Connection to the feed-in inverter
Please read carefully the instructions of the inverter’s manual when you want to connect an
inverter. Notice that the most inverters need to use constant tension and have to be protected
against overvoltage. There are suitable inverters and overload protections available at our
online shop. The wind turbine should have a manual stop switcher which may not put the
wind turbine to short-circuit, but must be able to brake the turbine with a resistor.
Troubleshooting
The wind turbine does not start to turn fast when:
•
Brake of the charge controller is switched to I
•
A short-circuit between the cores was created during connecting the cables
•
An additionally installed stop switcher is switched on
•
Rotor blades are mounted up-side-down
•
Generator rubs against the syphon
•
The position for the wind adjustment is too sluggish
•
The rotor blades are not well balanced
•
No battery is connected to the charge controller
•
The locking device to the battery is defect
•
There is not enough wind
•
The wind turbine or the charge controller is defect
In order to find the mistake, we will have to do a process of elimination. Therefore you should
disconnect the three cores of the wind turbine from the charge controller. When the wind
turbine starts up, there has to be a mistake between the charge controller and the battery.
When the turbine still turns very slowly, the mistake has to be between the charge controller
and the wind turbine.
If the wind turbine does not have enough power:
•
Wind speed is too low
•
Installation location is not chosen well or the tower is not tall enough
•
The cable diameter does not fit to the installed cable length
•
The battery is too small, so that the charging end voltage is reached to early (the
battery should at least have 100 Ah)
•
The rotor is not balanced well
The wind turbine vibrates atop the tower:
•
The rotor was not balanced well
•
The wind turbine is in no vertical position
•
The tower capacity has too much play
•
The tower is not adequately robust
Before you contact the manufacturer concerning certain mistakes, please measure the
following parameters and report them to the manufacturer:
1.
How high is the wind speed
2.
How high is the tower
