I am at the final stages of planning my wind generator using a Ametek 38 (geared for more rpm's). The motor has a max of 12A and it probably will put out 100 watts. I plan to use the Xantrex C35 which should be plenty for what this motor can put out. I was just wondering if I were to use a air resistor what is a safe bet in terms of wattage and resistance without pushing the C35's limits and blowing it? For example if it switched to dump at 14 volts would I need something lower than 1.960hms (R=14*14/100w-->1.960hms). Would I need to run a parallel setup to achieve the correct resistance? Let me know if I am way off course. So far I have found that Digi-Key has these Ohmite ones, but if you can suggest better ones that would be much appreciated, thanks.
