Hello,
I've bought myself a 12V, 250W immersion heater with the intention that all
the power from my nominal 12V 8ft Hugh Piggot wind generator is used to heat water
in a hot water cylinder.
I was originally thinking that the output from the wind turbine would go directly to
a 12V car battery (as a buffer), and that the immersion heater would be directly
connected to the battery.
But the blurb that comes with the immersion heater says that input voltage must not exceed
13.5V. So that arrangement isn't going to work, is it, if the output from the wind turbine
goes up to 50V in a gale.
So I've been looking for a 12V, 20A voltage regulator ... but I can't find one anywhere.
Can anyone point me to where I should look. I've googled all over, but found
nothing suitable at any price.
Many thanks for any links...
