If the stator is now configured for 48v nominal, why not run it through a
conventional packaged 3 phase rectifier directly stalled to the 48v battery
bank through a fuse of course (that's sized to never blow under turbine
current). You can also add a shorting stop switch prior to the rectifier -
Yes, the EZ-Fire controller.
I agree with Roy; there's nothing magic about the turbine alternator
itself, and it's easy to build your own stop switch and rectifier/heat sink
assembly. And maybe then run it thru a Midnite Classic for MPPT. I've never
done it with a 200, but works fine on 100s.

my old whisper controller has 3, full wave bridge rectifiers (with capacitors
in parallel) connected to the wild, 3 phase ac input... and a 4 way light
switch used to short out the three wild ac legs for the brake. should be easy
to build one.

I don't know the answer to this, as I don't work enough with wind.
My reason for writing is only this: if worse comes to worst and
the other controller smokes, I have a 500-watt Whisper 500 Mariner
and the original EZ-Wire Center and tower kit.

Hello wrenches,
Yesterday, we converted a Whisper 200 over from 24V to 48V operation. We
lowered the turbine and rewired it. We set the Dip switches in the
controller (1 2 to off) and rewired the dump load as specified in the
manual. For some reason, when we put the 55V battery voltage to the
Whoops - sorry, Wrenches! This reply
was supposed to go to Mac, not the whole list. I thought that I
had changed the address line.
But since it did - the offer remains for anyone else, if Mac can't
use it. Contact me off list; otherwise it someday goes on
