Introduction
Product Description
2
The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine is a novel electric generator (Worldwide patents pending). It consists, as shown in the product detailed schematic, of a central wheel made of aluminum rim, stainless steel spokes, and aluminum hub. Two ceramic bearings are used to attach this wheel to the center shaft of the turbine. Custom-
shaped glass-lled nylon blades are attached to the spokes of this wheel. Permanent magnets are afxed to the tips of these blades at the rim of the wheel.
The wind ows through this wheel with ease and it interacts with the aerodynamically
designed blades to induce a rotational motion in the wheel around its center hub. This
rotational motion is THE indication that wind energy is being extracted from the owing
wind stream. The magnets travel at a much higher speed for any given wheel rotation because they are located at the rim of the wheel. This placement of the permanent magnets at the blade tips produces the needed high speed motion without the need of any gearing mechanism. The elimination of gears in this wind turbine technology
enhances wind energy extraction efciency and prolongs its operating life.
The permanent magnets at the blade tips and wheel rim travel at high speed within a novel and custom-built stator system. This stator system converts the motion of these
magnets into electricity. A glass-lled nylon aerodynamically shaped shroud covers the
stator system.
An anemometer is attached to the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine that produces near instantaneous readings of wind speed and direction at the point of installation.
The electric output of the stator system is a variable direct current (DC) and is connected together with the anemometer wind speed and direction outputs to the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine SMARTBOX™ Control Equipment.
The SMARTBOX™ Control Equipment contains custom electronic battery charging circuits, an inverter, and a transfer switch. The SMARTBOX™ Control Equipment also employs a microprocessor which is programmed for optimal electric energy extraction from the wind, battery charge management, and automatically controls the transmission of electricity via the transfer switch from the Grid (switch board) or the attached battery (Not included).

Figure 2.1 Complete Turbine System
The key objective of a site evaluation or study is to place the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine so energy generated from the wind is maximized while meeting the local zoning requirements. Key elements to focused on during the site evaluation include:
1. High average wind speeds. The turbine delivers its best energy performance in areas of high wind speeds. This can best be determined by using simple anemometers at the installation site. It is recommended that such wind speed data is recorded for as long a period as possible and even better if several seasons are considered. When this is not possible, rely on published wind data as an estimate for the average local wind speeds. Published wind atlases can contain very useful

Turbine Installation
comparative data for a region or a specic location. However, be very careful when
relying only on this information as such data quite often tends to be measured at very high altitudes and may not be useful at lower and more practical heights.
2. As a general rule it is best to install the turbine at the highest permissible position and far removed in proximity to trees and other adjacent buildings or structures.
3. Always take into consideration all possible safety consequences of the turbine installation at the local site.
Figure 2.2 Wind Map for USA
There are several options for the installation of the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine. The turbine may be installed using a pole, a QUADPOD™ Mount on a at roof with a ballast or a QUADPOD™ Mount on a pitched roof with a ROOFBOX™ Mount. These are described in the next section.
Building codes and installation requirements vary considerably between various townships, cities, states and countries. Make sure that all required local permits are obtained BEFORE beginning installation. In all cases installation must be conducted by a licensed and trained professional contractor and electrician. In some locations the local electric utility may have strict regulations about renewable energy technologies such as this wind turbine and other interconnect agreements and therefore it is highly recommended that they are also contacted BEFORE installation.

The Junction Box
16
The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine is an electric generator. As discussed in the technology description the electricity is generated at the stators due to the high speed traversing of the permanent magnets at the blade tip and wheel rim. The electrical output of each stator is bused to the Junction Box that is mechanically attached to the mount section nearest the turbine. The Junction Box contains the interface electronics
of the stators to which all the wire connections are made in the eld by a certied and
trained electrician to the SMARTBOX™ Controller located near the home’s electrical switch board.
The Junction Box is a NEMA 4X enclosure to which a steel enclosure that houses an 1900 W stainless steel resistor is attached. The resistor is named the Dump Load and
is used in various operating and safety regimes as dened by the controlling software
of the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine. An anemometer that measures the wind speed and direction is also attached to the Junction Box. Please refer to the SMARTBOX
Controller Manual for full details. Only a certied and trained electrician should
install and maintain the Junction Box, the attached Dump Load resistor housing and anemometer.

GFI: A fuse rated at .5A 250V, accessible from the bottom of the wiring compartment, grounds the negative conductor of the turbine and provides turbine ground-fault protection. Only a Littelfuse
0312.500HXP or equivalent fuse should be used as a replacement.
SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT connect the battery negative to ground. NEC requirements specify that the battery negative ground must be done only through the 1A fuse. Bonding the battery negative to ground will disable the turbine’s ground fault protection and will result in improper operation. The battery compartment should be grounded if made of metal.
SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Fuses must only be replaced by qualied service personnel, such as a certied electrician or technician. For continued protection again risk of re, replace only with the same type
and rating of fuse. Failure to follow this warning may result in death, personal injury or property damage.
SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect wind and battery circuits before removing the grounding connections or before removing or installing the fuse. Wait at least 5 minutes for the internal circuitry to dis­charge before servicing the unit. Failure to follow this warn­ing may result in death, personal injury or property damage.
Even though the wind turbine is grounded at the service manual, it must also be grounded at the base of the mounting pole, QUADPOD™ Mount, or TriPod. Grounding at these mounts may prevent electric shock and voltage surges. Proper mount grounding may also minimize damage due to lightning strikes.
Grounding information is available from the National Electric Code (NEC) USA 2005 as well as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60364­5-54 section Erection of Electrical Equipment: Earthing Arrangements, Protective Conductors and Protective Bonding Conductors. Please reference the NEC and IEC standards regarding full details of grounding this wind turbine. Please also refer to 205 NEC article 250.53 (G) regarding the grounding electrode installation. Also refer to 2005 NEC article 250.66 (A) regarding conductor size where it stipulates that where a grounding electrode conductor is connected to a rod, pipe or plate electrode, that portion of the conductor that is the sole connection to the grounding electrode shall be a minimum of 6AWG copper wire or 4AWG aluminum wire.
