9.3 Cable Diameter Sizes:
To select the appropriate cables gauge, measure the distance between the turbine and the batter-
ies. Make sure to include the height of the tower. Please refer to the following wire gauge chart.
NOTES:
For the connection between the DPDT switch and the battery bank, you can use the same
double wiring per polarity as in the table. Alternatively you can use a single cable AWG #6. In
all the cases the cable between the DPDT and the battery bank has to be no more than 3ft
long.
The DPDT blade switch included in the kit allows cables up to AWG #4 easily. For the AWG #2,
perhaps you need to remove some of the wires at the end of the cable to reduce its diameter
or use a proper spade or pin crimp terminal.
9.4 Inverters
This device is used to convert the DC power from the battery to the standard AC power used at
home.
Verify the capacity and type of your inverter to ensure that it is appropriate for the load you are us-
ing.
Always use 48VDC inverters (24V system need to match 24V inverters).
Always use inverters equipped with battery (DC Input) overvoltage protection circuit and
batter low voltage (under voltage) disconnect feature.
