The energy supply systems of navigation
aids have to function reliably during long time without
any maintenance. When using alternative
energy sources - solar panels and wind generators -,
a challenge arises: to keep the batteries
as full as possible while not overcharge them.
Overcharging leads to boiling
out of the electrolyt and thus, to the damage of the batteries.
Therefore, EKTA has taken special efforts
to find out the most efficient methods of charging
the batteries and, as a result, the
battery charger E1401 has been developed
Features
- Charging of 12V NiCd and/or Pb batteries.
Charging current up to 16A
-
Using of solar panels (e.g. LA K51)
and/or wind generators (e.g. Windside) as energy sources
-
Automatic control of charging current,
depending on the environmental temperature and the charge rate of the battery
-
Protection of the batteries against
overcharging and overloads
-
Protection of the power supply
system against the lightning discharges and other noisesby dedicated input
filters (optional)
-
Hermetic design, the case filled
with the nitrogen gas
