The Air Breeze wind generator (WG) is about ready to be working. We purchased more #6 cable and some terminal ends.
We also purchased a 50 AMP
breaker for it. We have mounted the breaker and put one terminal end on for the
switch side.

The WG on\off switch.
New WG breaker hiding behind some wires.
Switch and breaker
Got one end crimped and now need to run the cable to the MASTERVOLT house batteries.

- The switch gets a positive cable to it.
- Then a red cable positive to the breaker from the switch.
- Then a red cable from the breaker to the positive battery.
- Because you short the wind generator out to turn it off we though the best way to do this and because of our limited space was to run two cables to the neg battery.
- One neg cable goes from the WG to the neg battery.
- One neg cable goes from the switch to the neg battery.
- If the switch is on then the WG is charging and the neg cable to the neg battery from the WG is in use.
- If the switch is off the WG is not in use the neg cable from the switch is connected to the positive cable from the switch and thus shorted out and off.
