RFI from Air-X Wind Gen
I have a new Air-X Marine wind generator installed aboard a sailboat. The
unit is mounted on a ten foot pole and is wired as per the instruction manual directly to the 630 amp hour battery bank. All works great. the wind generator is putting out plenty of charge, however, the RFI/EMI picked up by the SSB radio, (Icom M-802) is extreme. The RFI noise is across all bands and makes the radio unusable. I can shut off the Air-X with the optional switch but I was wondering if anyone can confirm that this is a common experience with other owners of the Air-X Marine wind generator. If so, I will not look further for a solution. If I am the only one with this problem than I can assume the RFI is a result of some defect in the electronics. One Note: the backstay antenna is about five feet away from the wind generator. Thanks. |
