For use in Battery-Based systems, these rugged charge controllers offer
protection against overcharging when used with our solar panels or wind
turbines. The Tristar is capable of handling charging currents of 60A,
and is suitable for use with battery banks of 12/24 and 48Volts.
In order to use these controllers with your
Turbine and Battery Bank, you will require a suitable dump load for
connection to the TS-60. These dump loads are shown below, and can be
bought separately if required.
We can also supply 48v Standard 2.25" BSP Direct Replacement 1KW Immersion
Heaters for £64.99 for use with our turbines.
If you are purchasing a Miniwind 2200 Turbine, we recommend that you have 2
TS-60s in Parallel if your turbine is wired for 24v and likely to be subject
to high winds. One TS-60 is recommended for the 48v version unless it would
be subject to extreme weather. If in doubt - double up..... The Miniwinds
can produce in excess of 100 amps at 24v.
The following number of dump loads are required with each of the following
battery voltages.
For 12V systems use 2 Dump Loads (in parallel)
For 24V systems use 1 Dump Load
For 48V systems use 2 Dump Loads (in series)
Optional Extras
Tristar Meter TS-M and TS-M Remote
Key Features and Benefits
The meter will display a great deal of information about the
TriStar controller and the operation of your system. In
addition, the meter enables manual functions and controller
diagnostics. These capabilities will increase your confidence
that the system is working properly and will help you to improve
system reliability, battery life, and system performance. It is
worth the time getting to know your meter!
The TS-M Remote is a self contained meter with 30m of cable to
allow you to monitor the Controller at a distance (you
can have both!)
Xantrex C40 & C60 Charge Controllers
For use in Battery-Based systems, these rugged charge controllers offer
protection against overcharging when used with our wind turbines. The
Xantrex C60 is capable of handling charging currents of 60A, and is suitable
for use with battery banks of 12V and 24V only. The C40 can handle
charging currents of up to 40A, and is suitable for use in 48V battery
charging applications which use our turbines.
In order to use either of these controllers with your Turbine and Battery
Bank, you will require a suitable dump load for connection to the C40 or
C60. These dump loads are shown under Dump Loads, and can be bought separately if
required.
The following number of dump loads are required with each of the following
battery voltages.
For 12V systems use only the C60 and 2 Dump Loads (in parallel)
For 24V systems use only the C60 and 1 Dump Load
For 48V systems use only a C40 and 2 Dump Loads (in series)
