Luqeeg 1200W Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Generator User Manual

1. Product Overview

The Luqeeg 1200W Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Generator is designed for efficient wind energy utilization across various applications, including boats, balconies, cabins, and mobile homes. Its unique 5-leaf double-axis vertical blade design ensures high safety and quiet operation.

Key features include reinforced fiber nylon blades for enhanced durability and anti-wind capability, double bearings for stable and quiet operation, and an external rotor AC motor designed to reduce drag torsion. The turbine can start with a gentle breeze and adapts to 360° wind, eliminating the need for a yaw system. It also features effective current and voltage regulation for consistent power generation.

2. Safety Instructions

• Caution during Assembly: When assembling, handle the generator with care. Avoid dropping, knocking, or touching it roughly, as this may damage the product and affect its functionality.
• Controller Wiring: Always follow the wiring diagram provided on the controller when making connections. Incorrect wiring can impair normal product operation and, in severe cases, may cause permanent damage to the product.
• Secure Fasteners: After assembly, ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened before operating the wind turbine. Loose connections can lead to instability and potential hazards.
• High Voltage Warning: This device generates electricity. Exercise extreme caution when handling electrical components and ensure all connections are insulated to prevent electric shock.
• Moving Parts: Keep hands, clothing, and other objects clear of the rotating blades and other moving parts during operation to prevent injury.
• Proper Mounting: Ensure the mounting structure is robust and capable of withstanding the weight of the turbine and anticipated wind loads. Improper mounting can lead to structural failure.

4.3 Controller Connection

Connect the wind generator to the provided controller. The controller is crucial for regulating the current and voltage to ensure efficient and safe charging of your battery system. Refer to the wiring diagram on the controller for correct connections. The controller supports 12V, 24V, and 48V systems.

5. Operating Instructions

The Luqeeg 1200W Vertical Axis Wind Turbine is designed for quiet operation and high wind energy utilization. It has a starting wind speed of 2m/s (approximately 4.5 mph) and a rated wind speed of 12m/s (approximately 26.8 mph).

• The turbine automatically starts generating power once the wind speed reaches 2m/s.
• The controller will regulate the output to charge connected batteries (12V, 24V, or 48V).
• The external rotor AC motor design effectively reduces drag, allowing for efficient power generation even in varying wind conditions.
• The turbine's 360° wind adaptation means it will always orient itself to capture wind from any direction without manual adjustment.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your wind turbine. Perform the following checks periodically:

• Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the blades for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. Check the mounting pole and connections for stability and corrosion.
• Fastener Check: Ensure all bolts and screws remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Cleaning: Keep the blades and generator body clean from dirt, debris, and ice buildup to maintain aerodynamic efficiency.
• Wiring Inspection: Check all electrical connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose wiring. Ensure proper insulation is maintained.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your wind turbine, consider the following:

• No Power Generation:
  • Check wind speed: Ensure the wind speed is above the starting wind speed of 2m/s.
  • Verify wiring: Confirm all connections, especially to the controller and battery, are correct and secure according to the wiring diagram.
  • Inspect blades: Ensure blades are free from obstructions and damage, allowing for smooth rotation.
• Unusual Noise or Vibration:
  • Check for loose fasteners: Tighten any loose bolts on the blades or mounting structure.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for any physical damage to the blades or generator housing.
  • Ensure proper balance: Uneven blade wear or damage can cause imbalance.
• Controller Malfunction:
  • Check indicator lights: Refer to the controller's manual for the meaning of any indicator lights.
  • Verify battery connection: Ensure the battery is properly connected and within the supported voltage range (12V/24V/48V).
