The Midnite Clipper was designed to work in conjuction with the Classic MPPT Controller to give you safe reliable control of your wind turbine while also giving you true three stage charging of your batteries. The combination of the Clipper and Classic has been proven to increase daily harvest upto 250% as well as peak power by 300% on some turbines.
Theory of operation:
The Clipper protects charge controllers and other electronics by sensing the incoming voltage from the turbine/Hydro
and using its internal loads as needed to hold down the incoming voltage to a value that you set. When used with
a Classic MPPT charge controller, the Classic uses its auxiliary output to control the Clipper to provide optimum
performance. The internal load should be sized according to the turbine that it is used with to provide adequate
braking, but not overload the turbine/hydro. When the slider on the side of the Clipper is in the stop position the input
voltage (DC or Three Phase) is held to zero volts through 50 amp circuit breakers to provide emergency braking.
