They're good little units provided you protect them adequately with whole house surge protection on the AC side and limited DC amps (30A and up is the danger zone), which at around 60V means 1800W. I run mine with a max 1500W / 25A limit in the configuration with a few of them in parallel so none get too hot. Working well for a few years now.
Need your advice? What is a good win inverter to match up with a 4/5 kW generator on Tesup Windturbine. ??? Got a kick in the ass today from GroWatt, they wrote back from US service saying they’re inverter is incompatible with wind turbines. And this is the inverter that was supplied by Tesup, with the AtlasX
That's unfortunate...and a silly thing for TESUP to provide with their turbines. First thing I'd recommend is filing a complaint with your card carrier. That's what I had to do and in the end the charges were fully reversed. TESUP can go kick rocks. That said, though...there's always a way when you have enough will! What model GroWatt inverter is it? The Atlas 2.0 they sent me would probably operate at a high enough voltage to work with a lot of string inverters if you could regulate the fluctuations in the voltage. It is essentially how I'm running my setup, I'm using batteries as filters to control the voltage between my turbines and inverters. There might be a way, though GroWatt is probably not going to support it.
@@ToysforWatts So I’m looking to be direct grid tied… wind turbine,charge controller, grid inverter … The AtlasX is the other vertical turbine, 4kw gen. There power curve shows peak 5022@17 m/s. 38 kts.
@@ToysforWatts So I assume since the generator can put out 4/5K their power curve shows up the 5000 Watts . AM I’m safe to say I need a 6000 Watt inverter?
I don't know if it is suitable in your case but this is how my system works with a much smaller inverter and a 600W turbine: as soon as the turbine starts feeding some power to the buffering battery it will also wake up the inverter with a limited bias current that is not enough for actual power feed towards the grid but for synching to it only. In your system that would need another voltage controlled SSD and maybe some power resistor for limiting the current draw from the battery pack.
Good afternoon, is it possible to increase the blade size of the Heli 2000? I am thinking of using bigger blades during summer days and the normal blades in winter/ stormy times.
I'm currently running larger blades on my Heli than the stock options, I run them year round and they completely transformed the turbine. With the original 5-piece 107cm blades it had terrible startup speeds. I'm now running a 9ft rotor and starts up better and makes more power all the time.
Pls how can I use DC 0-100V 10A Voltage and current meter display to measure my Chinese Smaraad 1kw 48v wind turbine current? Pls send the wiring diagram. Tx.
Hi there, Love the channel - so informative. I'm looking for some advice. I recently got an old Ista Breeze 500w 12v Turbine. The build quality of them appear to be pretty good. Thanks to you, I didn't get conned by a Chinese cheap "mistake". I already have 2 good pieces of kit - a eSmart 3 MPPT Controller (60A supporting 12v, 24v, 36v or 48v) and like you, a GTIL2 (22v-65v). I was planning on connecting a 12v battery to the eSmart 3 in order to get the low level output from the Ista Breeze. But of course, I cannot connect the Load port of the eSmart 3 to the GTIL2 because the voltage will be too low. Should I just get some 12v to 24v converter, or should I approach this all in a different way ?
@@garys-half-baked-offgrid-dream I had them spread on two 20 amp Breakers I assume this bike came through the power line so I needed to have some kind of surge protector in between or a whole house surge protector areas in the country can have very dirty power like we do It shuts down for hours and when it comes back it comes on with a spike I have ruined for grid-tie inverters and a metal halide ballast that's why I want to be completely off the grid That and that I can use $100 of electricity in a month and they charged me $200

Yes, the 45-90v model has a continuous rating of only 1800W max.
I noticed they released a new solar one 60-110v with 1950W continous.

Mine was wired to a circuit breaker when our power came back on in the neighborhood it blew up that machine
$650 😪
That's how I was going to do mine 😱. What size breaker did you have?
@@garys-half-baked-offgrid-dream I had them spread on two 20 amp Breakers

Just happened to my Gtl2 1000w
Trying to figure out what surge protector to get now
My wind turbines do really good in the summer even in 5 mph wind
You ever run across a wind controller semi braking the turbine, as soon as the third leg of the wild AC is hooked up ?
What turbines do you have? Also how much power do you get in 5 mph?
