I put together the parts for my hybrid solar/wind system a while back. Now I have been going over things. My wind power is a 48v three-wire system, but the manufacturer says to be prepared to handle a possible 225v. I admit this is probably in a hurricane. But I planned on hooking the wind gen to a 20A resettable circuit breaker. As recommended by the wind gen maker. Through the rectifier to the batteries, BYD 200AH 48v setup using two 24v batteries. Then to my c-40 controller used as a diversion controller. My plan is for two 1000 watt/48 volt water heater elements to heat water as the diversion load. Installed in series so one backs up the other. c40 info says 125v max open circuit.
In my mind, I see a big wind spike and wonder if my c40 will melt or pass the voltage to the WH elements? https://www.ebay.com/itm/WIND-TURBINE-GENERATOR-1200-WATT-11-blade-MEAN-GREEN-LO
Thoughts on this? and yes, I guess I will find out about how well a wind gen works. I have steady wind where I plan on using this.
