overview

The regulator is designed to sense and limit the output voltage of a D400 generator to 14.0 – 14.2 volts (12V models) or 28.0 – 28.4 volts (24V models) and thus prevent batteries becoming over charged. It includes a voltage monitoring / PWM circuit, a Power Mosfet, and two Schottky Blocking Diodes, which allows the D400 generator to charge two batteries totally independent of each other, therefore making it ideal for separate charging of engine starting and domestic batteries. The battery with the lowest terminal voltage will be charged first, then when both batteries become fully charged the D400 generator’s output is automatically diverted to the dump resistors. This does two things: it stops the batteries over-charging; and it keeps the generator always on load.
