HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine WT6500 Owner’s Manual - Rev 10
Turbine Installation
The Junction Box
The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine is an electric generator. As discussed in the
technology description the electricity is generated at the stators due to the high speed
traversing of the permanent magnets at the blade tip and wheel rim. The electrical
output of each stator is bused to the Junction Box that is mechanically attached to the
mount section nearest the turbine. The Junction Box contains the interface electronics
of the stators to which all the wire connections are made in the eld by a certied and
trained electrician to the SMARTBOX™ Controller located near the home’s electrical
switch board.
The Junction Box is a NEMA 4X enclosure to which a steel enclosure that houses an
1900 W stainless steel resistor is attached. The resistor is named the Dump Load and
is used in various operating and safety regimes as dened by the controlling software
of the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine. An anemometer that measures the wind speed
and direction is also attached to the Junction Box. Please refer to the SMARTBOX™
Controller Manual for full details. Only a certied and trained electrician should
install and maintain the Junction Box, the attached Dump Load resistor housing and
anemometer.
