    Zero voltage

    Apologies, but yes it did produce voltage at quit a low wind speed too, but right now I am putting this project aside to deal with a few other more important things...life off the grid lol. But I will repost when, I do look into it again which will be soon. Thanks to all who provided advice and...

    Zero voltage

    I am missing out on some nice 20mph wind right now lol

    Zero voltage

    I plan on some resistance checks tomorrow. Will post results

    Zero voltage

    No AC so no DC. I checked for AC before the controller

    Zero voltage

    Nothing man, and I can't see how that could have burned out

    Zero voltage

    That was my 1st move, got it spinning but that's when...zero voltage

    Zero voltage

    Just went through 5 days of rain so appx. 50.1v

    Zero voltage

    This is why my 1st post was simply asking if there would be a problem with such a setup. Maybe the size of the battery bank acting like a big resistor causing the turbine to brake???.

    Zero voltage

    No pics right now but I will add some soon, it was a simple connection, 3 phase leads into the controller, 2 to the battery with fuses and a disconnect on the hot line, oh and the dump resistor. When I turned everything on, I got some voltage but then the turbine started braking. Not from any...

    Zero voltage

    A question to all with experience in wind turbines. Not sure what happened with my turbine but I thought I would ask your opinion. So my experiment was with a tulip vertical 2K turbine. A 48v controller with 1.5K dump resistor. My battery bank consists of 4 (100ah) batteries, so just 20Kw. Is...

    Confirm my dumb moment...

    To all who offered assistance, thank you. I have decided it's best to go with a chargeverter. After some more searching around and hearing that these small generators are really not great for the all in one inverters. So my order is in, back order I should say. But that solves every problem...

    How many batteries

    Yes to both

    Confirm my dumb moment...

    I have been going back n forth with the settings on the inverter since u seem to have it dialed in can u send me a snap shot of ur settings and how many batteries r u running? Oh and what exactly am I adjusting with the time on the utility charging?
