1. Controller Connection: Before erecting the
P
tower, connect the 3
Phase wire from
P
to the controller. These 3 wires can be connected to
the wind turbine terminals (A, B and C terminals) in any order. Turn the breaker
switch on the controller to the
STOP
position. After erecting your tower, make
sure that batteries are connected tightly and correctly to the controller, and then
turn the breaker switch to
OPEN
position.
2. The electric circuit breaker on the controller protects the batteries in case of
accidental shorts.
3. The battery capacity is subject to client’s requirement, but a 100-150AH/12V
battery is recommended for a single
P
System.
4. Undersized cables will cause energy loss (voltage drop) to the system. The
larger the cable size, the smaller the energy loss. However, larger size cables will
be more costly.
5. The negative pole of the battery should be properly grounded.
The following cable sizes are recommended for the
P
system:
Distance to Battery
50 meters
50-100 meters
100-150 meters
Cable Size
12 AWG(4mm2)
10 AWG
(6mm2)
8
AWG(10mm2)
6. Maintenance
The
P
is a very reliable series and is designed to run for long periods,
without any maintenance, under severe conditions. Routine checking of the tower
and cable wiring system is suggested to maintain the reliability and performance
of your
P
.
1. Check guy rope tension and tighten/losen if needed, especially after storms.
During first three months after erecting the tower, periodic inspection should be
conducted.
2. Check all electrical connections to make sure they are properly connected,
tightened and free from corrosion.
3. Maintain batteries according to battery manual.
7. Safety Precautions
The
P
is designed with your personal safety as the first priority.
However, there are still some inherent dangers involved in operating any
electrical/mechanical equipment.
Safety must be your primary concern during the installation of the system.
7.1
Choose a calm day to erect the tower.
7.2
Undersized wires or bad connections should be avoided as they will often
result in overheating and potentially cause electrical fire.
7.3
Never approach an operating turbine during strong winds or during
thunderstorms.
