1.2.4. Ingecon® μWind Interface (IWI)
As explained in the previous point, it is necessary in some circumstances to provide an external braking system and/
or an AC-DC conversion system. To fulfill this need, Ingeteam has included the Ingecon® μWind Interface unit in its
range of products.
The Ingecon® μWind Interface unit was designed to work in conjunction with Ingecon® μind converters in the control
and conversion of energy generated by the wind turbine.
The purpose of this unit is to perform the following functions:
• Convert from AC to DC, changing the AC voltage generated by the wind generator to DC for the Ingecon®
μind unit.
• Protect the system from excess rotational speed and overvoltage, as well as limiting power capture when the
generator is working in high wind speeds.
• Shut down the wind generator.
• Remotely control the installation and monitor additional variables of the wind power installation.
With its ability to convert AC to DC, the Ingecon® μWind Interface allows wind generators with a DC output to be
connected too. In this case the protection, monitoring and remote control functions will still be utilised.

2. System description
2.1. Location
Guidelines are provided in this section for choosing a suitable environment and adapting the unit to it properly.
2.1.1. Environment
Place the units in a place which is accessible for installation and maintenance work and which
permits use of the keyboard and the reading of the front indicator LEDs.
Never place any object on top of the unit.
The radiator can reach 85 °C. Do not place any material sensitive to the high surrounding air tempera-
tures close to the inverter.
2.1.2. IP rating
Ingecon® μWind units have an IP65 level of protection against external agents which enables them to be installed
outdoors.
IP65 means that the unit is fully protected against the ingress of dust and also against water jets from any direction
as defined for this level of protection in standard IEC60529.
However, excessive moisture can cause a safety shutdown of the unit to protect it. Hence the following is recommended:
Locate the units in a place protected from rain and avoiding corrosive atmospheres.
2.1.3. Ambient temperature
Ingecon® μWind units are designed to operate at between -20 °C and +70 °C.
To operate in HT mode, the maximum ambient temperature must not exceed 45 °C.
To operate in HP mode, the maximum ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C.
2.1.4. Atmospheric conditions
The ambient air must be clean and relative humidity must not exceed 50% at over 40 °C. Higher levels of relative
humidity, up to 95%, can be tolerated at below 30 °C.
It should be borne in mind that moderate condensation may occasionally occur as a consequence of temperature vari-
ations and, apart from the unit’s own protection, vigilance of these units is necessary once they have been started up
on sites where it is suspected that the conditions described above will not be present.
2.1.5. Contamination class
The pollution degree for which the units have been designed is level 3.
AAY2000IKI04 13
Installation manual Ingeteam Power Technology, S.A.

2.1.6. Acoustic contamination
When on, the inverter generates a slight buzzing sound.
Do not place it in an occupied room, or on light supports which might amplify this buzz. The mounting
surface must be firm and appropriate for the weight of the unit.
2.1.7. Ventilation
Ingecon® μWind TL Ingecon® μWind
A zone of 30 cm above the unit and 20 cm below and at the sides must be left free of obstacles. Only
in this way will the unit’s cooling system operate correctly.
The cooling system designed for the unit varies from one unit to another as greater heating occurs at higher power
and this requires greater air flow to cool it. This is why some models are cooled by means of natural convection and
others use forced convection with one or two fans.

In models with transformers, it is the transformer which will be secured to the wall. The inverter will subsequently be
fixed to the transformer.
The three upper drilled holes are made first. The measurements to be used are shown in the figure. The bottom hole
must be made when the unit is suspended, as explained in Section “5.2. Fixing the unit to the wall”. The figure shows
the approximate distances between the horizontal line formed by the three upper drilled holes and where the bottom
hole will be. It also shows the approximate vertical distance to the level of the top edge of the inverter, which will
subsequently be attached to the transformer fixed to the wall.

