Allan,
According to Wikipedia, it is not a typo. It is, however, an excellent example
of lousy technical writing / documentation. You are correct to zero in on it
What Outback seems to have done, is switch from a four line drawing on the input
side of the circuit to a one line drawing on the
Hello,
A friend of mine in the woods just put in a new xantrax inverter and is having
a search mode problem. They can't get 25W search mode to work and are stuck
with using the 50W setting. So they've had to put a few incandescents in to
make this setting work. His calls to tech support have
HI Jesse,
Can you tell us which model inverter?

Unfortunately I was talking to them at a function and they didn't know. They
are going to send me that info this evening.

In my experience, if the loads to bring it out of search mode are very
reactive all your bets are off, doesn't matter who made the inverter. The
solution could be as simple as changing which brand of CFL they depend on
to bring the inverter out of search. Have you tried Euro CFLs vs Chinese?
And
They basically started all over after their old system started showing it
signs. They added 4 more modules and do end up near 100% at the end of the day.
Tech support mentioned adding a small inverter for the small lighting loads.
Many of the homes loads are 12V (fridge, some lighting).
I would then say measure non-search mode (always on) current draw over a
few days or weeks. How significant is it? Are there other ways to mitigate
it? DAN

I have a client with a Whisper 200 that failed recently. It was shortly after a
severe lightning storm so the assumption was that the controller got fried. The
wind turbine would not spin, it was as if the brake was on - if you know the
Whisper, the brake is electrical, basically a shorting of
Is there a lightning arrestor of any kind installed? If so, check for
continuity (ohm out) between the leads of it; there should be none. If there
is continuity the device can be replaced and the turbine will be up and running.
If the arrestors get fried, they can act like a shunt across the
I have had the same problem recently.
Make sure you check phase to ground voltage not just phase to phase.
I had a whisper 100 that had the exact symptom and I replaced the controller
with one of the new Luminous RE units. The old controller actually checked out
fine on a known good turbine!
Thanks Ryan, there is a new Midnite arrestor in the Clipper and I don't think
that is the prob. but will check. There are two Delta LA's in the main Outback
panel and I don't think they're involved.

Hi Jeremy, I'm strongly suspecting that there is a winding short. What do you
mean by upper casting assy? Do you mean the whole turbine unit? If so, who
supplies them now?

Make sure
Ron,
Depending on the Clipper version, there may be a jumper One of 3 in
a row in the front of the
Clipper circuit board that, if installed on the right, may be making the
Clipper try to turn on its auxiliary
power supply at a very low voltage when the turbine isn't spinning fast
enough
