1.1 Mechanical Hazard
Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The rotor blades
are made of very strong glass fiber & polypropylene and the blades may
reach velocities over 15 m/s. At this speed, the tip of the blades are nearly
invisible and can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances the turbine
should be installed in locations where a person could come in contact with
its moving rotor blades.
1.2 Electrical Hazard
The wind turbine is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to
protect from electrical dangers. Please note that the inherent personal
dangers from electrical current still exist, therefore caution should always
be taken while connecting this and other electrical devices. Heat in a wiring
system is often a result of excessive current flowing through an undersized
wire or a weak/damaged connection. Please consult the wire guide table
below.
Batteries can deliver a dangerous amount of current. If any short circuit
occurs in the wiring from the batteries, can result in a fire break-out. To avoid
this threat, a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker is required in the lines
connecting to the battery.
Choosing your wind turbine’s location
Before the installation of your wind turbine, you must carefully consider a
location. Things to consider when selecting your wind turbine location.
(A) Height and Distance from obstacles like buildings, trees:
• Install the wind turbine in open and windy sites so, the turbine will be
exposed to winds properly and the benefit can be maximized. A distance
of 7-10m should be maintained.
• The minimum recommended tower height is 22 ft (7 m) to 33 ft (10 m).
The wind speed below 22 ft (7 m) constrained by the terrain is low and
chaotic.
