A dual rectifier has all the same outstanding performance characteristics of a single rectifier, but provides two, one-way electrical valves in a single package. DC current can flow in one direction, but not in the reverse direction. Dual rectifiers are commonly deployed in dual battery configurations where each battery may be discharged independent of the other.
A common problem with conventional “marine” or “RV”; style isolators (aside from performance issues related to the obvious voltage drop and associated heat) is dealing with an internally regulated alternator. A dedicated “sneak” circuit insures hassle-free integration with internally regulated alternators. Ultra-low on-resistance means devices require no heat sinking and no airflow at currents up to 300 amps. . Dual rectifiers are epoxy encapsulated in a custom ABS enclosure and are well suited for hostile environments. An inline, fast-blow, one amp fuse on the primary ground wire protects the device from reverse polarity should the battery be connected incorrectly. POWER-GATE is recommended by top battery manufacturers to insure that DC power gets to where it’s needed without the excessive heat and voltage loss typified by more common, lesser performing silicon and Schottky devices.
