Wiring Compensation for Average Wind Speed
For different average wind speeds, the wire LENGTHS in the charts should be
compensated. Compensating by changing wire gauge can lead to safety problems. For the
average wind speed of your site, multiply each wire length
in the chart by the factor shown:
Average Wind Speed Multiplier for Wire LENGTHS
9mph 2
10mph 1.5
11mph 1.25
12mph 1
13mph 0.8
14mph 0.6
Wiring Resistance and Regulation
Wiring resistance can affect the regulation set point of the turbine. Higher wiring resistance
(smaller
wires) will lower the voltage at which the turbine enters regulation and stops
charging. The recommended wiring sizes should provide little effect on the regulation set
point, but all installations should be observed over time to ensure that the batteries are
charged to the proper voltage.
3.1.3 Grounding
Properly grounding the turbine is very important in protecting the electronics for long-term
operation. Grounding procedures must be followed along with any local electrical codes.
IMPORTANT: SEVERE TURBINE DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM IMPROPER
GROUNDING! FAILURE TO PROPERLY GROUND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
It is very important to ground your battery bank and ground your tower for lightning and static
protection. Proper grounding also enhances the safety of your turbine system. The green
lead wire provides grounding for the body of the turbine. This wire must be connected to the
system earth ground. This is usually done by connecting a wire from a ground rod near the
base of the tower to the green turbine lead wire. For additional lightning and static
protection, another wire should connect this ground rod to the tower pipe.
The negative wire of your system should also be connected to a ground. This is usually
done by connecting a wire from the negative battery terminal to a nearby ground rod. Wires
with the same ratings as the positive and negative wires must connect all system grounds
(see Wire Size Section 3.1.2).
