Default need instructions to build a stop switch for a wind generator

To stop the wind generator, you will need to short circuit its output
terminals, which serves to load the generator and prevent it from
spinning.
There are IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
If the wind generator is short circuited while connected to the
battery bank then the battery bank will be short circuited with
cathastrophic consequences.
Accordingly a mechanical interlock between the windgenerator
isolation switch and the wind generator short circuiting switch is
essential..
Search the West marine catalog for battery isolation switches, which
use detachable keys, which are locked in position while live and are
removeable while dead. Buy two isolators and throw away one of the
keys so that only one switch can be active.
One switch will connect the wind gen to the batteries, while the other
will be connected accross the wind gen output terminals and the single
key will safely do the switching
