POWER-GATE ISOLATORS / COMBINERS

 

 

 

Single Rectifier / Combiner

Dual Battery Configuration

POWER-GATE isolates the MAIN battery from the AUXILIARY battery, with the ability to disable the isolation feature with a remote switch, thus combining the batteries (or loads) if needed.

The Rectifier/Combiner includes the ability to remotely combine the batteries (or loads) as needed. Generally speaking, it is prudent to isolate the MAIN battery thus insuring a fully charged battery is available for starting. However, in a critical situation, one may find it necessary to join both batteries together (example- lengthy winch pull exhausts AUXILLARY battery, or self jump-starting). The Isolator/Combiner is fitted with a Molex wire harness, eight feet in length, and includes a toggle switch. When switched to +8 to 24VDC:

  • Isolation feature is de-activated providing load current from both batteries
  • Output to control an external contactor/solenoid/switch
  • Optional 90 dB alarm chirps an audible warning every 2 seconds reminding the user that the isolation feature is deactivated
  • Red "alert" LED illuminates reminding the user that the isolation feature is deactivated

A POWER-GATE feature you'll not find on any other battery isolation device is an optional current limitation circuit. In the event that current passing through the POWER-GATE exceeds the device's rating, the current limitation feature kicks in and limits current. This prevents the alternator from exceeding its rating, prevents over-current battery damage, and safeguards the POWER-GATE from over-current abuse.

Single Rectifier/Combiners are rated at the following continuous current ratings: SR- 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, and 600amps. We will soon offer isolation capacity up to 1,200 amps.

 

 

 

   

Dual Rectifier / Combiner

Dual Battery Configuration

POWER-GATE Isolates "BATTERY A" from "BATTERY B", and "BATTERY B" from "BATTERY A", with the ability to disable the isolation feature, thus combining the batteries (or loads) if needed.

 

 In a dual leg, dual battery (or load) configuration, the alternator (or

source) will charge the battery (or load) that draws the greatest current. When both loads are equal, they will both be charged at an equal rate. Either load can be discharged independently and current cannot pass between batteries should an internal battery failure or load short occur.

The Isolator/Combiner includes the ability to remotely combine the batteries (or loads) as needed. Generally speaking, it is prudent to isolate thus insuring a fully charged battery is available for starting. However, on occasion, one may find it desirable to join both batteries together (example- lengthy winch pull or self jump-starting). Isolator/Combiner is fitted with a Molex wire harness, eight feet in length, and includes a toggle switch. When switched to +12-24vDC:

  • Isolation feature is de-activated allowing current to flow between "BATTERY A and "BATTERY B"
  • Output to control an external contactor/solenoid/switch
  • Optional 90 dB alarm chirps an audible warning every 10 seconds reminding the user that the isolation feature is deactivated
  • Red "alert" LED illuminates reminding the user that the isolation feature is deactivated
