Dump Load and optional Current Booster Module wiring
The 3024 can directly drive dump loads up to 20 amps. For dump loads of up to 40 amps the optional the Current Booster Module
(CBM) part number CBM4070 may be used. The CBM consists of a large optically isolated MOSFET output stage which turns on when
a 3 to 32VDC drive signal is present on it’s input. The 3024’s 2A-CHG output is used as the PWM drive signal for the CBM. For dump
load needs in excess of 40 amps multiple CBM’s may be driven from a single 3024. For these applications multiple CBM inputs are
connected in parallel. CBM outputs must connect to separate 40 amp maximum dump loads with separate 50 amp maximum over
current protection. Do not directly parallel outputs.

¾ WARNING: Current Booster
Module part number CBM4070
must be mounted with heatsink
fins oriented vertically as shown
to facilitate convection cooling.
Do not separate power module
from heatsink, enclose in a
confined space or restrict air
flow. Do not connect the input or
output reverse polarity or exceed
the 40 amp PWM current rating.
