TURBINE MOUNTING
Your SETUR turbine has a frame design with 4 (four) outer L-profiles that can be used for mounting the
turbine.
There are many mounting choices. The most popular of them is to build a preferably concrete base or use
the existing one. Then use anchor bolts to attach the turbine to the base. You may drill a few holes of up to
10 mm in the above mentioned L-profiles for this purpose. 4 holes would be enough to mount the turbine.

The other option is to attach the turbine to a frame that is installed across the stream or suspended from a
bridge. You can also attach your turbine to a concrete river bank, seawall or mount it within a new or
existing dam or mill.
Whatever your mounting choice is, the SETUR turbine must be safely attached to a solid structure
that prevents any movement, slippage, fall or detachment.
It is best to wait until your turbine has arrived before you complete this task. There is nothing better than
having the turbine on site to avoid errors.
Insert a triangular piece of styrofoam, plastic, rubber or soft wood between the spherical rotor
and the confusor, big enough to prevent the precession movement of the rotor before the turbine
is fully installed and wired. Remove it when the turbine is already safely mounted within a water
stream, electrically connected to the load via a rectifier and inverter, and is ready to get operational. In
case the water is delivered to the turbine via a pipe, it must have a on/off valve.
