2. Wind Turbine Assembly Installation on site is simple, mainly including mounting blades on the hub, securing the hub to the turbine body, installing the nosecone on the blade hub and mounting wind turbine on the pole. Please install the whole turbine in accordance with the following instructions. Mounting Blades on The Hub ①Check if all components are in good condition.
2.2 Generator and Tail Vane Assembly ① wind generator main body ② remove the dustproof pad ③ the tail vane and accessories ④ waterproof pad between tail and generator, ⑤tighten the nut to 18N.m ⑥Complete connection use M8 bolts to fix the tail vane.
2.3 Connecting lead wires to Wind Generator ① wind generator main body ② Unscrew cable cover. ③ Pass the wires through the cover. ④Connect the three-phase lead wires into ⑤ Screw up the cable cover. ⑥Screw up the waterproof cover. the terminals (make sure three phases are not short circuited)
Mounting Turbines on The Pole ①Pass the cable through from the pole ②Connect the turbine to the pole by hex bolts. ③ lace flat washer, spring washer and nut, tighten the nut to 60N.m 2.5 Hub/Blades and Generator Assembly ① The nosecone and accessories. ②Place the hub with blades onto the rotor shaft ③...

④ Insert the cotter into the shaft bore and ⑤ Snap the nosecone into position over the outside ⑥ Completed assembly. separate the tails as shown. edges of the blade hub. Make sure all five edges of the nosecone snap over the edge of the blade hub. After installation tug on the nosecone to make sure it is securely attached and turn the blades to make sure it is not rubbing against the front cover of the generator.
3 Tower Installation 3.1 Siting An ideal location for wind generator is required with stable speed and direction of prevailing wind. Small changes in wind speed and direction can have a dramatic effect on power production. In general, the higher the tower, the greater the wind speed and ultimately power production are. Therefore, the site of your wind turbine should be carefully considered.
WARNING: Even if installing the turbine in a less windy location, the three-phase wires must be short circuited during installation to prevent the turbine from turning. 3.2 Design Requirements The tower has a direct effect on the safety of the wind turbine. HYE offers some tower choices for HY series wind turbine. The following section provides a summary of the available towers.

Special installation 1: pitched rooftop Explanations: 1. This installation is workable for pitched rooftop house. 2. This wall-mounted installation is used expansion bolt to fix the supporting structure. 3. The wall should be concrete or solid wall. 4. Try to install the turbine in an upwind direction position. 5.

Special installation 2: flat roof top Explanations: 1.This installation is workable for flat roof top. 2.The wall or ground of rooftop should be concrete or solid wall. 3.These two installations could be both used expansion bolt to fix the supporting structure. Dimension requirement: Distance from rotor centre to roof top ≥...
To determine the wire size, measuring the distance from the batteries to wind turbine is necessary, be sure to include height of the tower. Refer to the appropriate chart for your system voltage and select the wire size. The following wire sizes provide maximum annual energy losses of 3% for most sites. HY-1500/48V system Distance from wind generator 0—10m 11—20m...
5.1.2 Wind Turbine Insensitive to Adjust Rotor Direction 1) HYE wind turbine mainly adopts tail yawing to adjust the blades direction, if it is not sensitive to adjust blades direction, reasons may be: the turbine alternator shaft is damaged, or the tower is out of plumb.
Page 24
5.1.3 Rotation seed Dramatically Decreases Wind turbine rotation speed dramatically decreases under heavy wind condition, which can be mainly divided into normal deceleration and abnormal deceleration: 1) Turbine normal deceleration is due to wind turbine over-speed protection, for example, dump load, electromagnetic braking and blades aerodynamic braking.
5.2 System Troubleshooting 5.2.1 Off-grid wind and solar hybrid system 5.2.1.1 Solar Output Voltage Too Low or No Output 1) Check whether solar panel lead is short circuit, circuit break, open circuit or not. 2) Check whether solar panel is damaged or accumulated too much dust, etc. 5.2.1.2 Abnormal charging Wind turbine does not charge battery is mainly caused by: 1) Wind speed is too low to reach cut in point.
Page 26
5.2.2 Grid-tied Wind Turbine System 5.2.2.1 No power feed into grid 1) wind speed is too low, wind turbine still haven’t reach it’s cut-in wind speed, so no current generated in less than 2.5m/s wind speed. 2) Wind speed is too high, wind turbine output voltage reach the over-voltage point, controller short-circuit braking system protect the wind turbine and the whole system, the system will restore automatically when the wind speed decrease.
6. Maintenance Although your high reliability of HY wind turbine has been designed to run for 15 years without any maintenance, reliability and performance will be enhanced if you periodically inspect your system. IMPORTANT: It is suggested that putting down the pole and making wind turbine short circuit before some extremely bad weather, such as typhoon, in case of some unpredictable accidents happen.
Installation Specification of Small Wind Turbine Generator System Our HYE wind turbine belongs to Class III in accordance with wind turbine international grade, please refer to following chart, In order to be compatible with extreme load of international safety standard, while calculation of the load, the...

So this is why the survival wind speed of HYE wind turbine is 50m/s. Generally speaking, the safety and operation of wind turbine is closely related with matching components, correct pole installation, correct system cable connection, these three factors we could control and we have to do them well, However, wind turbines are installed outdoors, it is also close with natural...
