Lots Of Nothing
Yianie123.:
I am a victim of the PMA windturbine manufacture that gave the open voltage reading x the 24v amp draw, would equal 500-800 watts. Now after I learned a bit, I realize that I'm really getting 20 to 70 watts (in a good wind). Lucky for me a real ugly storm came through and destroyed the PMA windmills (claimed on homeowners insurance). So, now I have a 1000w, 10.5v-28v grid tie inverter, 45A-12/24/48v charge/diversion controller (TRI-STAR 45), 2-1200w-12/24v heating elements. Any ideas on what to do now? Is there a PMA that will really put out 1000w, in a 30-45mph wind, at 10.5v-28v? Still want to do something. Thank you!!

Thats a LOT of wind!
Most units are designed to furl at about 25MPH.
The difference between 20 and 30 MPH is huge.

I think GHURD was wanting to know which one you specifically had that was destroyed.
I'm both happy and sad for you.
Happy you are now the wiser, had it insured and sad for the rest of the equipment , like baldes and wires that probably got messed up in the process.

I purchased 4-500W PMA from Missourri Wind and Solar. They were a year old when I purchased them, but being PMA's using alternator bearings, I would say that I still had 100,000's of hours left on the bearings.
