Wind Generator
Specification
S700 WIND GENERATOR Greatwatt 300W 12V

Part of the Wind Generator strain-relief. This attempts to even out the weight of the cable across all conductors and takes the strain off the crimp / solder connections. Cable ties at the bottom of the pole ensure that the amount of cable that needs supporting is no longer than the pole itself.

Description
Mounted on pole at aft port side. The cable travels through the pole into the port engine room. This is a 3-phase plus ground cable. It terminates on the Wind Generator / Solar Panel Controller (W1/W2/W3 and the ground to the casing).

Rear of the controller and the source connection terminals. Inputs are; Wind Generator 3 phase, Solar Panels, and Wind Generator ground (this to the controller casing). The switch is the brake; 1 -> brake on, 0 -> brake off.
Controller
This unit combines a charge controller for both the Wind Generator and the Solar Panels. It monitors supply from both inputs, and the charge state of the battery to determine which input source to use, and how much. It it located below the port house battery - screwed upside-down below the battery shelf. The single switch on the unit is the brake. When engaged, this shorts out the generator windings and any generated back-emf opposes blade rotation. Position 1 = engaged, 0 = off.
Charging Output
The output is connected directly across the port house battery.
Front of controller. Here are the output terminals - to the port house battery. Indicator lights display the state of the controller.
