1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The
BSG
has been designed with your safety in mind. However, there are inherent dangers
involved with any electrical and/or mechanical equipment.
The BSG is designed with your personal safety as the first priority. However, there are
still some inherent dangers involved in the electrical/mechanical equipment. Safety
must be the priority concern during installation of the system. if you are not sure, if
there is any problem with the wind turbine, don’t use it and let the wind turbine work
after a professional specialist have check your system.
Safety must be the primary concern as you plan the location, installation and
operation of the turbine. At all times be aware of electrical, mechanical and rotor blade
hazards.
If you hear, that extreme wind is coming, please also fix one rotor blade to the pole
with a robe. Then you will have a long lifetime with your wind turbine without any
complications.
The rotor can get a wind power of 3000 N up to the black 500, so the pole or tower
must be able to hold this. Please ask static experts, if you pole is strong enough fixed.
·Choose a calm day to erect the tower.
·Undersized wires or bad connections should be avoided as they will often result in
overheating and potentially cause electrical fire.
·Never approach an operating turbine during strong winds or during thunderstorms.
1.1 Mechanical Hazard
Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The
BSG
rotor blades are
made of very strong fiberglass. At the tip, the blades may be moving at velocities over
275 miles per hour (440 km/hr). At this speed, the tip of a blade is nearly invisible and
can cause serious injury.
Under no circumstances should you install the turbine
where a person could come in contact with moving rotor blades.
CAUTION:
DO NOT INSTALL THE TURBINE WHERE ANYONE CAN APPROACH
THE PATH OF THE BLADES.
1.2 Electrical Hazards
The
BSG
is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to provide protection from
over current electrical dangers. The internal electronics of the
BSG
prevent open circuit
voltages from rising above 20 volts for 12-volt systems or above 40 volts for 24-volt systems.
Please note that the inherent personal dangers from electrical current still exist,
therefore caution should always be used when connecting this and other electrical devices.
