This drawing illustrates a typical installation where the normal engine electrics is 24 volts; some of the services are 24 volts and the remainder are 12 volts. The output of the alternator is split charged using a X-SPLIT or X-PORT, 1 output is used to charge the engine start battery, the second output is used for auxiliary equipment rated for 24 volts and output 3 is used to feed a X-TRACT which converts the 24 volts to 12 volts for charging and supplying auxiliary equipment such as lighting, fridges etc. This application is particular useful for horse boxes that have living accommodation on board where all the domestic equipment is rated for 12 volts. The application shows a 3 output split charge controller but the same circuit is applicable for 2 output systems where there is no 24 volt auxiliary equipment. By using a X-SPLIT or X-PORT plus the X-TRACT the engine battery cannot be discharged by using the auxiliary services which always means the engine can be started by using a fully charged battery.
