Frequently Asked Questions
1) What happens if I lose power from my utility company?
If there is a power outage the Skystream will shut down within one second. It will resume normal
operation when power is restored. There are many safety requirements of a utility-tied inverter. The
Skystream meets all of these requirements per UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 and appropriate European
Regulations.
2) Does Skystream have lightning protection ?
Yes, Skystream has lightning protection. Skystream can withstand 6000 volts as required by UL
1741, IEEE 1547 and appropriate European Regulations. However, if you live in a lightning prone
area, XZERES Wind recommends an
additional lightning arrestor at the base of the tower.”
3) When should I contact an authorized service technician?
a)
If “Growling” noise is detected turn Skystream “OFF” and contact Technical service.
b)
If frequent “shut-downs” are observed.
c) Unusual noises or vibrations are observed. Use caution. If in doubt turn
Skystream “OFF” and
contact Technical service.
d) Circuit breaker and switches are t
urned “ON” and Skystream is not turning in response to wind.
4)
What should I do if I’m expecting a severe storm?
The Skystream is designed for very high winds, but it is always a good idea to shut Skystream
down if there is going to be a severe storm to protect against any flying debris.
5) How do I shut down Skystream?
Manual shutdown of the turbine is possible by using Circuit breaker that is between the turbine and
the grid. Whenever the turbine looses the grid, it shuts down immediately. This will cause NO
damage to the unit.
6) Can I leave Skystream unattended?
Yes, the Skystream is designed to operate without any user input. If there is any fault, it will shut
down on its own.
7) What do I do if Skystream is facing upwind even though there is a strong wind?
If the Skystream is not tracking correctly, you should check to see if the tower is level.
8) Can I mount Skystream to my roof?
Roof and building mount is not recommended. Because of the size and weight of the wind
generator, Skystream needs to be mounted on a PE certified tower to ensure the quietest and
safest system. Roof mounting will invalidate the warranty.
9) What should I do if ice forms on Skystream blades?
To avoid the possibility of injury from ice breaking loose from the blades and injuring anyone,
Skystream should be turned OFF if ice accumulates on the blades.
