combiner box
« on: June 19, 2008, 01:33:47 AM »
I am soon to be erecting two wind turbines, side by side.  I also have a dc generater.


currently the generator is going to the battery bank through a fuse then to a buss bar in my outback dc panel.


Does anyone see a problem with both turbines and the generator using the same buss bars in the combiner box even though they will all be generating different amps and voltage?  I understand that the battery will bring the voltage down to whatever the batteries are at, but I am not sure if there would be any reason these shouldn't feed into the same buss bar and use the same wires back to the batteries.


The amp rating of the wire is plenty to handle the load of all three running at the same time.

Why oh why not combine both questions into one?

They are essentially about the same thing.
