650 W 12 V AC Wind Turbine Generator + 12 Wind & Solar Charge

Description: Apollo 650W AC 12V Wind Turbine + SolarWind Hybrid RX Charge Controller for Land or Marine Use Product designed in Canada Package Includes: Wind turbine Generator, Nose Cone, 6 pieces of blades, Hub, all screw & bolts One SolarWind Hybrid RX Charge Controller Certification: CE, RoHS and ISO 9001:2000 Connection Overview: The Wind Generator is connected to the charge controller, which changes the Alternative Current output by the generator to Direct Current (AC to DC). Electricity generated by the wind turbine are then stored to batteries. Note: the Batteries above are not included. If your home or farm is connected to the power grid, on windier days you may be able to sell excess power generated by your wind turbine to your utility. At other times when the turbine cannot generate all the power you need, you would buy power from the grid. This concept is called net metering. Even if net metering is unavailable, you might be able to reduce your power bills by using the electricity generated by wind turbines, and become less dependent on your utility. What is a SolarWind Hybrid RX Charge Controller? GreenergyStar SolarWind Hybrid RX is he most advanced charge controller in the market today. Unlike other hybrid controllers, this multipurpose device is designed to work with Southwest Windpower's Air-X, 403, and 303 plus other 12V AC/DC turbines and solar panels. The SolarWind Hybrid RX has utilized microprocessor based control electronics, sophisticated monitoring software, high quality finned aluminum casing and an intuitive LED display design. It is designed to work with the GreenergyStar branded grid-tie inverters to send renewable energy generated by Air-X, 12V AC/DC Turbine and solar panels back to the grid in a stable, controlled and safe manner. The following list will summarize its major features: Features: Hybrid system designed to work with Southwest Windpower's Air-X, 403, and 303 plus other 12V AC/DC turbines and 12V solar panels Compatible with GreenergyStar branded grid-tie inverters Maximum power: 1500W (rated at 54V & 30.0A) System Voltage: 12V Nominal (see input / output sections for range) Microprocessor based control electronics to control charging, outputs and dump load Dump load utilize Pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching technology to recover power during high wind periods Manual Braking switch to isolate wind turbine from the system. Intuitive LED Display to reflect system status Keeps battery in an optimum charged state Prevents overcharge and over-discharge Internal diode to prevent reverse current to solar panels or wind turbine at night High quality finned aluminum casing to protect the interior and dissipate heat Installation Reference - not to scale (No inverter, batteries, turbines and solar panels included in this listing) Input Features: Operating voltage & current on all terminals: 23V ~ 54V, 0A ~ 27.5A Maximum input voltage & current on all terminals: 60V , 30A Withstand voltage: 65V (anything above will damage controller) Stand-by power consumption: 0.1W AC Turbine: For 3 phase AC turbine. The 3 wires from AC turbine can be connected to the terminals in no specific order. Built in rectifier will convert AC to DC. DC Turbines can also be connected here as the rectifier accepts DC input as well. The TURBINE LED will turn Green when there is an active input source. Solar: The SOLAR LED will turn Green when there is an active input source. DC Turbine: Recommend for Air-X since this terminal has the Stay Online feature. The TURBINE LED will not turn on since the Air-X has its own (red) charging LED. The Blue CHARGE LED will turn on when there is power coming in from the inputs. Input Protection & Specification: Manual Turbine lock to force dump load to turn on Pulse Width Modulated Dump Load Stay-Online Feature to keep Air-X up and running in low battery condition Reverse Polarity Protection Night Time Reverse current protection to prevent current going into wind turbine and solar panels Over current Protection (40A Fuse) Efficiency: Maximum 98%+ Output Features: Operating output current: 27.5A Total maximum output current: 30A Maximum current on individual output: 10A Voltage tolerance: +/- 5% Maximum Output Power: 1500W (rated at 54V & 27.5A) Output starts when inputs are above 25V The OUTPUT A, B, C LED will turn Orange with respect to each output. Charging Features: Battery is an input and an output at the same time The CHARGE LED will turn Blue indicating battery is being charged Overcharge protection Cut off voltage: 30V Over-discharge protection Cut off voltage: 