PWP Wind Control Panel Manual 2-ARAC-103
Pg.2/5
adequate room will be needed for the large wire sizes (#10 - #8) to be terminated on the terminal
block (TB-3). Using the template, cut the large opening and drill the six mounting holes.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION:
1) Wind Turbine: Connect the wires of the wind turbine (TB-3),
Negative (Black) to Terminal 2 and Positive (Red) to Terminal 1 of
the Control Panel using the appropriate wire size and crimps. The
Green (Ground) wire of the wind turbine should not be connected to
the boat grounding system but instead should be connected to the
Negative wire (Black) of the wind turbine prior to connecting to the
Control Panel Terminal 2. If the ground wire is directly connected to
the negative vessel buss or ground system, the wind turbine may not
operate properly.
Warning
ABYC STANDARDS AND PRACTICES should be followed
during the installation along with recommendations made in the
Air manual. This manual is made available to assist during
installation and start up and is not intended to supersede the ABYC
Standards or the other requirements and recommendations.
Caution
Interconnect wire sizing (wind turbine/input and battery bank/output), of the control panel is
critical to proper operation of the wind turbine. Consult a Wire Sizing Table to confirm the
minimum appropriate wire size for a voltage drop of less than 3%. A wiring sizing table is
available at www.primuswindpower.com under Wire & Cable section of the AIR manual.
2) Battery: Connect the battery feed wires to TB-3 Negative (Terminal 4) and Positive (Terminal
3) of the 12V battery bank to the control panel using the appropriate wire size and crimps. Be sure
these wires are not connected to the battery at this time.
3) Mounting: Mechanically install the panel into place using all six mounting holes.
4) Connection: Verify the POWER switch on the Control Panel is in the OFF position. Set the
STOP-RUN switch in the STOP position. Connect the battery feed wires from the Control Panel to
the battery bank terminals. Make sure all connections are tight and the wires are properly sized.
