[QUOTE="Team Hammer, post: 2540719, member: 572786"] I wired a few of those systems and the Alt is nothing more then a battery charger. The load is carried by the battery banks and there isolated from the Alt to protect it. If that alt tried to run a system of 10Kw that comes to 700amps output. If you have 60+ Batteries at 600 amps that comes to 36K which could run for 8mins before the voltage falls off below 10v which is the just above the min required before damaging a cell or two. Thats one reason why Comp systems need muti Isolators, To break-Up the bank in sections. This keeps one bank from having to supply the whole system. Cause if you lose One or Two batteries "Most often the closest ones to the end" They will try to draw from those up the chain. [/QUOTE]
