The 4000/7200-WIND-INTERFACE is a passive rectifier designed to transform AC current from a wind turbine permanent magnet generator into a continuous (DC) current to be input to one or more ABB inverters, and for connection to diversion (dump) resistors. The WIND-INTERFACE does not supply a safety system for the wind turbine.

Limits on use

The inputs of the rectifier may be connected only to a wind-turbine, not to batteries or other sources of power.

The WIND-INTERFACE must be used only within its technical specifications and ratings.

The labels on the Wind box have the Agency marking, main technical data and identification of the equipment and manufacturer

The labels attached to the equipment must NOT be removed, damaged, dirtied, hidden,etc...If the service password is requested, the field to be used is the serial number -SN: YYWWSSSSSS-

In the manual and/or in some cases on the equipment, the danger or hazard zones are indicated with signs, labels, symbols or icons.

Transport and handlingTransport of the equipment, especially by road, must be carried out with by suitable ways and means for protecting the components from violent shocks, humidity, vibration, etc.

LiftingThe means used for lifting must be suitable to bear the weight of the equipment.

Unpacking and checkingThe components of the packaging must be disposed on in accordance with the regulations in force in the country of installation.

When you open the package, check that the equipment is undamaged and make sure all the components are present. If you find any defects or damage, stop unpacking and consult the carrier, and also promptly inform the Service ABB.

Environmental checks - Consult the technical data to check the environmental parameters to be observed - Installation of the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight must be avoided as it may cause:1. premature wear of the electrical/electromechanical components2. premature wear of the mechanical components (gaskets) - Do not install in small closed rooms where air cannot circulate freely - To avoid overheating, always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked - Do not install in places where gases or flammable substances may be present - Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected, becau-se of the noise (about 50dB(A) at 1 m) that the Wind-Interface makes during operation

Installations above 2000 metresOn account of the rarefaction of the air (at high altitudes), particular conditions may occur: - Less efficient cooling and therefore a greater likelihood of the device going into derating because of high internal temperatures - Reduction in the dielectric resistance of the air that, in the presence of high operating voltages (DC input), can create electric arcs (discharges) that can reach the point of damaging the Wind-Interface

All installations at altitudes of over 2000 metres must be assessed case by case with the ABB Service department.

Installation position - Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing the weight of the equipment - Install in safe, easy to reach places - If possible, install at eye-level so that the display and status LEDs can be seen easily - Install at a height that considers the heaviness of the equipment - Install vertically with a maximum inclination of +/- 5° - Choose a place with enough space around the unit to permit easy installation and removal of the object from the mounting surfaces; comply with the indicated minimum distances - For a multiple installation, position the inverters side by side; if the space available does not allow this arrangement, position the inverters in a staggered arrangement as shown in the figure so that heat dissipation is not affected by other inverters

Final installation of the Wind-Interface must not compromise access to any disconnec-tion devices that may be located externally.Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions available on the website and evaluate any possible exclusion due to improper installation.

Wall/Pole mounting

During installation, do not place the Wind-interface with its front facing towards the ground.

- Position the Wind-Interface so that it is perfectly level on the wall and use it as a boring template.

- Make the 4 holes required, using a drill with a 10 mm diameter bit. The depth of the holes should be about 30 mm.

- Secure the Wind-Interface to the wall using the four provided bolts and screws. Check the stability of the Wind-Interface

- Unscrew the four screws and open the frontal cover in order to make all necessary connections

- Once the connections have been made, close the cover by tightening the 4 screws on the front to a minimum tightening torque of 1.5 Nm.

The purpose of the diversion/dump load is to help keep the turbine under control under two conditions without triggering the external braking systems (both electrical and mechanical). Those conditions are:

- Inverter disconnected from the electrical grid. Without the inverter on the grid, the turbine would turn freely, unloaded. This calls for a method to avoid runaway and keep the turbine within its specified operating range, reducing the need to invoke mechanical protection mechanisms (disc brakes, pitch control, etc).

- Exceeding the maximum power of the inverter. At sites where the maximum power rating of the inverter will be exceeded only a few times per year, it’s pos-sible to employ a dump load instead of an inverter with a higher power rating. During strong winds, the excess power that can’t be handled by the inverter is shunted to the resistive load.

CONNECTIONTo connect the two wires, coming from Diversion load resistor to the terminal requires releasing the terminal spring clamp. This is accomplished as follows: 1) Insert the flat blade of a screw driver into the connector release hole.2) While holding the release open, insert the appropriate wire into the connector hole marked CLAMP3) Hold the wire in place in the clamp and remove the screwdriver from the RELEASE hole to clamp the wire in the terminal.

WIRE GAUGE RESISTANCE VALUE

MINIMUM 10 AWG 320 ohm

MAXIMUM 6 AWG -

The correct sizing of the dump load resistor is dictated by the characteristics of the individual site and the characteristics of the individual wind turbine, and is beyond the scope of this guide. The determination of the resistor value (ohms) and dissipation rating (watts) is the resposnsibility of the wind turbine system designer or the customer.Remember that the values IABR(max) and IDC(max) must never exceeded.

The Wind Interface may not always be able to prevent runaway (for instance, if the generator fails), therefore it is necessary to have an external Safety Brake circuit, electrical and/or mechanical, that brakes the system.

To connect the two wires, coming from DC side of inverter, to the terminal requires releasing the terminal spring clamp. This is accomplished as follows:

1) Insert the flat blade of a screw driver into the connector release hole.2) While holding the release open, insert the appropriate wire into the connector hole marked CLAMP3) Hold the wire in place in the clamp and remove the screwdriver from the RELEASE hole to clamp the wire in the terminal.

Tachometer output (WIND SPEED connector) is an open collector source. The generated pulse train has frequency identical to the generator frequency. Max pull up voltage = 24Vdc; zero level = 1.4Vmax; max current = 1mA. The pulse train is generated from two of the wind turbine input phases (1 and 2). A hardware filtering optimizes the frequency reading in the range 5-200Hz.

This link is mandatory if in the inverter is uploaded a power curve defined in term of frequency.

To connect the two wires, coming from +/- WT connector of inverter, to the terminal requires releasing the terminal spring clamp. This is accomplished as follows: 1) Insert the flat blade of a screw driver into the connector release hole.2) While holding the release open, insert the appropriate wire into the connector hole marked CLAMP3) Hold the wire in place in the clamp and remove the screwdriver from the RELEASE hole to clamp the wire in the terminal.
