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 On Jan 27, 2:30 pm, Joe canada wrote: |
