Fig. 11. Multiple AIR wind turbine wiring
Multiple AIR wind turbine wiring
Method One: (Fig. 11)
Each AIR wind turbine is
treated separately. Each
turbine has its own wires,
stop switch and fuse and
connects directly to the
battery. This configuration
uses the internal regulator
to control
charging.
Method Two:
Wire each turbine to a
“bus” and then run one set
of wires from the bus to
the battery. Each turbine’s
internal regulator or an
external diversion type
regulator may be utilized. A
“bus” system typically results
in reduced wire costs.
It is possible to wire multiple
AIR wind turbines together.
A typical multi-turbine
system is depicted in Fig. 11.
There are two methods used
to accomplish this task.
WARNING: If additional sources
are connected to the same
battery bank, it is necessary to
increase battery bank size.
