Frenquently asked questions
1.- Can battery polarities be changed?
No, this would cause the regulator to break down.
2.- ¿Is the polarity of the wind turbine cables important?
No, the base connection cable of the wind turbine is an alternating three-
phase type, so these can be connected in any order.
3.- Can the battery be disconnected with the wind turbine running?
Under no circumstances, since this action could cause irreparable damage
to the regulator.
4.- ¿Can the regulator cause the batteries to lose their charge?
This is impossible due to the construction of the regulator.
If it occurs, check your installation because there must be an element that
is discharging the batteries.
5.- The voltage measured by the regulator does not match with the battery level
read by other equipment.
Each manufacturer or even each different apparatus uses different
components, and for reasons of cost these are often not calibrated.
Variations can exist between different equipment, although it is made by
the same manufacturer.
6.- ¿How can I find out what energy the wind turbine is providing?
You simply need to multiply the voltage value and the current (in amps)
shown on the regulator screen.
Energy (W) = Voltage (V) x Amps (A).
7.- ¿What is the power consumption of the regulator?
The power consumed by the regulator is miniscule compared to the power
of the wind turbine and the batteries, and is in the order of milliamps.
8.- ¿How do you know if the wind turbine is providing charge to the batteries?
This shows on the regulator screen that indicates the charge current.