22.8V Recommend using deep cycle batteries if possible Normal lead acid batteries are acceptable as well 3 charging modes: Continuous charging, Pulsing, Trickiling. Power Supply Modes: Mode 1 - Power Supply When input voltages are lower than the battery's voltage, the battery will act as a supply to all outputs. Power to all outputs will be cut when the battery has drop down to 22.8V Mode 2 - Stay Online (for Air-X only) When battery voltage is below 22.8V and input voltages is under 9V, even though all outputs will be cut, the charge controller will still send electrical pulse to the DC input terminal every 5 - 10 seconds as indicated by the pulsing Red AX SIGNAL LED. This is necessary for Air-X's internal controller to stay on. Since the Air-X will not wake up on its own, without these pulses, even if wind starts blowing the Air-X will free spin and no power will be generated. Warning: Controller will get damaged if polarity of battery is incorrect Protection Features: Dump Load MUST be connected at all time to protect the charge controller, no dump load = no warranty Requires a minimum of 5Ohm 600W resistive load to be connected to the dump load terminal Dump load activates when AC Turbine is >= 54V Unlike conventional dump loads that short circuit on activation and drop outputs to zero, the SolarWind Hybrid RX utilizes Pulse-width modulation (PDM) switching technology to only dump what is necessary and conserve the rest. (refer to Figure above) Activating dump load will slow down the AC turbine and reduce voltage spikes. Over voltage protection: All outputs will be cut when input voltage is over 60V. However dump load will stay on. The DUMMY LED will turn Red when the dump load has been activated Manual Turbine Lock (Brake) Manual Turbine Lock is used to force dump load to fully turn on (ie: short circuit) Useful when it is necessary to isolate AC wind turbine from the system (ie: during installation or maintenance) Turbine lock is the red switch at the top-left corner of the Output Face (refer to Figure 1 on page 6) " | " - locks turbine " 0 " - unlocks turbine Mechanical Specifications: Operating temperature range -25'C - 85'C Weight 952g 2.1lb Dimension (L x W x H) 19.3 x 13.1 x 6.9 cm 7.5" x 5.2" x 2.7" Mounting Wall Mount at base Cooling Convection cooled with fan (activate around 50'C ~ 60'C) Casing High quality finned aluminum to act as heat sink for fast heat dissipation Apollo Wind Generator Over the last few decades renewable energy has started to gain its ground. Of all the different kinds of alternative energy sources available, the use of wind power has been growing steadily. However, wind turbines that are available for homeowners in the market today are mostly designed (or copied) a decade ago and although they work, most have mechanical flaws that were neglected since their debut and there is a lot of room for improvements. With that in mind, we have redesigned a new wind turbine - the Apollo. Built-in with a stronger alternator for higher power output, Anti-vibration system to increase power efficiency, and the ability to be customized and upgraded for the future. Exploded View (No inverter, batteries, turbines and solar panels included in this listing) What is the difference in an Apollo Wind Turbine? GreenergyStar's Apollo Wind Turbine is the most mechanically advanced generator in the market today. It features many upgrades that solves performance issues that our competitors struggle with. It is designed to work with other GreenergyStar branded products such as the SolarWind Hybrid RX charge controller and grid tie inverters to better utilize the renewable energy generated. The following list will summarize its major features: I.

Nylon is a man made product. On the man made side, you will see primarily three types of thermoplastic. These are polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. Of the three types, nylon is by far the better choice. Nylon is extremely versatile in its applications. It is highly resistant to abrasion and has excellent resilience. Within nylon, there are two groups: nylon 6 and nylon 6.6. Nylon 6.6 is the premium thermoplastic. It is the thermoplastic that is most often specified by professional architects and designers because it provides the flexural strength, low-temperature toughness, UV Resistance and is the most resilient. Nylon 6.6 performs well in many applications such as wind turbine blades, automotive parts, and other fields that get a lot of wear and tear. Nylon 6.6 has additional molecules that give extra strength and the resilience compared to nylon 6. If you still have no idea what Nylon 6.6 is, do a search on google.
