6. Nacelle Finalization

 

 

 

Mount the nacelle cover again using the screws marked in yellow. Fix the yellow screws 
with 2 Nm torque.

 

 

During installation the turbines yaw

-

axis can be locked to make installation easier and 

safer. This can be done by tightening the yaw

-

lock screw (red). Before the turbine can 

begin operation this screw has to be loosened so that half its lengh is outside the turbi-
ne. After installation fix the screw using Loctite.

 

 

The bearing

-

lockers should be checked (green). If these are too tight the turbine won´t 

be able to yaw correctly. If these are too loose the turbines operation might be louder 
than expected. 

 

 

Never  use  any  other  screws  than  those  delivered  with  the  turbine!  In  case  of  loss  of 
screws please contact FuSystems SkyWind. 

 

 

 

5. Nacelle Cable Connection

 

 

 

Measure up 6 mm² (AWG 10) solar cable so that the lengh will be sufficient from turbine 
to the inverter. The DC cable should not be longer than 20 m. If a longer distance must 
be covered, change from 6 mm² to 12 mm² (AWG 6) after the first five meters. The dis-
tance covered DC must not exceed 50 m in any case. 

 

 

Lead  the  cable  from  the  down  end  of  the  mast  adaptor  into  the  nacelle  (see  picture). 
Please note that the generator must not be dismounted to do so. 

 

 

Lead  one  cable  left  to the  generator,  one  cable  to  the  right  of  the  generator  (see  pic-
ture)  towards  the  generators  connection  cables.  Apply  plenty  of  grease  to  the  mast 
adaptor.

 

 

Connect the generator cables to your DC cables using crimp connectors.

 

 

Fix  the  cables  to  the  nacelle  using  zipties  at  the  dedicated  wholes  in  the  nacelle  (see 
picture).
