| Having just finished installing my new solar panels and wishing to monitor (gloat) their output for a while, I removed the wind generator from the shunt and remote metre. Having wired the wind generator direct to the fuse I gave it no further fought.
In a previous post I had asked a question about tracking these panels and decided to simply mount them for now, they are the ones in the rear.
At lunch time I noticed the wind generator going quite fast for such a mild wind, on checking I found it had reversed polarity. How could this be, all I had done was remove the metre, tricked me for a while.
I suspect it has occured because around two weeks ago I advanced the brush assembly on my compound wound old girl. While this had the desirable effect of reducing the demagnetizing effect and charging sooner, I suspect I went too far. Now waiting for a wind challenged day to climb up there and back it off a bit.
Has anybody a better explination? |
