Sunforce Éolienne 600W Notice D'utilisation page 18

Every wind turbine and turbine tower needs to be grounded at the tower base
even though the system may be grounded at the battery bank. Grounding the tower at its base may
help prevent shocks to persons touching the tower due to lightning or electrical faults.
Please take the time to review the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local
building and zoning regulations for complete requirements. Even in "Off Grid Systems"
there are multiple ways for tower grounding, the most common method is a copper clad steel
electrode(s) driven into the soil. Please view the following grounding diagram.
(10) What effect does radio interference have on my Sunforce Products 600 Watt Wind Turbine?
The internal circuitry of the Sunforce Products 600 Watt Wind Turbine is shielded and filtered to
prevent radio interference, and has been tested to insure electro-magnetic compatibility.
(11) What effect does my Sunforce Products 600 Watt Wind Turbine have on radio transmissions?
The Sunforce Products 600 Watt Wind Turbine normally does not affect radio transmitters. Care
should be taken, however, to route power lines from the Sunforce Products 600 Watt Wind Turbine
away from the power and antenna lines of a radio transmitter. An old ham radio operator's trick is to
twist positive and negative wires together to provide an even distribution of EMF noise across both
wires, which serves to cancel out the electrical noise created. This technique can be used on the
