13.4 Troubleshooting
Q. The Superwind 350 is not producing power.
A.
A common installation oversight preventing power production is related to
the safety-stop switch. Ensure all screws on the safety-stop switch are
tightened down securely – even the screws that are not in use. Loose
screws can prevent a closed circuit, and deny power throughout the
system. Refer to the manual for specific stop-switch procedures, if
necessary. Again, two of the screws with no wire attached are actually
forming a jumper within the switch; ensure they are tight.
Q. How can I test to ensure the Superwind unit is producing power?
A.
A clamp-on DC amp meter is an inexpensive tool that can be used to test
the power output from the unit. Make sure the amp meter that you
purchase is capable of reading DC amps.
If the batteries are fully charged and the unit is still working in efficient
wind, the charge controller will display an indicator light. When lit, a solid
LED light represents a full state of charge and indicates power is being
diverted to the resistor.
The use of calibrated shunts – when in combination with other charging
sources - is NOT recommended for monitoring power output from the
wind turbine. Calibrated shunts often negatively affect the charge
controller, causing significantly reduced charging and incorrect readings.
An amp coil sensor (often an option with many battery monitoring
systems) is recommended instead.
Q. The Superwind 350 is not producing the expected power
A.
The Superwind 350 turbine has extremely high quality bearing sets to
allow for a long, nearly maintenance free, service life. These special
bearings do require some weeks or months of a “break in period” to
achieve the highest charging levels at lower wind speed conditions.
Leaving the Superwind turbine in the autonomous “Run” position through
all types of weather, including high winds and storms, will help shorten
this break in period.
