Hi all Have wired up my F&P 7 phase 2x3C and have it working for 24 volts.
I am at this stage only getting up to 1.2 amps This is single F&P with old poles and new rotor (bought) on wind turbine with 1.2 metre blades. interested in Bruce's thoughts as to What this wiring configuration should put out have wired this way to try and get best Amps but seems lacking something. Have now wired one 1X6C which is to get more volts not amps
any help!!! OK

Hi Goodz

What type of blades, and whats the total diameter of the turbine. Do you have a wind speed measurement while you were getting 1.2 amps?

Although it runs well suspect blades may be too long made from (Wind and Wet) blade design

Hi Goodz

Yeah maybe a bit small? Aim for a turbine 2 to 2.5 meters diameter for a single stator. If you dont have much wind, try the 1X6C configuration, less max amps capacity, but will be making amps in lower winds and will give more watt hours at the end of the day.
