Magnum ACLD-40: The Most Sophisticated Way to Add Three-Stage Charging to Your AC Coupled system.
The ACLD (AC Load Diversion Controller) monitors the battery voltage of a backup battery bank, and if the voltage rises to a predetermined level, the ACLD connects a AC powered diversion load (water heater element typical) of sufficient size, to absorb the excess energy to
prevent the battery voltage from increasing any further. The controller will continue to engage and disengage the load as often as necessary to prevent battery overcharge.
In simple terms, the AC Load Diversion controller is used to divert excess energy to an AC load in an effort to keep the battery bank that is connected to a back-up inverter from being overcharged. This is an excellent solution for an AC Coupled RE application.
The ACLD-40 works with MS-PAE Series, MS-PE Series, MMP Panel System, and MP Panel System.
Features
- Controls up to 4000 watts of excess power to prevent battery over-charge.
- Works with 12, 24, or 48 volt systems.
- Allows the use of common, resistive AC household loads instead of hard-to-find DC loads to divert excessive current.
- Easy access Inverter and Network ports.
- Standard RS485 MagNet protocol to communicate with Magnum inverters and remotes.
- Can utilize power generated from wind, solar, or hydro systems.
- Provides PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) voltage when powering diversion load to run load without flicker.
