Installation; Bwc Excel Wind Turbine And Tower; Fused Disconnect Switch - Bergey Powersync II Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual
If the circuit breaker in your home or business load center (circuit breaker panel) trips, it
should be reset by first switching it to the OFF position and then to the ON position. If
the breaker trips again immediately, or if it continues to trip after brief periods of normal
operation, switch the breaker OFF and contact your Bergey dealer for assistance.
The following recommendations will help ensure the safe operation of the Powersync II
inverter:
1. Keep all sources of moisture away from the Powersync II enclosure.
2. Do not work near the Powersync II with gasoline, paint thinner, or any
material which produces flammable vapor. Do not store flammable materials
near the Powersynce II enclosure.
3. Do not open the Powersync II enclosure unless the circuit breaker and
Accessible Disconnect Switch (ADC) at the base of the tower have been
switched OFF. Note that even with the circuit breaker and ADC switched
OFF, a shock hazard will still be present inside the Powersync II
enclosure for approximately 15 minutes (as the capacitor voltage drains
down).
4. Do not block airflow around the Powersync II enclosure in any way. A six-
inch clearance must be maintained around the sides, top, and bottom of the
enclosure for adequate air circulation.

BWC EXCEL WIND TURBINE and TOWER

Please refer to the BWC EXCEL Installation Manual, and any addendum for the specific
tower design, for instructions on installing the wind turbine and tower.

FUSED DISCONNECT SWITCH

The electrical output of the wind turbine is a three-phase alternating current (AC). We
strongly recommend the installation of a fused three-phase AC disconnect switch
between the wind turbine and the Powersync II, as shown in the drawing on Page XXX.
This switch is commonly referred to as an Accessible Disconnect Switch (ADC) and
most utilities will require one to be installed. A 60A weather-tight switch box with 45A
