One killowatt, and three wire. He's been using it with some heating elements as a dump load, to make hot water. And he just sent me a picture -- heck, it's on something like a 20 ft. pole, so no wonder it's not making much power! Also he doesn't want to spend a lot of money, so I suspect the Aurora (which would be a pretty good deal) will still be too costly for him. His machine's output is put through rectifiers to make the battery voltage.

And is that 48-60 VDC directly out of the turbine, or is that what comes out of the turbine's "controller"? To put that another way, are there just two wires coming out of the turbine, or three wires?

It's an old Cyclone, originally made in Canada. He's wanting a grid-tie inverter to lessen his electrical bill; I know he could use an Outback but he doesn't want to fool with batteries. Anyone got any ideas what inverter might work for him? Best, Chris Daum Oasis Montana Inc. 406-777-4309 406-777-0830 fax www.oasismontana.com
