MODE OF OPERATION
The X-SPLIT is a very low loss electronic charge splitting control unit. Versions available cater for a single input with either 2 , 3, or 4 electrically isolated outputs or with 2 inputs with 2 outputs where either input can feed both outputs simultaneously. The 2 in 2 out version is especially useful for twin alternator based systems. The charging source can be derived from any of the common sources, alternators, wind chargers, towed generators, solar cells etc., each charging source must have its own voltage control circuitry. The level of charge fed to each battery connected is determined by the charge state of each battery and the level of charge available from the charging source. N:B. The X-SPLIT does not control the amount of charge to each battery bank). Where the system configuration cannot be met by a single unit, the X-SPLIT can be connected in parallel and / or series without problems. Even when the units are connected in series the resultant loss is still considerably lower than that exhibited by other forms of diode splitters including those fitted with SCHOTTKY diodes.
Note:-
It is very important to rate the X-SPLIT
either equal to or greater than the charging source which has the highest
output capability.
Unit can be left connected to wind chargers
and or solar cells and permanently connected to batteries without the fear
of over charging provided the correct voltage dump is fitted to the wind
generator and solar cell array.
If after fitting the X-SPLIT
you still have problems recharging your batteries from an alternator the
addition of one our range of X-ALT alternator boost
charge controllers may help to overcome the problem.
