shut the wind turbine down in heavy weather at sea. Spray and
waves, parts detached from the rigs or from the sails or other
equipment could strike and damage the spinning rotor. Reduced
mobility under such conditions could also increase the risk of
accidental contact with the spinning rotor by personnel
If you run the system without a charge regulator (Not Recommended!) a
stop switch is mandatory and in this case the battery’s state of charge
must be continuously supervised by the operator and stopped when the
battery is fully charged or if the system is going to be left unattended for
any reason. The stop switch disconnects the
Superwind
from the battery
and simultaneously shuts down the rotor.
The stop switch must be installed in the line between the wind generator
and the battery as close to the wind generator as possible (see Wiring
Diagrams in Section 6.2.1.1 on Page 18).
NEVER PUT A CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BETWEEN
THE STOP SWITCH AND THE WIND TURBINE.
The stop switch has two positions:
a)
RUN
The positive wire from the generator is connected to the
battery.
The negative wire from the generator is connected to the battery.
b)
STOP
The positive and the negative wires from the wind
generator are short-circuited (generator short-circuit brakes the
rotor). The positive and the negative lines from the battery are
both open and disconnected from the wind generator.
For further information concerning the connection of the stop switch refer
to the respective installation manual.
ONLY USE A STOP SWITCH PROVIDED BY SUPERWIND!
SUPERWIND SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRE THE BATTERY
TO BE DISCONNECTED AND NOT SHORT-CIRCUITED
WHEN THE SWITCH IS OPERATED.

Grounding
In order to protect your system against damage by lightning or over voltage, it
should be properly grounded. The design of the grounding system depends on
the local conditions, place of installation, type of soil, groundwater table, or the
availability of a pre-existing grounding bus. If you are in doubt, consult an
experienced electrician or an electrical systems technician.
When installing the
Superwind
on a yacht we recommend connecting the mast
or support to the ship´s grounding system whenever possible.
