SUPERWIND 350/48V GENERATOR ASSEMBLY
7.1 Precautions
Please read this manual in its entirety prior to installing your Superwind 350/48V and
note all recommended safety precautions to be followed during installation. Ensure the
mast and support structure is capable of safely handling the loads of your wind
generator. The mast not only has to withstand the weight of the wind generator and its
mass moment of inertia (i.e. when installed on a yacht) but also the thrust generated
by high wind speed. For example, the maximum wind thrust during normal operating
parameters will be approximately 70 N of force, however in an extreme gust (wind
speed of 49 m/s [95.24 Kn]) the thrust can rise up to 220 N!
Conduct work on the mast or wind generator on a calm,
windless day
Do not step or allow others to stand beneath hanging loads
(e.g. a tilted mast).
Disconnect all batteries from the system prior to conducting
any work.
Never approach a turning rotor – Stay away from moving
blades!
Never try to stop a turning rotor by hand.
Never secure the wind turbine by tying off a blade to the
mast. This will damage or distort the aerodynamic design
of the blade and affect the performance of the turbine.
Never install the wind generator in a location where persons
can accidentally come into contact with rotating blades.
7.1.1 Short-Circuit
TO PREVENT THE GENERATOR FROM
STARTING UNINTENTIONALLY (PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION OF THE STOP SWITCH)
“SHORT-CIRCUIT” THE GENERATOR BY
CONNECTING THE TWO GENERATOR
WIRES TOGETHER AS SHOWN IN FIG.
7.1.1
DISCONNECT ALL BATTERIES OR BATTERY BANKS
BEFORE SHORT-CIRCUITING THE TWO GENERATOR
WIRES!
