Hi Scorp 007
When using the 3 phase rectifier I was using a Victron MPPT controller with smoothing capacitors. I changed this to a hybrid wind and solar MPPT controller and feed the 3 phase directly into the controller, not via the rectifier. I am getting the same result. I want to charge the batteries as quickly as possible.
Hi All I have built a 2.0 Kw hydro generator. I am using a 2.0 Kw axial flux PWM generator rated at 48 volts 3 phase and 500 RPM. The hydro part of it gives constant RPM of the generator. I feed the 3 phase through a three phase rectifier and the output is 49 VDC. This feeds a 48 volt battery bank made up of four 12 VDC AGM batteries in series. The issue I have is that I am only producing 1.2 Amps, even when the batteries are below 48 volts. Any ideas?
