How do I hook up an air heating dump load and Tristar 45 from the Classic 250 to control the turbine from freewheeling once the 48 volt is battery bank is full? The Aux 2 is already used leaving Aux 1 for controlling a 12 volt relay. Assuming the Power Curve of the XL1 is now updated in the Classic 250 and will limit the voltage to 139 volts in failsafe mode, What type of relay and where do I purchase one?. Will Radio Shack have one? Do I set the Tristar 45 to one volt above Float voltage so it will kick in and run the dump load?
Please comment, correct my false assumptions, and help point me in the right direction. Thanks
I am currently trying to work out with Bergey why they are giving out such bad information. Do not buy a Morning-star you do not need the extra hardware that is just plain bad advice from Bergey.
What I would do is one of 3 things:
1-Buy a 1500 watt AC clipper (it was designed for bergey)
2-Use the Classics Aux2 to run a diversion off the battery bank to keep the battery below the absorb set point. I would use a solid state relay for this.
3-Use the Classics Aux2 to run a home brew clipper. I would use a 3 phase triac like the 25 amp version on our website. Then I would use 3 of the 2 ohm resistors one per phase. The Bergey XL1 needs 2 ohms per phase on its clipper.
I am still on hold with Bergey :o

Just chatted with Tod Hanley at Bergey and he agrees one of those 3 above ideas.
