I think I know the maximum amperage the wind turbine can provide is 12 amps, as this is the input fuse on the original inverter. With my limiting circutry before it gets to the inverter I am guessing the maximum Amperage will be 7 amps. Quite an educated guess actually, based on some sampling.
I am hot sure in my mind how the diode knows which line has the higher voltage? In my brain I can only see one half of the circut working.
*Disclaimer: Ex computer programmer. NOT an electronics person!
I can see how it will stop the reverse flow of electricity into the batteries from the turbine.
I can see how if there is no electricity from the turbine then the batteries would work.
I see how if there is voltage from the turbine then that gets connected.
I dont see how the battery line gets disconnected when the turbine line exceeds the battery voltage?
Can you show me a diagram, or offer an explanation? Please type slowly.
