Product Description
600 Watt Dump Load (2 Resistor Bank)
600 Watt Divert Load Resistor Bank
This divert load resistor is for use to divert the excess power being generated when your wind turbine generator batteries are full and can be ran at 100% duty cycle due to the quality rib wound design. It can also be used with a solar array in diversion mode.
The unit can be used alone to provide free heat as well by hooking your solar panels directly to it. For an alternative dump load see our dc water heating elements.
Dimensions:
- (approx.) 11.5 x 4 x 3 1/4 inches (29.21 x 10.16 x 8.25 cm)
12 Volt Specifications | 24 Volt Specifications | 48 Volt Specifications | |

Amperage | 50 Amps | 25 Amps | 12.5 Amps |
Wattage | 600 Watts | 600 Watts | 600 Watts |
You need to divert the excess power being generated to a load so your wind turbine generators will NOT go into high speed freewheeling in heavy winds.
Note: These resistors can get very hot
What is a Dump Load?
Watch our video below to understand why a dump load is necessary, especially for a wind turbine.
