One ---- Wind Turbine Introduction
1.1 Blades: Patented blades with efficient twisted aerodynamic design are made with
Nylon and reinforced fiber glass materials by precision injection molding technology.
The blades are of exceptional consistency and aerodynamic outline with a mass
distribution that ensures the rotor operates with minimum noise and minimal vibration.
Tumo-Int wind turbine has very low start-up/cut-in wind speed and a high coefficient of
productivity, which is specially designed to prevent the blades from feathering post stall.
1.2 Generator: Made from high-quality rare earth permanent magnets material. The
wind turbine is of small size, light weight and high-efficiency power generation
characteristics. Unique electromagnetic design technique has endowed the wind
turbines in an excellent start performance, which effectively ensures Tumo-Int wind
turbine can be started up in a gentle breeze.
1.3 Body: Tumo-Int wind turbine, adopts high-quality aluminum alloy material and
stainless steel accessories, which is light weight. It has such high reliability that can be
applicable to various working conditions, such as severe climate, an ambient
temperature from -30 to 60 , high humidity, sand and salt ℃ ℃ corrosive environment as
well.
Tumo-Int wind turbine is elegant and easy to install, which makes you enjoy clean
energy in all-weather circumstances, as well as a joyful landscape.
Two ---- Siting
Small changes in wind speed and wind direction can have a dramatic effect on
power production. In general, the higher the tower, the greater the wind speed
and ultimately power production. Therefore, the siting of your wind turbine should
be carefully considered. Each installation is different and is often a compromise
among tower height, distance from the battery bank, local zoning requirements
and obstacles such as buildings and trees.
Specific requirements about installation and sitting of wind turbine are as follows:
2.1 The minimum recommended tower height is 8m on open ground or 5m above
nearby obstructions (Fig. 1), there are no obstacles within 100 meters as far as
possible;

7
2.2 If install two wind turbines on one area, the distance between them is 8-10 times
of rotor diameter. Try to locate the wind turbine in the “cleanest” turbulent free air as
possible. Turbulence will reduce the efficiency of the wind turbine and may
accelerate wear on rotating components.
2.3 Less natural disaster places are preferred.
Safety must be the primary concern when selecting the mounting location. Even if
installing the wind turbine in a less than ideal location, don’t attempt to mount the
turbine while blades are spinning.

Six --- System Configurations
There are three common system configurations for Tumo-Int 3000W wind turbine:
(A) Wind and solar Tumo-Int hybrid power system for home:
(B) Wind turbine power system for home:

12
(C) On-grid system wiring diagram:
Tumo-Int wind and solar hybrid power system configuration introduction:
6.1 Wind and Solar hybrid Controller
Tumo-Int 3000W off-grid wind turbine uses off-grid controller, while on-grid types use
on-grid inverter.
Off-grid controller is divided into direct charging controller, wind and solar hybrid controller.
User can choose by the corresponding wind turbine. In general, Tumo-Int wind and solar
hybrid controller can be used the same as charging controller, however, charging
controller can not be used in wind and solar hybrid power system.
The main voltage specifications of on-grid inverter for Tumo-Int wind turbine is
AC110V/60Hz and AC220V/50Hz. User should reasonably choose on the basis of local
single-phase voltage class.
6.2 Inverter
For customers who need AC power, it is recommended to use AC220V/50Hz or

13
AC110V/60Hz inverter, the capacity should be determined according to maximum
electricity load.
6.3 Battery
There are many battery choices available –lead acid, absorbed glass mat (AGM), gel cell
and NiCad. The type of battery utilized will depend largely on the battery bank location
and cost. For battery installations where fumes can be safely ventilated and the potential
for acid leakage accommodated, the lead-acid battery is typically the most economical
choice.
200AH/12V batteries are recommended for Tumo-Int 2000W and Tumo-Int 3000W wind
turbine owners. Negative pole of the battery should be in a good grounding. The capacity
must be based on electricity load of the owners.
6.4 Solar Panel
The common solar panel models for wind and solar hybrid system have the
following standard:
Power（W) Voltage（Vdc）
Power（W) Voltage（Vdc）
60w 12 24 140w 12 24
75w 12 24 150w 12 24
80w 12 24 180w 12 24
100w 12 24 240w 12 24
120w 12 24
Remark: voltage is calculated by
battery voltage.
The capacity should be designed in accordance with wind turbine and local wind and
sun resources.
6.5 Wire Size
All electrical systems lose energy due to resistance in conductors: the wires.
Large wires have less resistance but can be considerably more costly. Resistance
losses will also increase with increasing current; therefore, if yours is a high wind site,
it may be worthwhile to go with a larger size wire to take advantage of the greater
power production potential of your site. Conversely, in low wind sites it may not be
cost effective to increase the wire size since power production will be low.
For selection of wire size, the following factors should be taken into consideration:
① Measuring the distance from the batteries to your Tumo-Int wind turbine. Be sure
to include height of the tower;
② Your system voltage;

14
③ Your system power distance.
For selection of wire size, the following factors should be followed:
① Practical and affordable;
② Satisfying using condition;
③ The positive pole of battery is red line, negative pole is black line(or blue line);
The following wiring sizes provide maximum annual energy losses of 5% or less for
sites with a 5.4m/s average wind speed (assuming the standard Rayleigh distribution
of wind speeds) which is sufficient for most sites.
Refer to the appropriate chart for your system voltage and number of turbines and select
the wire size.

