Run / Stop Switch -
A simple switch arrangement can provide a safe and easy way of
stopping the turbine for maintenance.
Leading Edge Turbines
can supply a switch which is
best for this purpose. As the switch is thrown, the batteries are disconnected and the
turbine is ‘shorted’ reducing the rotor to a slow rotation. Refer to the generic wiring
diagrams.
If the cables you are using don’t easily fit into the
run / stop switch terminals, the cable can
be reduced to 4mm2 before entering the run / stop switch. The cable can then be
increased again to its previous size after the switch and this will have a negligible effect on
volt drop.
•
Charge Controllers
–
A Tristar 45A or 60A Diversion Charge Controller is recommended to
manage the power output from the turbine to the batteries. The diversion charge
controller operates by increasingly switching output to a dump load once the batteries
begin to reach high volta
ges. The dump load consumes the ‘excess’ power from the
turbine. This means that the turbine’s power output is always utilised whether the
batteries are fully charged or not. Larger capacity battery banks will be able to store more
energy and so the dump load will be used less. Do not use a photovoltaic type
charge controller with your LE-600 turbine.

‘Hybrid’ Systems
-
The
LE-600 Turbine
can be used in parallel with PV panels. The PV
panels must be wired independently with a separate charge controller specifically
designed for use with PV panels and connected in parallel with the battery bank - see Fig-
13.
Please refer to the following wiring diagrams as a guide.
