Fig. 10. Single Turbine Installation with Up-Tower Junction Box
Fig. 10
represents a system with an Up Tower Junction Box.
The junction box may be installed close to the top of the tower
to ease installing a Lightning Arrestor or it may be mounted
close to the tower base and incorporate the stop switch.
Typically installing the box will require drilling holes in the
tower to install the box – be careful not to compromise the
tower strength.
