Error

Possible cause

Possible actions

Wind turbine 

does not start up

Not enough wind

None

“Stop” switch pressed

Release the “Stop” switch

Rotor turns too 

slowly

Rotor blades incorrectly 

attached

Attach the rotor blades 

correctly

Rotor blades not balanced

Balance the rotor blades

Bearing for wind alignment 

is stiff

Replace the bearing

Generator makes contact 

as it turns

Send the generator in to 

the manufacturer

Unfavourable location or 

tower too low

Check and move to 

another location if 

necessary

Increase the height of the 

tower

Wind turbine 

vibrates on tower

Rotor not balanced

Balance the rotor

Tower not aligned vertically

Align the tower vertically

Tower bends in the wind

Design a more robust 

tower

Tower foundation has too 

much clearance

Reduce the clearance to a 

minimum

Wind turbine 

system produces 

too little power

Contact the manufacturer 

or a specialist dealer

Cable cross-section does 

not match installed cable 

length

Match the cable cross-

section correctly

Table 12Errors without an LED

Recommendation:

Make a note of the relevant parameters at the site and have them handy 

when you contact the manufacturer / specialist dealer.

1. What is the average / typical wind speed?

2. How high is the tower?

3. What are the characteristics of the countryside / built-up area in the vicinity of 

the wind turbine?

4. What is the voltage between phases (measured by a qualified electrician – this 

voltage should be roughly identical in identical wind conditions)?

5. What is the battery voltage? How old is the battery or batteries?

6. Which loads are connected to the battery?
