4 FAQs about 12v wind power rectifier system

How do I choose a wind turbine rectifier?

Must be fully water proof As the rectifier is mounted at the top of the wind turbine tower. The first thing to choose is the current rating of the rectifier. It is assumed here that the system voltage has already been decided upon (see 'Wind Turbine Electrical System Design Guide' for more details).

What is a rectifier in a wind turbine?

The rectifier is comprised of a number of diodes. A diode is a device which only allows current to flow one way through the device. The direction the current can flow is indicated by the direction of the 'arrow' on the electrical symbol. The following design is for the 1kW wind turbine design, which has a three-phase (three wires) stator output.

How many watts can a 12V wind turbine handle?

As an example, for a system voltage of 12V the maximum current is 1000W / 12V = 83A. This leads to a power loss within each diode pair of 67W, giving a maximum total heat dissipation in the rectifier of around 200W. To dissipate this heat, a heatsink is required and the unit is mounted at the top of the wind turbine tower.

Can I connect two wind turbines to a controller?

Pre-wired for Plug and Play with: This controller is ideal for connecting two wind turbines or one dual-core turbine. Create the most power with a hybrid system and easily connect solar panels. Designed, assembled, and quality-checked in Missouri, USA using global parts. Please note: This controller is not compatible with lithium batteries.