Never stack more than 20 TL units or more than 10 units with their transformers on a Europallet. In the case of units
with transformers, the transformers must be laid on the first two layers and half the third.
Transport damage
If the equipment has been damaged during transport:
1. Do not proceed with the installation.
2. Notify the distributor immediately within 5 days of receipt of the equipment.
If ultimately the unit has to be returned to the manufacturer, you must use the same original packaging.
Separating the packaging
All the packaging can be delivered to a non-hazardous waste management company.

Installation manualIngeteam Power Technology, S.A.

In any event, each part of the packaging may be recycled as follows:
• Plastic (polystyrene, bag and bubble wrap): Appropriate container (plastic and bottles).
• Cardboard: Appropriate container (paper and cardboard).
3.2. Handling
Correct handling of the units is vitally important in order to:
• Prevent damage to the packaging which enables them to be kept in optimum condition from shipping until
they are unpacked.
• Avoid knocks and/or falls which may harm their mechanical characteristics, e.g. cause incorrect closure of
the housing, loss of IP rating, etc.
• Avoid, as far as possible, vibrations which may cause subsequent malfunction.
If you observe any anomaly, please contact Ingeteam immediately.
3.3. Transport
Appropriate transport and storage of the unit are the necessary first steps for correct use and operation. Taking
Section “3.2. Handling” into account and as a preventive measure, Ingeteam recommends the use of transport
companies specialised in the transport of special and/or fragile equipment.
All units packaged according to Section “3.2. Handling” must be handled with tools to prevent damage to the
packaging.
The unit must be protected during transport and storage from mechanical knocks, vibrations, water splashes (rain)
and any other product or situation which may damage it or alter its behaviour.
Transport over distances of greater than 5 metres must be carried out using a pallet truck or forklift truck, whenever
possible.
Transport using a pallet truck
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1. Place the packaged units centred with respect to the forks.
2. Try to locate them as close as possible to the connection between the forks and the steering unit.
3. In all cases, observe the instructions in the pallet truck’s user manual.
Transport using a forklift truck
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1. Place the packaged units centred with respect to the forks.
2. Try to locate them as close as possible to the connection between the forks and the steering unit.
3. Ensure that the forks are perfectly level to avoid overturning the unit.
4. In any case, observe the instructions in the forklift truck’s user manual.
Once the unit has been transported to the place where it is to be located and only when it is to be installed, unpack
the unit.
Transport of the unpackaged unit
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1. Use the two side holes to grasp the unit with both hands.
2. Follow the necessary ergonomic advice for lifting weights. The unit weighs between 21 and 24 kg, depending
on its power.
3. Do not release the unit until it is perfectly secured or placed.
4. Ask someone else to guide the movements to be made.

3.4. Storage
If the unit is not installed immediately after receipt, the following points should be taken into account in order to
prevent damage:
• The package must be stored in the position in which the box arrived.
• Keep the unit free of dirt (dust, shavings, grease, etc.) and away from rodents.
• Keep away from water splashes, welding sparks, etc.
• Cover the unit with a breathable protective material in order to prevent condensation due to ambient humidity.
• Units in storage must not be subjected to climate conditions other than those indicated in Section “2.2.
Environmental characteristics”.
• It is very important to protect the unit from chemical products which can cause corrosion, as well as from
salty atmospheres.
3.5. Conservation
In order to permit correct conservation of the units, they must not be removed from their original packaging until it
is time to install them.
In case of prolonged storage, the use of dry places avoiding, as far as possible, sharp changes in temperature is
recommended.
Deterioration of the packaging (tears, holes, etc.) prevents the units from being kept in optimum conditions before
installation. Ingeteam Energy, S.A. accepts no liability for damage in the case of failing to observe this condition.
3.6. Waste handling
During the various processes for installation, start-up and maintenance, waste is generated which must be handled
appropriately according to the regulations in the corresponding country.
At the end of the unit’s life, the waste must be processed by an authorised waste management company.
Ingeteam, in accordance with its policy of respect for the environment, will inform the authorised manager, via this
Section, of the location of components to be decontaminated.
The elements within the unit that must be handled individually are:
1. Electrolytic condensers or condensers containing PCB
2. Batteries and accumulators
3. Printed circuit cards
4. Liquid crystal displays
