| Searched the board and did not find anything. I was thinking that if you had a voltage sensing circuit at the battery that toggled to a load dump above a preset voltage, and toggled back off as soon as the voltage sense dropped below the preset level, it would work as an automatic pulse load dump? As soon as the load dump toggled on, the voltage sense at the battery would drop below the preset, turning off the load dump. Since the battery is already fully charged, the voltage sense would immediately rise back up and turn the load dump back on again. The cycle would repeat itself continuously. Am I missing something, or could it be this simple?
Also, would there be a problem hooking two different capacity generators (or solar and wind) in parallel to the same load dump circuit, assuming the dump circuit was built to withstand that capacity? You would have blocking diodes on the output of each generator anyways.
Just trying to get a fairly effective system together with minimal $, and not cook the batteries. |
