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.
