SMARTBOX™ Controller for HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine WT6500 Owner’s Manual - Rev14
Introduction
The SMARTBOX™ Controller
The SMARTBOX™ Controller is a proprietary WindTronics control system that
consists of a charge controller and a non-grid-tie 1.5 kW inverter. Included within the
charge controller is an automatic AC transfer switch that will automatically switch
between your AC grid and power generated via the turbine.
The DC output from the turbine is fed into the Junction Box located beneath the
turbine assembly. The J Box serves three purposes: provide wiring interconnections
for the installation, provide an output over voltage protection of 170 VDC, and provide
a diversion or “dump” load that can dynamically brake and stop the turbine either
upon request from the SMARTBOX™ Controller or if a failure occurs in the system.
Beyond the J Box, all connections are fed into the SMARTBOX™ Controller. The
SMARTBOX™ Controller consists of four main elements: an I/O interface that
provides wiring interconnect for installation, a charge controller to charge a bank of
batteries, a non-grid-tie 1.5 kW inverter to back-convert the batteries to an AC output
and a transfer switch that can switch between AC grid input and the internal inverter’s
AC.
