Air X suddenly stopped working help?

If your wind turbine is still under warranty. You can let the manufacturer send technicist for maintainance. If you wanna to try other high quality, absolutely realiable generator. Connect：

Hey Matthew, we've had a couple Southwest Windpower (SWWP) turbines here over the years. The original 303 burned up regulators about every 3rd Sunday I think. Turns out they just were not built for the kind of high wind production we have here. We later installed an updated model, which just spread out the regulator losses to about one each 8 months, but same problem. The X has a similar regulator, but relies less on aerodynamic twist and uses the internal heat dump to get rid of some of the excess energy during gusts. It still is prone to regulator failure in certain high wind conditions. That does not mean you had high wind when it failed, the damage was probably done on a windy day several weeks ago, and what was left of the FET diodes in the regulator finally gave up the goat the day you walked by.

Good news is changing the regulator is not hard, and not that expensive. Bad news is the regulator is located in the unit on top of the tower, it will have to come down. Your model might have some differences than the two we had, so I won't get specific here, but SWWP has always been good in the technical support area for us. Just call them, and if you have it, the serial number on the turbine unit would be great to have handy. It is likely with the original documentation that came with the turbine if you can find it. Changing ours took less than an hour if I remember correctly and you only needed ordinary hand tools. I wouldn't suggest trying to do it on top of the tower, even if you have help. The card slips in and the pieces could easily fall while you are trying to reconstruct it. Take it down to the work bench.

In our case, we decided we needed a more robust unit to withstand our winter conditions. We decided on a World Power Technologies WPT-900. That company, from Duluth Wisconsin, was later bought out by SWWP, and they actually make our unit in Flagstaff now along with the X you have. They have quite a line of units, and you might consider an upgrade to one that has the regulator at the base of the tower, or better yet inside the shed like ours. We still occassionally burn up FET diodes, usually during storms, but I can change them right in the battery room at eye level now. Our H-40 (formerly the WPT-900) has been running almost 12 years now, with only two malfunctions. One was free to correct, the other required easy to change parts in the battery room. Good luck Matthew, and take care, Rudydoo
