Batteries
can store large and potentially hazardous amounts of energy which can be
delivered within a very short amount of time. If batteries are included in an electrical
system the risk of fire in case of short circuits etc. are much higher. Install a fuse to y-
our battery connection to prevent this risk. Also make sure to connect the battery as a
last step after all the wiring and connections have been finished. Never use damaged
parts and make sure to look for maintenance that might be required for your battery
type.
5.3 Safety During Installation
Please take at least the following precautions during your installation:
•
Choose a calm day. No more than 2 Bft of wind is allowed!
•
KEEP YOUR SAFETY IN MIND! Contract trained professionals for the installation.
•
Disconnect any power sources (Public grid, batteries, storages of all kinds) from your wind
turbine and its electrical components (charge controller, grid inverter) during installation.
•
Make sure that the wind turbines cables (red/black +/
-
) are shorted during installation of
the rotor blade. This will be prevent the turbine from rotation.
•
Keep in mind that this a mechanical piece of equipment that might generate large amount
of physical force as the wind, especially during a storm, can create sudden bursts of immen-
se power. It is important to take all installation steps with care for detail and to check every
step once work is completed. Very little power production or even a broken turbine are the
likely result of mistakes. A wind turbine can be destroyed by a single gust within literally
seconds if handled or installed incorrectly.
We wish you a successful and long lasting operation of your SkyWind NG turbine!
Install a fuse for the AC
-
Output of your wind turbine system. Ne-
ver install a fuse between the turbine and the grid inverter or
charge controller.
NEVER work on a live wire. Always disconnect or shut down all
power sources before starting work.
Always contract trained professionals for the installation or work
on the turbine!
Prepare as much as you can while on the ground. Reduce the time
and work on the rooftop or tower as much as you possibly can.
Always make sure the turbine is shut
-
off when working on the
system—no matter which part you are working on.
Make sure the rotors have the correct orientation: The winglets
must face away from the nacelle.
Installing the rotor blades must be the very last step of the instal-
lation. Only install the rotor once every other step is finished.
