  • Page 3: Safety

    1. SAFETY Your wind turbine is designed with your safety as the priority. However, there are still some inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or mechanical equipment. Safety must be the primary concern as you plan the location, installation, and operation of the turbine. Please carefully read the following: Important Safety Instructions Carefully go through this manual before initiating the Wind turbine...

  • Page 4: Mechanical Hazard

    1.1 Mechanical Hazard Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The rotor blades are made of very strong thermoplastic and the blades may reach velocities over 15 m/s. At this speed, the tip of the blades are nearly invisible and can cause serious injury.
  • Page 5 B) Distance from human habitat. • Install your turbine with some distance from the human activity areas as not to disturb your neighbors and animals around. The noise and vibration element cannot be got rid of even if this wind turbine offers the lowest noise than any others on the market.

  • Page 13: Manual Stop Switch

    3.2 Manual Stop Switch The MPPT controller has an integrated battery controlled braking mechanism. Further to this protection, we have incorporated a secondary level of safety and convenience with a Manual 3-phase AC brake. Users can apply the manual brake using our Windmill Pro app, for more details check the Installation section.
  • Page 14 We strongly advise the activation of the Manual stop switch during any maintenance of or around your Turbine. This will prevent the blades from spinning and voltage to be transferred. Likewise, during initial installation please activate the Manual brake. In the final step in the installation of the Turbine, manual stop switch should be released.

  • Page 20 Step 5: Fasten the sleeve (M16) by using a wrench. Step 6: Put the cables through the pole. Install the Turbine to your chosen tower securely and fasten the bolts by using the 4mm hex key. The outside diameter of the iron pipe should be 48.3 mm, the thickness of the iron pipe should be 1.9 mm at least.
  • Page 21 Step 7: Put the nose cone to the hub. Apply pressure to the connections to ensure a secure fit. Fasten the nose cone with a hex screw (M5XL50) by using a 3mm hex key. Step 8: Tail Fin assembly. Connect the tail fin to the Turbine with 4 x hex screw (M5XL20), 4 x set screw (M8XL12), and 4 x spacers by using a 3mm hex key.
  • Page 22 Step 9: Final product diagram Note: The wind turbine pole stand is not included with the unit.
  • Page 23 Warning: Make sure that there is no flange/ coupler/ support cable ring within 1.7 m from the wind turbine center/ hub. Cylindrical shape poles are recommended and there should be sufficient free space between the pole and the blades as, during the wind gust, blades bend a little towards the inside.

  • Page 26: Maintenance

    7. MAINTENANCE Your wind turbine has been designed to run for long periods without requir- ing any maintenance. The performance will be enhanced if you periodically inspect your system. Review the following simple maintenance procedures and implement them every six months. Caution: Do not go near the wind turbine during operation.

  • Page 27: Faqs

    8. FAQS (1) How does the wind turbine control power and RPM in high winds? Your wind turbine’s operation will be halted to reduce the risk of damage due to overcharge and over-spin of the rotor blades. This process of braking is handled internally through your MPPT charge controller.
  • Page 28 (6) Where can I locate tubing to make a tower? Your wind turbine is designed to make mounting as simple and straightforward as possible. Should you not wish to purchase the custom tower kit feel free to utilize schedule 48.3 mm steel tubing. This should be available through your local hardware outlet.
  • Page 29 (9) Is lightning protection necessary? You should ground your wind turbine. Proper grounding (illustrated below) protects individuals to individuals and equipment by eliminating the possibility of dangerous voltage. Remember a steel tower is a conduit for lightning. Every wind turbine and turbine tower needs to be grounded at the tower base even though the system may be grounded at the battery bank.
  • Page 30 (10) What effect does radio interference have on my wind turbine? The internal circuitry of the wind turbine is shielded and filtered to prevent radio interference and has been tested to ensure electromagnetic com- patibility. (11) What effect does my wind turbine have on radio transmissions? The wind turbine normally does not affect radio transmitters.
  • Page 31 TROUBLESHOOTING You may require an extra person to assist with these tests. We strongly advise the activation of the Manual stop switch during any maintenance of or around your Turbine. This will prevent the blades from spinning and voltage to be transferred. (1) Remove the blade/hub from the turbine.

    APPENDIX A IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read these instructions below before installing your wind turbine to ensure people and property against accidents. Please also make sure it is set up under environmental and operating conditions. 1. Install the wind turbine in open and windy sites so, the turbine will be exposed to winds properly and the benefit can be maximized.
  • Page 36 Warning: Make sure that there is no flange/ coupler/ support cable ring within 1.7 m from the wind turbine center/ hub. Cylindrical shape poles are recommended and there should be sufficient free space between the pole and the blades as, during the wind gust, blades bend a little towards the inside.

  • Page 39: Appendix C Mppt Charge Controller

    APPENDIX C MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLER 1500W Digital MPPT Charge Controller An MPPT, or maximum power point tracker is an electronic AC to DC converter that optimizes the match between the turbine and the battery bank, DC motor, or DC pump. (These are usually called power trackers or MPPT’s for short. The power output of a wind turbine varies almost directly with the amount of wind - but the voltage and current do not.
  • Page 40 Wiring The three output wires from the wind turbine are Blue / Red / Black and transform three-phase AC. The three wires need to be connected to the “RST” terminal located on the back of the digital MPPT charge controller. (Three- phase power is a method of electric power transmission using three wires) .

  • Page 42 Suggested Battery Charger Set points: The battery manufacturer should provide you with specific instructions on the following maintenance and charging regulation set point limits for the specific batteries. The following information can be used when the manufacturer's information is not available. Note: Higher settings can be used with non- sealed batteries, but water consumption will be greater and excessive temperatures when charging may occur.
  • Page 43 Absorbing This stage limits the amount of power going to the battery -- the voltage is held constant. The absorb charge will continue for the duration of the bulk cycle or until the 2 hours (default) absorb time limit is reached. For example, if a bulk charge takes 1 hour to reach the absorb voltage set point then the absorb charge will continue for 1 hour as well.
  • Page 44 Wakeup As the turbine’s open circuit voltage (Voc) rises above the battery bank’s voltage by approximately 2 volts, the MPPT controller gets ready to work to deliver the best possible power to the batteries. During this period, the MPPT is calculating the PWM (Pulse-width modulation) duty cycles by turning on power supply voltages in the proper sequences, and making internal calibrations.
  • Page 45 and re-calibrate. This may sometimes happen because of negative current, i.e., current coming out of the input terminals instead of into the input terminals turbine breaker. A new voc is also acquired during a Re-Cal. TROUBLESHOOTING MPPT does not boot / power-up 1.
  • Page 46 3. What is the short circuit current of the wind turbine? Use a multimeter to determine if a short circuit current is as expected. There might be a loose / faulty wire connection. 4. Is the turbine’s voltage close to the battery voltage? If so, the panels could be warm/hot causing the Maximum Power Point of the array to be at or lower than the battery voltage.
