  • I know I ask a lot of questions, but I am just trying to learn. Can two 3-phase wind turbines be connected to this all-in-one charge controller? I was wondering if the electricity from one turbine would be pushed to the other wind turbine to make it spin. Is there any possibility of that happening? Would a blocking diode be needed with each 3-phase wind turbine, or is that only for DC wind turbines? Also, would the control switch turn off and on two or more wind turbines?

  • @BullittMcQueen1 Yes you can Bullitt.

  • Jeff, I see that you sell a package deal with this all-in-one charge controller and a 800-watt wind turbine. Would the resistors on this controller be enough for the 800-watt wind turbine, or would more resistors be needed? Or, could a person also connect to a 12-volt water heater and these two resistors to provide enough divert load for the 800-watt wind turbine?

  • @BullittMcQueen1 They should be. You can us a 12 volt water heater element instead.

  • hey could you gridtie with this system? by removing the dump load and putting in an gridtie inverter?

  • @mnelson6688  Yes you could.

  • @jeffmolly1 -- So blocking diodes would not be needed with two 3-phase wind turbines? Is there any chance of electricity back-feeding to a wind turbine? Does one control switch control two or more wind turbines? Thanks, Jeff.

  • I only wanted to know which wires go where from the turbine to the controller,but the whole video is good. A reasonable size turbine and a couple of 100 watt panels are enough for most homes. 20 amps at 12 volts is enough to run your home and keep your battery bank topped up. Most people get tricked into buying more panels than they need.

  • @BullittMcQueen1 turbine need to be under load. if you disconnect a turbine like a panel it will simply go into runaway and bad things happen normally turbine self destruction.

  • @jeffmolly1 -- Oh, okay. That's good to know.

    Maybe if every house had a wind turbine and a solar panel we wouldn't need to build power plants. It must feel good to be making products here in the United States and at the same time knowing you are helping the environment.
