The turbine (especially its tail) is 
yawing continuously 

Swirling air because of turbulence 

Change the location and/or in-
crease the height of the tower/

Every time the rotor shaft begins to 
spin, it stops suddenly with a strong 
brake action 

Open circuit in the DC connection 
between the turbine and the 
battery bank 

Check for loose or open connec-
tions in the cables. Make sure the 
DPDT blade switch is in the ON po-
sition (neither the open not the 
brake [short circuit] one) 

The rotor remains stopped even 
with high wind speed conditions 

If the indicator light is solid red 

The battery bank voltage and/or 
the internal temperature of the 
turbine have reached their highest 
(cut-out) limit and the turbine 
stops. The turbine will resume nor-
mal operation in an automatic and 
unattended way. Wait for the prop-
er cut-in threshold or reset the unit 
disconnecting and reconnecting the 
battery voltage with the DPDT 

The rotor remains stopped even 

If the indicator light is off 

Make sure the DPDT switch is not in 

The rotor remains stopped even 
with high wind speed conditions 

If the indicator light is off 

There is some mechanical problem 
(rotor shaft bearings, hub, internal 
stator and rotor contact, internal 
damage). The unit has to be in-
spected 

The turbine works at controlled 
rpm often, with the battery bank 
voltage below the normal maxi-
mum of 57.2V (24V system 28.6V) 

The indicator light status is flashing 
red 

Normal if within the + 7% of toler-
ance in the battery voltage thresh-
old values shown in the Operating 
Status Table 

The turbine works at controlled 
rpm often, with the battery bank 
voltage below the normal maxi-
mum of 57.2V (24V system 28.6V) 

The indicator light status is flashing 
red 

Excessive voltage drop through the 
cables and/or related connectors. 
Please check the proper cable 
gauge vs length as per the cable 
gauge chart, the related connectors 
and the batteries’ posts 

The turbine works at controlled 
rpm often, with the battery bank 
voltage below the normal maxi-
mum of 57.2V (24V system 28.6V) 

The indicator light status is flashing 
red 

High resistance or loose connection 
in the turbine’s brushes and/or 
their tracks. They should be in-
spected and cleaned
