Plasmatronics PL20 20A Multi-voltage Regulator
The PL series of charge controllers give you freedom to operate your solar electric system the way you want to.
They offer complete control over the charge cycle, plus an unprecedented amount of useful information about currrent and past performacne.
PL regulators help to protect the system with a build in low battery disconnect switch. In addition the versatile event controller can switch power on or off according to criteria set by the user. This allows PL to do extra tasks such as switching a light on at night or keeping a water tank full by operating a pump when needed.
Advantages
The user can select either Pulse Width Modulation or slow speed switching. Regulation can be done in both series and shunt modes. Other features can backup generator control and charging a second battery.
