Turbine Wiring and Distances
The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine and SMARTBOX™ Controller can be installed
at a maximum distance of 200 feet apart. The SMARTBOX™ Controller and battery
enclosure can be installed at a maximum distance of 10 feet apart.
Turbine Current Rating and Wiring
The turbine input is rated for 20 amps maximum Isc (short circuit). The recommended
wire type is #10 AWG USE-2/RHW-2 or THWN-2, 90 degrees C wire for a turbine-to-
Smart-Box distance of up to 150 feet. The wire gauge should be increased to #8 AWG
for a distance of 150-200 feet. Due to the outside location of the turbine, a 70 degree
C ambient temperature correction is recommended.
