Typical PWRgate Use
PWRgate PG40 Backup Power System
Starting at - $ Optional Packages Available
- A PWRgate is a simple 12VDC backup power system that can supply up to 40 amperes continuously from either a Power Supply or a Battery.
- A PWRgate is very useful in a Ham shack, at Repeaters, and for Emergency Communications equipment centers.
- Connected equipment will instantly switch to battery during AC Power blackouts or Power Supply failures.
- The PWRgate uses two 80 ampere Schottky diodes connected as an OR-Gate to isolate the battery and power supply from each
other.
- These Schottky diodes have a forward voltage drop of only 0.4 volt maximum thereby dissipating only 16 watts at 40 amperes and
to provide more than adequate power for most radios.
- The PWRgate has a built-in mini-charger circuit made up of a resistor and diode that will provide up to 1 ampere to keep
the battery fully charged, ready-to-go and healthy.
- The built-in mini-charger circuit is optimized for sealed lead acid GEL/AGM type batteries for a proper maintenance charge
and will keep a flooded lead acid marine or automotive battery near full charge and healthy.
