you should try a DC-DC step down buck converters from ebay and set it to 14.4 volt. it would protect your battery and you might even get a few more watts. I seen they have 1200w ones.
1200w converter charger 14.4v for a battery? 1200w input? Do you know what that means? You can't put in more than 150w or max 200w charge on an Agm 100Ah battery.
Thanks for update. Could you please give us a link for powermeters (saw you change them, diffrent model/display). And the 3 phase rectifiers that you use. Thanks in advance.
Hello, I'm working on an "ideal" 3 phase bridge rectifier. It uses FET's instead of 6 diodes. Current specs are about 9/48V AC to DC. and 25A. The advantage is that the voltage drop is lower so the efficiency is higher. I don't have a wind turbine at the moment. Would you like to test these and measure the difference?
I'm about to get a turbine set up. Can you mount a rectifier or a mppt and your dump load resistor on the outside in a weather proof electrical box? And then run the wiring through the wall to the batteries and inverter. When I see all your wires I get dizzy. Where can I see a good detailed wiring diagram?
You can mount everything is a good ventilated box...and I stress ventilated. This stuff can get pretty hot so fans and moving air are important. I would avoid running anything through walls but you can use conduit and boxes to make it look neater. I'm not usually too bothered by "neat" and I make frequent changes so I need it all out in the open with easy access.
@@ToysforWatts if you had every thing neat you would be done with testing there is info on the net on how to use caps to take most the load off your mill the catch is you have to find a diff way to slow it down in high winds also the higher the voltage the lower the amps for the same watts amps heat things up it would make since to me for the ac out put to be very high then steped down with a very efficient buck or step down transformer lets say you have a high hill close by with alot better wind lets say it is half mile away what would the voltage drop over that high mile and what gauge wire would be needed at 12 volts 12 volts times 20 amps is 240 watts big cost for 12 gauge wire for that half mile now lets say your mill puts out 1000 volts or you have a low lose step up tansformer at mill to step voltage up to 1000 volts 1000 volts times 20 amps is 20 thousand watts on the same 12 gauge wire you could have also have a low lose transformer or a very efficient buck converter to step the high voltage back down and raise the amps with high voltage you could use a very small awg wire for 1000 watts like phone wire size lol just some things to think about my friends i will be building a wind mill very soon i have 4 or 5 washer motors i am thinking about using with out rewire them using caps to decouple the load from the three phase motor turned to alternator and adding a diff from the norm type of breaking
@@ToysforWatts you can rebuild your batts buy replacing only the neg plates the pos is most always good if you replace the neg plates with plates covered with carbon that is free and easy to make your self they will last many more cycles than reg batt along with many other benefits
Hello, Can you please tell me how do I connect digital ammeter voltometer same one you using to wind turbine to monitor my power ? Is it connected to turbine before charger or after ?!
The meter goes between the rectifier and your battery assembly. If you're using a charge controller with your turbine you can use the meter between the turbine and controller or between the controller and the batteries...it's a matter of preference.
@@ToysforWatts thank you for reply, if I use it between turbine and charger how do I do connection wiring specially shunt. I have 5 wires and I'm confused how to wire it . I need to monitor my turbine power and watt
There should only be four wires. Does it have a wiring diagram on it? Does it have a model number on it? The ones I use are PZEM-051's and only have four wires.
Not a dumb question at all! This iSta Breeze i500 is a 12v rated turbine, though I'm seeing that it likes voltage to be a bit higher than 12v. I'm still pinning down the sweet spot. It's tied to a 12v battery as well.
@@ToysforWatts Cool, thank you. I've heard that 12v batteries don't like to be above 14.5ish volts. I'm guessing it's ok for the turbine to be putting out much higher voltage as long as the battery is in a state of discharge, and that the charge controller cuts out once the battery reaches its threshold? Your channel is helping me learn a ton in a short period of time, thanks again 👍🏼
I'm glad I'm helping but pay close attention to the voltage...you're right in that it's not generally a good idea to go anywhere north of 15vdc on a 12v battery. I'm pretty abusive to my batteries and sometimes they even explode. This turbine will work better with a better battery under it, but it really should be run with a controller that can limit the peak exposure. Hitting a 12v battery with an occasional and brief high voltage burst won't be too terrible, but prolonged exposure to higher voltage will do damage.
You are not a real electrician if you are pulling such high voltage into a battery. You have no wind controller set up, no overvoltage protection. You should have a dc Dump load with a switch on off starting at 14.7v to take the excess power to a consumer, for example a truck lorry light in your basement. If people don't find safety advice, they won't stay long on an youtube channel. You have to follow the rules of electricity, otherwise is no point to post videos if you don't use the power properly. Just buy a dc dc step down to 14.4v for AGM battery charging, so your regulate a more constant and lower voltage charging. Continuos standby charging voltage for a 12v system is 13.8v for a lead acid battery. Its the best voltage to keep it on charge without overcharging. Don't ever let a battery to overcharge. Your garage will explode with hydrogen gas accumulation. You will die some day if you don't follow my safety advice. Hydrogen its the most explosive gas in our world. And you can't joke with this.

@@ToysforWatts Cool! Thanks! Maybe some brief reviews for those. Why did you change the power-meters, wich is best buy, etc.

isn't it a bit too much voltage 16.4 volts for a 12 volt battery or are you making it explode too?
it won't normally explode but they won't last long

You right it's 4 wires and a shunt, same device , how to connect between turbine and charger to monitor my turbine performance 😳

Dumb question from a newbie. Is that a 12v or 24v turbine, and what about the batteries? Thanks

Are u cooking 12V Batteries all the time?😅
