We continue to experience trouble with our wind generator (see Tilting Windmills). Until we can track down and fix the trouble, we are limited to our solar power. This means that we don’t get on line much at all.
I try to post on the blog every other day. Until we resolve this issue, I need to back off to about once every two days at most. If it drags on, I may have to dial it back further.
Hopefully, that won’t happen. Please bear with!
After a sweet, trouble free year and a half, the wind generator began making a familiar, troubling sound Monday evening.
We’d last heard it two years ago, January, in our newer W100 generator. After exhausting all other possible causes, we lowered the generator tower, and discovered burned and melted stator wires.
This time around, like our old friend, Don Quixote, we tilted the windmill first.
