Problem
Symptom
Solution
Insufficient charging current to the
battery bank when the rotor is run-
Insufficient wind speed, below the
start-up speed (11KPH, 7MPH)
Wait for better wind speed condi-
tion
Insufficient charging current to the
battery bank when the rotor is run-
ning
Rotor and/or yaw bearings within
the break-in period
This requires about 60-100 hours of
operation in normal wind speed (18-
20MPH) before they are running at
peak efficiency
Insufficient charging current to the
battery bank when the rotor is run-
ning
Rotor shaft gets stuck and rotates
with difficulty
Rotor bearings damaged (rusted or
with dust). The bearings need to be
replaced

Stator and rotor touching together
because of excessive bearing waste.

Consistent air turbulence condition
(1)
Change the location and/or increase
the height of the tower/mast. Make
sure to install the turbine 25ft
(7.6m) on open ground or 20ft (6m)
above nearby obstructions

Generating power at controlled rpm This is normal when the wind speed
and/or the battery bank voltage are
close to their highest limits. For
more details see the Indicator Light
on the operating status table. The
unit will resume normal rpm opera-
tion in an automatic and unattended
way
