2.1 Intended Use
The Windy Boy is a transformerless wind energy inverter which converts the rectified alternating
current generated by the small wind turbine system, or other energy converters based on permanent
magnet generators, into grid-compatible alternating current, and feeds this into the electricity grid or
stand-alone grid.

2.2 Safety Precautions
Electric Shock
High voltages are present in the live components of the inverter. Touching these components can
cause fatal electric shocks.
• Do not open the inverter.
• All work on the inverter (e.g. repairs, modifications) must be carried out by skilled persons only.
Burn Hazards
Some parts of the enclosure can become hot during operation.
• During operation, only touch the lower enclosure lid. Do not place any obj ect s on the enc losure ,
as this can lead to yield losses.
Inverter Damage
Overvoltages can destroy the inverter.
• If the display message DC overvoltage ‒ Disconnect generator is shown, inform your
installer IMMEDIATELY.
The inverter can be damaged by removing the ESS under load.
• Always leave the ESS plugged in during operation.
