3 SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Please carefully study this manual before starting assembly and installation. The
information provided is to ensure your safety during mounting, operation, and in case of
trouble. If you have any additional questions please contact your dealer, a Superwind
service partner, or the manufacturer.
3.1
Potential sources of danger
Wind turbines in general – including small wind generators like the
Superwind
–
are electrical machines and thus potential sources of hazards.
3.1.1 Mechanical
dangers
The main danger is the spinning rotor. The rotor blades are sharp and
can cause serious injuries, even at very low speed.
Never touch a spinning rotor.
Never try to stop the rotor by hand.
Do not mount the unit where personnel can come in contact with
the spinning rotor.
The rotor blades are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. This
material is extremely sturdy and enables your
Superwind
to cope with
heavy storms; however the rotor blades can break if any objects (e.g.
ropes, loose sail battens, branches etc.) come in contact with a spinning
rotor. The fragments of broken blades are sharp and can be thrown off of
the rotor at very high speed.
Protect the spinning rotor from impact with foreign objects.
For aerodynamic reasons the trailing edges of the rotor blades are very
thin and sharp.
Be careful when unpacking and handling in order to avoid injuries
as well as damage to the blades.
3.1.2 Electrical dangers
The generator can produce dangerous open circuit voltages up to 52
VDC (12 V version) and 105 VDC (24 V version) at no-load operation if
the electrical connection to the battery or consumer (load) is interrupted.
This open circuit voltage will be reached at a wind speed of
approximately
35 m/s.
The charging current will reach up to 30 Ampere DC (12 V version) or 15
Ampere DC (24 V version)! All wires, electrical components and
connectors must be rated for 40 Amps (12 V version) or 20 Amps (24 V
version). For correct dimensioning (gauge) refer to Section 6, Tables
6.3.1.1 and 6.3.1.2 on page 19.
