10.1 Wiring
Please follow these guidelines when wiring the
SkyWind NG
:
Always use:
•
Red cable to wire the
+
DC
-
pole and
•
Black cable to the
-
DC
-
pole of your wind turbine.
The main ON/OFF Switch has to be installed as shown in the wiring diagrams. It must switch off
the entire system! The generator must be DC short circuited once the main switch is set to OFF.
Always use:
•
One, and only one, inverter or charge controller per turbine
•
The automatic storm control system delivered with your SkyWind NG
•
No additional generators (like solar etc.) on the same DC circuit.
Always and only use charge controllers or inverters that are meant and tested for use with the
SkyWind NG micro wind turbine.
Under no circumstances is it allowed to install the rotor blade if no charge controller/ grid in-
verter and storm control are installed and active!
Do not use DC heating elements directly connected to the SkyWind NG generator!
Always ope-
rate SkyWind NG with charge controller/grid inverter and a storm control system.
Attention: Protect all outside cables, especially the DC cabling.
Only use proper Solarflex cable for DC installation. Satify all appli-
cable standards for electrical connections and cables.
Attention: Do not hang more than 20 kg of cable weight un-
derneath the wind turbine.
Always use copper wire to prevent corrosion problems.
Contract professionals for your installation! Electricity can cause
deadly harm!
Avoid contact between different materials (e.g. copper and alumi-
num). You might create a galvanic cell, corroding the contacts.
All cables and connections should be checked regularly for signs
of wear or corrosion and correct function. An electrical failure or
braking cable can cause destruction of your wind turbine!
NEVER, NOT FOR A SINGLE SECOND is it allowed to connect the generator
directly to an inappropriate power source (e.g. 110/230 V grid, batteries).
This will immediate cause destruction of the wind turbine and might be
deadly!
