1.1 Mechanical Hazard
Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The rotor
blades are made of very strong thermoplastic. At the tip, the blades may
be moving at velocities over 15 m/s. At this speed, the tip of a blade is
nearly invisible and can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances
should you install the turbine where a person could come in contact with
moving rotor blades.
1.2 Electrical Hazard
The wind turbine is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to
provide protection from electrical dangers. Please note that the inherent
personal dangers from electrical current still exist, therefore caution
should always be used when connecting this and other electrical devices.
Heat in a wiring system is often a result of too much current flowing
through an undersized wire or through a bad connection. Please consult
wire guide table below.
Batteries can deliver a dangerous amount of current. If a short circuit
occurs in the wiring from the batteries, a fire can result. In order to avoid
this threat, a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker is required in the lines
connecting to the battery.
Choosing your wind turbine’s location
Prior to the mounting of your wind turbine, you must carefully consider a
location.Things to consider when thinking about your location
A) Distance from any obstacles that will cause turbulence, trees,
• Locate your Turbine in windy sites so as not to disturb neighbors
and animals around. The noise and vibration element cannot be
got rid of even if this wind turbine offers the lowest noise than any
others on the market. The better location of your Turbine requires
