluminum nuts are provided for a solid connection to your wiring. Both sheets are mounted to a solid piece of ceramic board. These two sheets form the electrical connection for the six resistors. 063 aluminum sheets (A left and right sheet). The diversion load center consists of five resistors mounted directly onto two sheets of CNC cut. These resistors will become hot during normal use, please mount them away from heat sensitive objects and out of the reach of children. When used as recommended, they will not burn out, even under continuous use.
#7.5 watts 2.0 ohm free
It will operate in free air.Įach of the resistors we sell has been selected based on it’s ability to dissipate a very specific amount of power (watts) with a very specific resistance value (ohms), at a very specific voltage. Unlike water heating elements, this unit does not need to be submerged in water or oil. These resistors have been custom made (here in Coleman Texas) specifically to perform as diversion (dummy) loads in solar/wind/hydro alternate energy systems. This Diversion Center Can be mounted on to a wall to provide heating as well as serve as a diversion (dummy) load. Now with custom made Kanthal-A1 wire wound, high heat elements. 37.5 Amp, 550 Watt, 12 Volt Diversion Load Centerĭesigned for use with Diversion Controllers
