PERATING PRINCIPLE
• The RCE isolator is an electronic distributor designed with MOSFET technology limiting voltage drops, to distribute the
charging current to several batteries, or battery banks, with the same nominal voltage.
• The RCE
isolator prevents current from flowing from one battery to another. It thefore allows the isolation of the
battery banks.
• The RCE isolator charges the batteries with regulated DC energy sources and isolates your electrical circuits, it acts as
if there were two or three separated outputs.
•There is no priority output, it is the current used by the
more energy-intensive device that will generate the priority.
• Any unused output should be left disconnected.
•
The RCE isolator is not a voltage regulator, it must always be placed downstream of a regulated source:
-
Battery charger
-
Wind turbine regulator
-
Alternator
-
MPPT
-
Etc.

VERVIEW PRESENTATION
RCE isolators can be divided in 3 groups depending on :
•
The number of Inputs and Outputs
•
The maximum Current
•
The presence of IG terminal (Ignition terminal)
