Description

Brake Switch & Rectifier Combo Includes:

  • 3 phase wind turbine brake switch
  • 50 amp bridge rectifier
  • heavy duty electro-galvanized steel recessed back plate
  • all pre-wired and ready to go!

3 phase brake switch with short circuit brake - Also for use with DC output wind turbines

Simple, yet perfect for small turbine installations, this 3-phase switch uses a specialized switch to provide both disconnect capability as well as braking by shorting out the 3 wires of the stator. Although designed specifically for 3-phase turbines it works equally well for single phase AC turbines as well as DC turbines.

Switch Positions:

  • Up: Turbine is connected to the battery or rectifier (switch is closed).
  • Middle: Turbine is fully disconnected (free spinning).
  • Down: Turbine wires are shorted together (brake is on).
