THRUST
BEARING
|
The unique
marine-grade thrust bearing at the base of the pole-mounted unit is a
combination of thermoplastic housing, slip rings, spring-loaded
brushes and a spring-loaded stainless steel shaft with upper and lower
bushings. |
|
This
constructions allows the Windbugger® to rotate 360º while allowing the
electrical leads to remain stationary, which prevents the leads from
becoming twisted |
|
|
OUTPUT
REGULATOR
|
A
centrifugal output regulator is mounted inside the back end of the
generator casing. |
|
It is
designed to protect the generator and your batteries from damage due
to high winds under squall conditions (35 knots or more for short
periods of time). |
|
When winds
higher than 35 knots are expected, the Windbugger® should be shut down
manually. |

|
CHARGE CONTROLLER
|
May be purchased as an
option |
|
Controls and prevents
battery over-charging |
|
Voltage settings determined
by user |
|
Most customers don't need a
controller, particularly if you have refrigeration aboard |
|
If you have both solar
panels and a Windbugger®,
the 35 or 45 amp charge controller is recommended |
