SINGLE PHASE HI 10/12kW | User Manual65
Dump Load or Diversion Load is an important part of an o-grid power system. When the battery ( Battery
Bank ) is fully charged, and the water turbine / wind turbine / solar PV module is still generating, a dump load
is a useful device to send spare electricity to. This can be done by using a switch on a smart load option or by
utilising a wind turbine controller with a built-in dump load. Also, a hot water tank controlled via a smart-load
can act as a good ‘dump-load’ however, in very windy conditions it may be necessary to shunt the output.
Most wind turbines are three-phase PM type. Therefore, either a wind turbine controller or a direct connec-
tion to the MPPT via a simple protection circuit will be required.
Advanced Settings for Auxiliary Load
To congure Auxiliary Load (previously known as “smart load”) settings, click on the AUX LOAD icon.
What this page displays:
Use of the Gen (Aux) input or output.
Generator peak shaving is ON or OFF.
Peak Power Shaving value.
What you can do from this page:
Set up a generator input.
Set up an auxiliary (smart) load.
Switch on the generator and/or grid peak
power saving and set the power shaving
value.
Use an additional inverter or micro inverter.
A nice feature of this page is that when the batteries are full and the inverter is still producing power from
the solar PV or turbine, it is possible to direct the power generated to another load such as a water heater.
