Diversion Load Control
DC generator devices, such as wind turbines and hydro-electric
generators, may be damaged by over-spinning if the DC loads are
suddenly removed from them. This can happen if the DC disconnect
should open (trip) or the batteries are fully charged and no other DC loads
are connected in the system. A diversion load controller prevents
damage to the generator system by diverting the power from the generator
to a diversion load device. This keeps a load on the generator and controls
over-spin if the batteries should be disconnected. Refer to the controller
manual for proper types of diversion load devices.
