Fuses, Circuit Breakers, Ammeter - Primus Wind Power AIR 40 Owner's Manual

FUSES, CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND AMPMETER
AIR can produce high amperages. Protect your turbine with fuses or circuit
breakers. Wire with an appropriate size "slow-blow" fuse or circuit break-
er between AIR and the batteries. If a stop switch is used, the fuse or cir-
cuit breaker should be placed between the switch and the batteries.
Recommended Sizes for Circuit Breakers or Slow-Blow Fuses are detailed
on Technical Specifications page. Install in accordance with CEC and NEC.
Circuit Breakers are available from Primus Wind Power.
NOTE:
An optional ammeter (sometimes called an Amp Meter) is an excellent addition to any system. It allows you to monitor the instantaneous current
output of your turbine. IMPORTANT: Place it between your turbine and the battery on the positive lead.
NOTE:
Primus Wind Power Inc. offers a combination of the above in the "Wind Control Panel" (WCP), available in both analog and digital versions. These
products are designed with a compact surface mount panel and optional weather resistant enclosure. Th analog and digital control panels contain the stop
switch, circuit breaker and ammeter (Amp Meter). See Appendix C at the back of the owner's manual for further details.
