Batteries used in renewable energy systems can deliver a serious amount of current. A short circuit 
in  the  battery  circuit  can  lead  to  hundreds  of  Amps  flowing  through  the  battery  cables.  This  will 
cause a  heat  build-up and ultimately  an  electrical fire.  Batteries are also  susceptible to exploding 
when  shorted.  Always  use  insulated  electrical  tools  when  working  on  the  battery’s  electrical 
connections. 
 
Batteries  are  very  heavy.  Do  not  attempt  to  move  batteries  by  yourself.  Always  use  manual 
handling tools and an assistant. Always keep lead-acid batteries the correct way up. Do not allow 
the acidic electrolyte to spill or come into contact with your skin. Always follow the manufacturer’s 
safety instructions when handling lead-acid batteries. Ensure that the Universal Run / Stop switch is 
correctly wired as per these instructions and wiring schematics. Incorrect wiring may lead to a short 
circuit being placed across the batteries which can lead to fire or explosion. 
 
Please use common sense when installing and operating your turbine and associated equipment. 
 

Installation 

 
Please refer to electrical schematic  for appropriate generic wiring diagrams. If the  cables you are 
using  don’t  easily  fit  into  the  run  /  stop  switch  terminals,  the  cable  can  be  reduced  to  4mm2  or 
2.5mm2  before  entering  the  run  /  stop  switch.    The  cable  can  then  be  increased  again  to  its 
previous size after the switch and this will have a negligible effect on volt drop. 
 
The Universal Run / Stop Switch can either be mounted in the enclosure box (supplied), which  in 
turn can be mounted on an internal panel, or the switch can be integrated into an existing panel.  
If  the  unit  is  to  be  integrated  into  an  existing  panel,  a  suitable  cut-out,  as  detailed  on  the  wiring 
diagram will need to be made. 
 
Switch Wiring for LE-450 Turbine – please ensure all 12 screw terminals of the switch are screwed 
closed before finally placing the top cover on the switch:
