Fig. 11. Multiple AIR wind turbine wiring
Multiple AIR wind turbine wiring
Method One:
Each AIR wind turbine is
treated separately. Each tur-
bine has its own wires, stop
switch and fuse and con-
nects directly to the
battery. This configuration
uses the internal regulator
to control
charging.
Method Two:
Wire each turbine to a “bus”
and then run one set of
wires from the bus to the
battery. Each turbine’s inter-
nal regulator or an external
diversion type regulator may
be utilized. A “bus” system
typically results in reduced
wire costs.
It is possible to wire multiple
AIR wind turbines together. A
typical multi-turbine system is
depicted in Fig. 11.
There are two methods used
to accomplish this task.
WARNING: If additional sources
are connected to the same
battery bank, it is necessary to
increase battery bank size.
