SCC3 12 Volt 20 Amp Solar Charge Controller
The SCC3 Solar Charge Controller is designed to manage the charging of batteries from a solar panel system, specifically optimized for a 12 Volt configuration with a maximum output current of 20 Amps. This device is essential for preventing overcharging and ensuring the longevity of the battery bank in solar applications.
The charge controller operates by regulating the voltage and current coming from the solar panels to the batteries. It utilizes pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to efficiently manage the charging process. The controller features multiple stages of charging, including bulk, absorption, and float stages, which help to optimize battery performance and health.
The circuit board available from CirKits includes all necessary components such as MOSFETs for switching, capacitors for smoothing the output, and diodes for preventing reverse current flow. Additionally, the design incorporates LED indicators to provide real-time feedback on the charging status and battery condition.
Installation of the SCC3 requires connecting the solar panel input, battery output, and load terminals, ensuring that all connections are secure and correctly oriented to prevent damage. The controller is designed for easy integration into existing solar setups, making it an ideal choice for both amateur and professional solar energy systems.
Overall, the SCC3 Solar Charge Controller is a robust solution for effective solar energy management, providing reliability and efficiency for renewable energy applications.SCC3 12 Volt 20 Amp Solar Charge Controller.
