    Great vid, good advise, took Rentech/i700 and wet and dry shaft terminals, no more scweching which is tiny vibrations, catching every amp now, Thanks

      yes!

      Its ITS! alive! so great just the 300w adjustable stand to go from north to west, not going to be adjusting it every other day to catch every alternate gusts, just when i see a week of easterlys.

    I got my the Rentech/i700 up and ready on the mast 72 v for a few seconds ? brushes. I would change all brushes and keep two spare, then you will have three worn brushes and a spare, if the same issue accures

      yep, your ista is a high voltage one, thin wire inside the gen leads to more coilturns and results in a higher voltage induced by the magnet field.
      I assembled it as it is, just to have it assembled and check if the issue was fixed. I'll wait for the brushes now, and then will ultimately decide which to use.
      small addition as that was not mentioned in the video - it's better to use the copper-carbon brushes, not the pure carbon.

      @ModernUkrainianHomestead Theirs probably no gain either way, i just think all brand new brushes would last longer than used, saveing more maintenance time. Volts for a few seconds then the amps start generatornig then it disconnects, so 300w up now and its rattling like a broken record, bearing swop with the old burnt out rentek generator me thinks.

      check the slip ring - those are the first things to fail in Ista's

      @ModernUkrainianHomestead Its the Rentech/i700, Ive made a Frankenstien wind turbine, brought the renteck back from the died. I should have wet and dryed the rings on the brushes or lift it and it might of got worn in the copper shaft.

      Ah, so it's a Frankenstein... Well, then no one aside of its creator knows what's inside and where the issue may be.

    Check the LHCM2-48V 2000W wind controller if you did not buy one yet. I have it myself and it works very well. Boock and boost, starts charging at 6V if you program it this way, rpm limitation, amps limitation, volts limitation. Flotating function, battery disconnexion, wind turbine disconexion and more. All parameters adjustable. I am super happy with it

    • @ModernUkrainianHomestead

      really boosts starting at 6V?
      that's impressive!
      however, from what I know - they have different versions, and in general you get a standard one and a sophisticated one, those differ in price like twice. how much was yours?

      True. Mine was very expensive but it is worth it, believe me. When you dismout it, the inside looks like a nasa rocket. There are lots of components that I never saw before inside a wind controller. Mine cost 480€ door to door arround 4 or 5 months ago. The seller was Elege new energy. Quite nice people. It was the cheappest seller back then. It tells you the battery banck temperature as well. The only think I miss is that has no bms port to connect with lithium batteries, but aniway. The bateries have double bms so I am safe, and in the morning the sollar controller takes controll and adjust volts between batteries if needed

      Yes, I just checked in with my supplier and boost&buck version of LHCM controllers is optional. In about 2 months I'll have the other WWS30-48 controller delivered to me together with the 96V M8 turbine, I'll definitely give it a decent review.

      also, just checked again, there are two versions of this controller: LHCN - which is PWM one, and LHCM - which is MPPT one. pricewise, MPPT version is like 30% more expensive roughly. I'm trying to figure out what is the exact functionality difference.

      Ask them the specifications of both of them so youll compare and decide
