The Whipser pdf I downloaded shows an Aurora wind hookup using standard electrical screw blocks. Insert the wires and use a screwdriver to tighten the screw which clamps down on the wire. It's all included. Some may use a hex-wrench, but the one I saw looked like a straight slot.


http://www.windenergy.com/techsupport/downloads.html has links for different user manuals.

Hi Roy,


They use Wago 745 series terminal blocks. You insert a small flat-head screwdriver in the top slot and use it as a lever to open up the jaw of the terminal, then insert the wire.


What do you need to know about the PVI-WIND-INTERFACE modules? I work with them, as well as selling them for use with our Scirocco wind turbines. You can contact me directly at rob_at_solacity_dot_com.

Thanks Rob. I heard that the Aurora's were supposed to come with a special tool for those terminal blocks. Ive never seen it, but mine never came with it. So I figured Id ask. No problem however, I figured it out, I just didnt want to break anything lol.


I just put a Scirocco on a 88' tilt over tower at a customers site (25kW Carter tower).


Thanks again
