2.2 Electrical hazards 

Only connect all components if you have the relevant  experience. Complete all 

electrical  connections  before  the  wind  generator  runs  for  the  first  time.  These 
voltages / currents can cause burns or fire if safety is disregarded.   

Caution  with  pacemakers,  etc.!  Never  touch  stripped  cable  ends.  The  current 

strength when charging batteries can reach more than 50 A direct current (DC). 
All cables, electrical components and connection points must be able to withstand 
a minimum of 60 A at 12 V. For protection, a 60 A fuse at 12 V (30 A at 24 V) 
must be installed in the supply line (+) to the battery, as close as possible to the 
battery.   

 Warning: Lines with insufficiently dimensioned cross sections can heat 

up to such an extent that a fire can occur.   

Cables must be laid so that there is no mechanical damage to the cables. A frayed 

cable poses security risks.   

 Warning: Sparks can occur when connecting the batteries.   

Avoid  short-circuiting  the  batteries.  Always  make  sure  there  is  adequate 

ventilation!   

It must be ensured that the electrical installation is only carried out by people with 

expertise.   

Before a storm, the SHARK S601 should be braked using the stop switch built 

into the charge controller. In the event of an oncoming hurricane, it makes sense 
if a rotor blade is tied to the mast. This is especially recommended when operating 
the SHARK S601 on a sailing yacht. 

  

2.3 Installation hazards   

Only use mast constructions that can withstand the loads generated by the wind 

generator and its wind pressure, as well as movements of the ship (forces can add 
up) at any wind speed.   

Work  on  the  mast  should  preferably  be  carried  out  on  a  windless  day.  No  one 

should be in the danger area of the generator mast.
