TriStar 45A PWM Charge Controller | 12/24/36/48VDC

Morningstar’s TriStar 45A PWM Charge Controller TS-45 is a great mid-range charge controller solution suitable for challenging Canadian climates. With its ouststanding build quality and advanced protection features, it provides superior reliability for demanding off-grid solar applications. Compatible with 12V / 24V / 36V / 48V systems. TriStar 45A PWM Charge Controller TS-45 Features & Benefits Reliability: Latest electronic and environmental protections, quality control, and design considerations comply with IEC 62109 and promote longevity in the harshest environments. Fully-rated for operation at temperatures up to 45°C. More Power: Ratings to 60A at 48VDC will handle solar arrays of up to 3.2kW of continuous power. High Temperature Operation: Full nameplate current rating, both solar and load up to 60°C continuous. Communications capability: with RS-232 port, connects to a PC for custom settings, data logging, remote monitoring and control. Low telecom noise: DIP switch setting will change PWM to “On-Off” battery charging. Automatic Solar-Based Lighting Control: Field adjustable, multi-event load control enables powerful options for solar lighting systems. Fully adjustable with DIP switches for seven digital presets. Additional custom setting via RS-232 SNMP Monitoring Supported: When used with Ethernet MeterBus Converter so you can view system current, voltages, and alerts in your network management system Extensive electronic protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, overcurrent and excessive temperature. Fanless design for long-term reliability Detailed battery programming options allow for advanced battery support for the latest Lithium, Nickel Cadmium, and Lead Acid battery types. Constant voltage series PWM design to provide highly efficient battery charging 4-stage charging to increase battery capacity and life: bulk charge, PWM regulation, float and equalize Starts large loads including motors and pumps with no damage to controller Allows inrush current to 300 amps Electronic short-circuit and overload protection with automatic reconnect LVD is current compensated and has a delay to avoid false disconnects May be used for solar, wind or hydroelectric To protect against battery overcharge, excess energy is diverted from the battery to an alternate DC resistive load PWM reduces power into diversion load during overcurrent conditions Electronic Protections Reverse polarity protection (any combination) Short-circuit protection Overcurrent protection Lightning and transient surge protection using 4500W transient voltage suppressors High temperature protection via automatic current reduction or complete shutdown Prevents reverse current from battery at night TriStar 45A PWM Charge Controller TS-45 Specifications Charge Rating45AMax.
