Frequently Ask Questions - Bornay WIND 13+ Manual De Instalación

Frequently ask questions

1.- Can battery polarities be changed?
No, this would cause the regulator to break down.
2.- ¿How can I find out what energy the wind turbine is providing?
The energy can be known through the screen or with the specific
software of Bornay.
3.- Could the drilled holes in the blades be bad?
No, each wind turbine is assembled completely in production. If the drilled
holes do not match up, try turning the blades round the other way. Some
models have 3 and some have 5 holes drilled, and one of these is slightly off
centre in order to define correct blade installation.
4.- Will one of these wind turbines provide enough power for a home?
This kind of wind turbine is normally used together with other components to
form a complete installation. These components are usually:
 Solar panels: energy production.
 Solar regulators: to control battery charge from the solar panels.
 Batteries (accumulation of this energy): These installations are
normally designed to give three full days of independence, in other
words they can supply the installation for three days without sun or
wind. They use direct current.
 Wind regulator: This is included with the wind turbine and this is what
controls battery life. It ensures that battery voltage does not surpass
dangerous levels. At the same time, it will brake the machinery when
this does occur.
 Inverter/Charger: This is the equipment that transforms direct
current from batteries into alternating current for consumption
(230V).

Back-up generator: In remote installations, this is installed to
guarantee complete independent functioning of the installation.
