Play & Charge Kit

I am setting up a wind turbine system that only has a 400w wind turbine. I am going to make it a tie in and will not have a battery system to save power. Do i need a charge controller or is only having the power inverter enough
yes i meant a...


Do you mean grid tie?

Inverters work with a fixed DC voltage like 12 or 24 volts. The output of your generator will be varying with wind speed, so you need something in between to adjust the voltage driving the inverter.

Why is a charge controller not necessary for a 5 watt solar panel?
Level is good.

My 5 watt solar panel car battery charger manual states that charge controller is not necessary for panels under 15 watts. I'm trying to understand the physics of why that's the case. Even if my panel is only putting out say 15 volts at 350mA...


A typical lead-acid battery can safely be "trickle charged" at C/100 rate, where C is the capacity (if you are talking car battery, that is about 50Amp-hours typical). C/100 for a 50Ah battery is 500mA, so 350mA won't hurt it. The...

Can a wind turine be made without a charge controller if i am not using battery?
Totally wired.

If i am running the appliance directly from turbine generated power then is there any need to use a charge controller??


yes. Almost all appliances have a very limited range of voltage and frequency under which they will operate, typically 105 to 125 VAC and 59-61Hz for the US.

Power coming out of a wind turbine varies a lot, perhaps 10 to 1, or even...

what is the diffrence between a solar panel charge controller and a wind turbine controller?
Thermostat with wiring.

they both charge a 12v or bank of 12v batteries? i have built my turbine but confused on what controller to use?thanks


lets start with basics

the solar power supplies DC and it is running all morning, the power it supplies not as much as the wind turbine so the controller and the power it supplies mostly constant becasue the sun changes slowly

looking for plans to a diy wind turbine charge controller?
Thermostat in pieces.

I am building my own wind turbine and would like to build a 12 volt charge controller. Looking for any help thanks in advance.


here i hope this site help you..and also they have mini course on how to build your own wind turbine..

go green!!

    PlugBug

    When the PlugBug from Twelve South first came on the market in November, everybody and his mom wanted one. How could you not want a product backed by Guy Kawasaki , an Apple Fellow who, back in the 1980s, marketed the Macintosh? On its surface, the PlugBug looks like a USB wall charger, but it also connects to the power brick of MacBooks, allowing simultaneous charging from one accessory.

    If you're a frequent business traveler, this means a decluttered hotel workspace. The 10-watt PlugBug is designed to provide the fastest possible charge for the iPad. (Fun fact: Did you know USB ports on most MacBooks don't charge at full speed?) When you're going from plane to meeting, you don't want to wait on your devices to juice up. That's where the PlugBug comes into play. Available for $34.99.
