This circuit provides charging current to the batteries.
Wind energy provides electrical current. This arrives at a switch (S1) that can be used to disconnect the current from the boat, connect the current to the boat, or short out the power cables which instructs the turbine to brake. Current to the boat is limited by a 50Amp self-resetting circuit breaker. The circuit is monitored by a combined Voltmeter / Ammeter.
2. Touch Points
Power is supplied by the wind and is directed to the House Battery Chargers Busbar.
The ground wire from the turbine is connected to the Bonding busbar.
