Victron Argofet 200-3 3 batteries 200A IsolatorMaximum Charge Current (A): 200 Maximum Alternator Current (A): 200 Number Of Batteries: 3 Connection: M8 Bolts Dimensions: H65 x W120 x D200mm Weight (kg): 1. 4 Warranty: 5 Years When using ARGO FET Battery Isolators there is no need to also increase the output voltage of the alternator. Care should taken however to keep cable lengths short and of sufficient cross section. Example: When a current of 100 A flows through a cable of 50 mm2 cross section

When using ARGO FET Battery Isolators there is no need to also increase the output voltage of the alternator. Care should taken however to keep cable lengths short and of sufficient cross section.

Example: When a current of 100 A flows through a cable of 50 mm2 cross section (AWG 0) and 10 m length (30 ft) the voltage drop over the cable will be 0 26 Volt. Similarly a current of 50 A through a cable of 10 mm2 cross section (AWG 7) and 5 m length (15 ft) will result in a voltage drop of 0 35 Volt!

Alternator energize input

Some alternators need DC voltage on the B+ output to start charging. Obviously DC will be present when the alternator is directly connected to a battery. Inserting a Diode or FET splitter will however prevent any return voltage/current from the batteries to the B+ and the alternator will not start. The new Argofet isolators have a special current limited energize input that will power the B+ when the engine run/stop switch is closed.
