ISOpwr – Auxiliary Battery Isolator

 

ISOpwr Image

ISOpwr is a high powered solid-state switch. The switch turns on whenever the car's alternator is running and turns off when it is not running. The switching point is 13.5 volts. The switch safely handles 40 amperes and is protected with a 40 ampere ATC blade fuse.

It is packaged in a small heatsink which will get warm whenever the current supplied reaches near 40 amperes for a considerable length of time. Dimensions are 4" x 5" x 1.5"

 

     

PWRguard – Protects Equipment from over/under voltage

PWRguard Image

PWRguard protects the radio, the power supply and the battery from damage. It is ideal for use with a PWRgate and a radio. If your power supply loses regulation and the output voltage goes too high, the PWRguard turns OFF, thereby protecting the radio and the power supply. If the voltage drops down below 15 volts again, the PWRguard automatically turns back ON.

PWRguard protects a battery from over discharge by sensing the average voltage under load. Latches off for low battery, and resets automatically if the battery is re-charged. Ideal for a battery operated ham station.

 

     

Super PWRgate PG40S – Automatic switching & Charging for Battery/AC

A Super PWRgate is a 12 volt backup power system that can supply up to 40 amperes continuously from either a Power Supply or a Battery, and can also charge the battery with its high performance charger.

Connected equipment will instantly switch to battery during a power blackout or power supply failure. No glitches.

The circuit isolates the battery and power supply from each other. Voltage drop is less than 0.3 volts at 20 A.

To keep the battery fully charged and ready for use, the Super PWRgate has a built-in four-stage battery charger with selectable current rates of 1, 4, 7 or 10 amperes.

The circuit is optimized for use with GELLED & AGM type batteries, but will keep flooded lead acid and marine type batteries near full charge as well.

The Super PWRgate and the power supply may also be used to charge a battery that is powering the radio, as described in December 2003 QST Page 41 titled "Emergency Power at W1ZR".
