Hi SamoaPower,
Your past post indicates you will be doing 24 volt battery charging rather than just making heat.
Yes, I will be charging a 24 volt battery bank, and would like to use any excess power after the batterys a full for some hot water per heat.
I have been in the process of building commandas, dump load controler for just this purpose.
The problem with testing into actual batteries is that the batteries state-of-charge (and other things) will determine the current into them and the terminal voltage. What you don't want while testing is to have another variable or two to worry about.
Thats what Iam thinking also, Thats why I was looking into some other possibilities for loading, instead of just using batterys for the load.
Hmmm- How that I think of it, couldn't I just use commandas load controler and a battery bank for the load. would this not be a good way to test the alt, for the current output of the Alt ?
