Centaur Charger - 24 VDC - 30AMP - 3-Bank - 120-240 VAC

The Victron Energy Centaur Charger is built to withstand the toughest conditions with quality materials and advanced engineering. Its aluminum epoxy powder-coated case with a drip shield and stainless steel fixings ensure durability in adverse environments, including heat, humidity, and salt air. The circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Temperature sensors are integrated to ensure power components operate within specified limits, automatically reducing output current under extreme conditions if needed.

This charger operates universally with an input voltage range of 90-265V AC, suitable for both AC-DC and DC-DC operation. It does not require any adjustment for this wide voltage range, whether 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and also accepts a 90-400 V DC supply. The Centaur Charger features three isolated outputs, each capable of supplying the full rated current to simultaneously charge three battery banks. It employs a three-stage charging process with temperature compensation, charging at bulk rate until the output reduces to 70% of the rated amps, after which a 4-hour timer begins. After this period, the charger switches to float rate. An internal temperature sensor adjusts the charge voltage with a compensation rate of –2 mV/ºC per cell. A DIP switch allows selecting the optimal charge/float voltages for Flooded Lead-acid, Gel, or AGM batteries.

• Quality without compromise - Aluminium epoxy powder coated cases with drip shield and stainless steel fixings withstand the rigors of an adverse environment: heat, humidity and salt air. Circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Temperature sensors ensure that power components will always operate within specified limits, if needed by automatic reduction of output current under extreme environmental conditions.

• Universal 90-265V AC input voltage range and also suitable for DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation) All models will operate without any adjustment needed over a 90 to 265 Volt input voltage range, whether 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

• The chargers also accept a 90-400 V DC supply.

• Three outputs that each can supply the full output current Three isolated outputs to simultaneously charge 3 battery banks Each output is capable to supply the full rated current.

• Three-stage charging, with temperature compensation The Centaur charges at bulk rate until the output has reduced to 70% of the rated Amps, at which a 4 hour timer begins. After the timed period the charger switches to float rate. An internal temperature sensor is used to compensate the charge voltage with – 2 mV/ºC (– 1 mV/ºF) per cell. A DIP switch is available to select the optimum charge/float voltages for Flooded Lead-acid, Gel or AGM batteries
