5.4 Wire Size
All electrical systems Iose energy due to resistance in conductors: the wires.
Large wires have less resistance but can be considerably more costly. Resistance losses will
also increase with increasing current; therefore, if yours is a high wind site, it may be worth-
while to go with a larger size wire to take advantage of the greater power production potential
of your site. Conversely, in low wind sites it may not be cost effective to increase the wire size
since power production will be low.
For selection of wire size, the following factors should be taken into consideration:
1. Measuring the distance from the batteries to your wind turbine. Be sure to include height of
the tower;
2. Your system voltage;
3. Your system power distance.
For selection of wire size, the following factors should be followed:
1. Practical and affordable;
2. Satisfying using condition;
3. The positive pole of battery is red line, negative pole is black Iine (or blue line).
The following wiring sizes provide maximum annual energy losses of 5% or less for sites with a
5.4m/s average wind speed (assuming the standard Rayleigh distribution of wind speeds)
which is sufficient for most sites.
Refer to the appropriate chart for your system voltage and number of turbines and select
the wire size.

6 Debug and Test
The operation of wind turbine system should be debugged after Installation, the requirements
are as follows:
6.1 Make sure the functions of controller meet the requirements; the specification of control-
ler is matched with voltage and current of battery, solar panel, wind turbine and loads;
6.2 Wiring is in strict accordance with wiring requirements of controller. Firstly, connect to
battery and dumper, and then connect to small wind turbine and solar panel, at last connect
to load; take down connection in the reverse order.
Positive and negative pole of the battery, solar panel can not be reversed and short-circuited;
