3 Phase or DC Voltage

The Latronics Turbine Controller utilises the latest in micro-controllerdesign to deliver a stable and safe supply of power to the grid connectinverter. Designed specifically to integrate with the Latronics PVE1200Grid Connect Inverter, it allows battery-less grid connection of DC or 3phase AC wind and water turbines.

Electronic Smart Brake:

Multiple Input Types:

Versatile and Reliable:

The electronic braking system progressivelyincreases the braking until the turbine comes to a complete stop. Thiswill extend bearing life and prevent damage to both the PV Edge andTurbine during extreme conditions.

The Latronics turbine controllers come standardwith a voltage rectifier. This means 3 phase AC or DC Voltage can befed in to the Turbine controller.

Suitable for use with wind generators, micro-hydro and other renewable turbine sources. Over 25 years ofexperience and continuous adherence to stringent quality standardsensures optimum reliability backed with a full 2 year parts and labourwarranty

Important Notes Before Installation

Turbine Requirements

!

The unit must be placed in a well ventilated and protected area,not exposed to the open environment, and free fromcontaminates (i.e. Exhaust gases, sea air, dust etc.)The Turbine Controller is designed for indoor installation in asuitable location where ambient temperature will not exceedrated values.As the Turbine Controller has a wall mountable enclosure,ensure proper air circulation for cooling.When attaching the turbine to the Turbine Controller, polarity andor wire sequence does not matter due to the internal rectifier.Due to dangerous voltages, do not disconnect any wiring untilthe unit has completely powered down with no lights flashingand the turbine has stopped or been disconnected.

Use only a 48V Wind turbine.Make sure the turbine does not already have a controller. Pleaseremove if this is the case.

Use only a 48V water turbineMakes sure the turbine does not already have a controller.Please remove if this is the case.Check hydro turbine can be braked to a complete stop, if not anexternal load dump will be required.Contact the factory - Special modification is required.
