9. Considerations When Choosing
Peripheral Materials/Devices
Batteries
Zephyr Corporation recommends the use of a deep cycle battery (AGM) for all off-grid applications to
handle the deep charge/discharge cycles in the wind turbine system. (A car battery cannot be used
for repeated deep charge/discharge.)
Connect four 1VDC batteries in a series circuit to attain 48VDC performance.
Recommended battery specifications:
Off-grid : Deep cycle lead acid battery, 500Ah or more
Mounting Tower
The mounting Tower that supports the Airdolphin is an extremely important part with respect to safety.
We recommend that all locations to which equipment will be attached as well as the foundation mast
are strong enough to provide adequate safety.
• Location and height of the mounting tower : Select free and safe location where the ample amount of wind
flow is obtained. The height of the pole must be 3.5m or more to ensure safety from hazard to people.
• The tower must have an upper portion of at least 100mm in length and an outer diameter of 48.6mm. The
total tower height must be of sufficient height to prevent accidental with body or structures.
• The tower must withstand horizontal wind pressure of 105kgf /31lbf(at a wind speed of 65m/s,145.3mph)
• You should consult with your local dealer or Zephyr Corporation for details.
Cables
A considerable amount of current flows through the cables and devices (batteries, use inverter etc)
connected to the Airdolphin (Z-1000). Use cables specified by Zephyr Corporation or manufactured
them to recommended specifications.
• Wire Diameter Sizes
To select the appropriate size wires, measure the distance between the turbine and the batteries. Make sure
you include the height of the tower and refer to the following wire size chart.
Distance between Airdolphin and Batteries Cable diameter
7m (.96 ft)
5.5 mm
15m (49.1 ft)
8.0 mm
* Cable quality and electricity transfer rate vary in accordance with turbine quantity.
* A multitude of cables with different specifications is also available. For details, contact the dealer where you
purchased the Airdolphin (Z-1000) or Zephyr Corporation.
