When system voltage (12 or 24 volts respectively) is applied, the MOSFET array located between the Main battery cathode and Alternator input anode is enhanced for a period of 60 seconds. Included on every POWER-GATE Dual Rectifier is a violet Alternator excitation wire. POWER-GATE is recommended by top battery manufacturers to insure that DC power gets to where it’s needed without the excessive heat and voltage loss typified by more common, lesser performing silicon and Schottky devices. Dual rectifiers are epoxy encapsulated in a custom ABS enclosure and are well suited for hostile environments. Ultra-low on-resistance means devices require no heat sinking and no airflow at currents up to 300 amps. A dedicated excitation circuit insures hassle-free integration with internally regulated alternators. Dual rectifiers are commonly deployed in dual battery configurations where each battery may be discharged independent of the other.Ī common problem with conventional “marine” or “RV” style isolators (aside from performance issues related to the obvious voltage drop and associated heat) is dealing with an internally regulated alternator. DC current will flow from the alternator to the batteries, but current will not flow between the batteries when discharged.
