Wind Control Panel Connection Diagram
Notes:
1) Wire size is critical to the successful operation of the alternative
energy system. If greater wire lengths are needed, wire size
may have to be changed and sized to allow a maximum of 3%
voltage drop over the distance of the connection.
2) Locate the Wind Control Panel (WCP) in an area close to the
house battery bank but outside any high temperature areas. Do
not install in a tight battery compartment that houses vented wet
cell batteries. Must be in a dry compartment.
3) Do not run wind generator wires in bundles that contain SSB
radio antenna.
4) Always place STOP-RUN switch on the WCP in STOP position
prior to making connections to the WCP.
5) Battery connection is made last. Wind Circuit Breaker on the
WCP must be placed in the OFF position prior to making final
connections at the battery.
6) Crimp and butt splice connections are critical for proper system
operation. Use proper crimping tools and complete clean,
stripped wires when making these connections.
7) Wind generator is required to have a built in regulator (e.g. AIR
Wind Turbines) to prevent overcharging of batteries. If wind
generator is not equipped with a built-in-regulator, an external
shunt regulator (a diversion load controller) or similar should be
connected to the battery to prevent overcharging condition by
the wind generator.