Seven --- Debug and Test
The operation of wind turbine system should be debugged after installation, the
requirements are as follows:
7.1 Make sure the functions of controller meet the requirements; the specification of
controller is matched with voltage and current of battery, solar panel, wind turbine, loads;
7.2 Wiring is in strict accordance with wiring requirements of controller. Firstly, connect to

15
battery and dumper, and then connect to small wind turbine and solar panel, at last
connect to load; take down connection in the reverse order. Positive and negative pole of
the battery, solar panel can not be reversed and short-circuited;
7.3 The wire leads of wind turbine and connection wires of battery should refer to 6.5
requirement and regulations;
7.4 Please read carefully about controller instructions to set the functions after the
completion of system wiring, such as model selection and regular time setting;
7.5 PV charging debug: In the light condition (output voltage of solar panel is greater than
that of battery), the controller’s PV indicator should be working (normal on or blinking),
measure output current by DC clamp meter, the current size depends on illumination
intensity and battery capacity;
7.6 Wind turbine charging debug: wind turbine operation is normal or not when it is windy,
while reach or exceed cut-in wind speed, the controller’s wind turbine indicator should be
working (normal on or blinking), measure output current by AC clamp meter, the current
size depends on wind speed and battery capacity;
7.7 Light-control function debug: measure battery voltage by multimetre to ensure battery
voltage is higher than over discharge recovery voltage, then set to light-control mode,
disconnect any wire of solar panel from controller, several minutes later, observe whether
the light of loads is on or not, it is normal if the light is on. Then connect the solar panel
wire with controller again, the load output is cut off a few minutes later and the light goes
out;
7.8 Time-control function debug: ensure battery voltage is higher than over discharge
recovery voltage, observe whether the lighting time of load output light is the same as that
of setting.
7.9 Detailed debug and test about on-grid wind turbine refer to on-grid inverter manual.

Remark: “√” indicates maintenance.
Nine --- Trouble Shooting
9.1 Wind turbine’s Abnormal Vibration
Wind turbine vibration is mainly caused by the following reasons:
① Guy rope is loose and needs to be tightened;
② The blades mounting bolts on are loose and need to be tightened;
③ The surface of blades freeze and needs to be removed;
④ The blades have been distorted, defected and need to be replaced by contact
of supplier.
CAUTION: Turbine operation should be stopped as soon as abnormal vibration
happened, and then solve problems.
9.2 Abnormal Noise
Besides wind turbine running well creates noise, it is probably cause by friction
between rotor and stator, bearing damaged, in case of these situations, please contact
supplier to solve problems.
9.3 Rotational Speed Dramatically Decreases
Wind turbine rotational speed dramatically decreases under heavy wind condition,
which can be mainly divided into normal deceleration and abnormal deceleration:

17
① Turbine normal deceleration is mainly due to wind turbine over-voltage protection,
dump load, electromagnetic braking and normal short circuit, which is wind turbine
regular work;
② Turbine abnormal deceleration is mainly due to friction between rotor and stator,
bearing damaged, generator burned, in case of these situations, please contact
supplier to solve problems.
9.4 Wind Turbine Insensitive to Adjust Blades Direction
Tumo-Int wind turbine mainly adopts tail yaw to adjust the blades direction, if it is not
sensitive to adjust blades direction, which is because the turbine alternator shaft is
damaged, the tower is out of vertical, in case of these situations, the shaft should be
replaced and tower vertically must be adjusted.
9.5 Generator Abnormal AC Output
Generator abnormal AC output mainly is divided into:
① Generator output voltage is low, which is due to low wind speed or long connection
line, small wire size results in high pressure drop, therefore, selection of wire size
should refer to 6.5 regulations and requirements.
② Generator three-phase output voltage is imbalanced. Voltage unbalanced rate shall
not exceed 10% (same wind speed or rotational speed) in accordance with related
national standards, if exceeded, the generator fails, please contact supplier to solve
problems.
③ Generator has no output voltage under heavy condition, check whether generator
is normal short-circuited or not and three-phase resistance values are balanced or not
(uncharged operation), if imbalanced, the generator fails, please contact supplier to
solve problems.
9.6 Generator Has AC Output but No DC Output
Off-grid wind turbine charges battery, wind turbine transfers AC to DC by controller,
the DC voltage must be higher than battery voltage, or turbine will not generate power.
If AC input voltage of the generator is normal (voltage higher than battery voltage after
rectification) while there is no current display on DC terminal, check whether the
controller’s wind turbine indicator work or not (blinking), connection is normal or not,
connection terminals are burned or not, fuses are burned out or not etc. Analyze these

18
situations and get rid of the troubles. In the event of burning of controller, please
contact supplier to solve problems.
9.7 Solar Output Voltage Too Low or No Output in Wind and Solar hybrid System
Check whether solar panel lead is short circuit, circuit break, open circuit or not.
9.8 Light Source Is Not On in Wind and Solar hybrid System
This situation is mainly cause by:
① Light source is damaged and need to be replaced;
② Battery is under voltage, controller does not supply power, which is system normal
protection;
③ Controller is burned out and needs to be replaced;
④The mode setting on the controller is not correct and needs to be reset according to
controller manual.
9.9 Wind Turbine Does Not Charge Battery
This situation is mainly caused by:
① Wind speed is too small to reach cut in state, output DC voltage of wind turbine is
lower than battery voltage;
② Type of battery is not matched with controller, battery should be replaced (commonly
use lead acid battery);
③ Burning of controller results in not charging battery, controller should be replaced;
④ Battery is fully charged, controller is over-voltage protection.
9.10 On-grid inverter faults and trouble shooting refers to inverter fault codes and
solutions.
