Bell Fleet Application


We use an Onan 5.5 KW generator. The Trojan 4D AGM battery powers the generator set and runs some of the vehicle's off road lighting. The battery is charged by the Ford's 130 Amp alternator and the POWER-GATE isolates the vehicle batteries and the 4D. The setup works great.

I had a meeting with our Fleet managers in Ontario and they are sold on the POWER-GATE technology. It has been decided that Bell vehicles will integrate the P-GATE into the Isolator replacement program. I will advise purchasing that we will enter the switch into the parts replacement catalogue and we will advise our main parts supplier that we want to stock this switch to replace all standard isolators when required.

Regards,
Brian

That' almost exactly what we do on our service trucks, except we use Vanner industrial isolators. They get very hot and we loose about .75 of a volt between the input and output. This Powergate unit looks like the cats meow.
