For use with either the Xantrex or Morningstar charge controllers, these dump loads are effectively very high power air heating elements. The C40 and C60 charge controllers are used in ’Load Diversion’ mode, and as such, they dissipate any unwanted power into these dump loads when your battery bank becomes fully charged. It is vital to use a charge controller to prevent damage to your batteries, especially if you leave your system unattended for long periods of time, and without loading your batteries with an inverter, or other suitable device.

• Resistance: 0.5 - 0.4 Ohms depending on temperature
• Nominal power disipation approx 1440 Watts
• Voltage range 12-48V
• Carton dims: 31x15.5x28.5

These dump loads should be mounted as close as possible to your the charge controller. They should be mounted in free circulating air, and not in an enclosed space. The power connection blocks are made of solid brass, and all cabling used should be securely connected using the bolts provided. Please ensure that you choose the correct number of dump loads for the battery bank voltage you are charging.
