Here is a quick video of my diy wind mill spinning in a 8 mph wind . YouTube- Axial flux wind turbine

Would love to see more pictures/info on your mill. I'm building a 17' axial flux with a Power-one 6K inverter. What kind of a dump load are you running?

Im using a baseboard heater electric hook up on the dc side of the rectifier through a omron relay.

Are you using a DC rated relay? If so, what's the model number?

Thanks,

Im using a 24 volt dc 3 phase relay switching on the ac side . The relay is run off of 2 12 volt batterys so that if the grid fails it will still work aleast for a couple days and buy then i could manually shut the turbine down .
