even though the system may be grounded at the battery bank. Grounding the tower at its base
may help prevent shocks to persons touching the tower due to lightning or electrical faults.
Please take the time to review the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local
building and zoning regulations for complete requirements. Even in “Off Grid Systems”
There are multiple ways for tower grounding., The most common method is a copper clad steel
electrode(s) driven into the soil. Please view the following grounding diagram.
What effect does radio interference have on my 600 Watt Wind Turbine?
The internal circuitry of the 600 Watt Wind Turbine is shielded and filtered to prevent radio
interference, and has been tested to insure electro-magnetic compatibility.
What effect does my 600 Watt Wind Turbine have on radio transmissions?
The 600 Watt Wind Turbine normally does not affect radio transmitters. Care should be taken,
however, to route power lines from the 600 Watt Wind Turbine away from the power and antenna
lines of a radio transmitter. An old ham radio operator’s trick is to twist positive and negative
wires together to provide an even distribution of EMF noise across both wires, which serves to
cancel out the electrical noise created. This technique can be used on the 600 Watt Wind
Turbine power lines, on the radio’s power lines, and on transmission wires. Transmission lines
