Diversion (Dump) Loads

Some energy sources such as microhydro and wind must maintain a constant load on the turbine regardless of the battery state of charge. These systems make use of a diversion type controller and must find somewhere to “waste” the energy. Air heaters or water heaters are common ways to make use of a bit of extra power.

Air Heater Load - 30/60A @ 12v; 30A These resistive loads enclosed in vented aluminum boxes can be used in 12, 24 and 48 volt diversion regulation systems. The aluminum box may get very hot in operation. It should be mounted at least 12” from any flammable material. HL-100 is shipped as a 4-ohm resistor and can be reconfigured as a 1, 0.5 or 0.25 ohm resistor by easily changing connections in the terminal block. The HL-100 can be configured for 30 or 60 amps in the 12 volt mode. HL-75 is shipped as a 3-ohm resistor and can be ...

List Price:$329.00  Qty:    More Info Water Heater Element 25A@24V 50A@12V These low-voltage water-heating elements are for use as diversion loads for wind or hydroelectric systems. Use one or more of these heating elements with a charge control designed for load diversion, such as the Xantrex C40 or C60, to turn your excess power into hot water. They fit most standard electric water heaters with screw-in elements. We have one model for 12- and 24 volt systems and another for higher power 24- volt systems and 48 volt systems. The 12/24-volt element can be wired ...
