will automatically shut down and apply the braking system to your wind
turbine to prevent damage.

Caution 1 : Any under sizing of wire can be potentially dangerous; our
warranty doesn't cover damage caused by improper use of wire gauge.
Caution 2 : Please review the following wire gauge table to install the
correct wire gauge.
We recommend these as the minimum wire sizes for optimal
performance for the distance from your turbine to the battery.
Always use the largest gauge wires that are practical and affordable.
Local, state, and or national electrical codes take precedence over these
general recommendations.
