Hi folks, I noticed last night that my Rutland 913 wind turbine was sounding like a jet propellor and generating more current than I've ever seen before. I looked up the instructions but couldn't find much except the recommendation not to put the electric brake on in high winds, saying that it can put unnecessary strain on the system.
So, do I take it that in high winds it's okay to just let it spin ferociously? What do others do? Alternatively perhaps, do you lash the propellor in place to prevent it spinning? Is it necessary at all?
Cheers.
