Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Two 1,600-watt wind generators replace destroyed 600-watt units on a C&C 39 after an 86-mph hurricane blew through the turbine brakes, detonating both hubs and exploding the internal windings from centrifugal overspeed.0:11 Both supporting poles also broke — one at a coupler, one at the threads — and no pipe die was available on the island to rethread them.0:48 A welder in Bimini repaired the poles; purchased extensions and couplers simplified the reinstallation joints for future maintenance.3:56 The installation sequence covers disconnecting power wires before cutting at the controller, using butt connectors with dielectric grease on all terminals, tying the three output wires together to engage the brake during installation, threading cable through the pole before mounting the generator head, fitting flat washers as spacers so studs clear the base and the unit turns freely, and assembling the blades on the hub while the pole is still down.4:54 Vibration isolators between the generator and mount reduce structure-borne noise; Gorilla tape seals the gap at the joint to block water ingress.5:35 Gordon assists standing the poles upright for bolting.7:04 Both 1,600-watt turbines are braced and producing power on completion.7:31
