The Tower - Bornay 600 Manual De Usuario

The tower

It is recommended to install the windmill on an Independent tower, and not
next to the house to avoid turbulences.
Anchoring the tower is carried out according to the
type for installation, and must be fixed securely to
the ground, normally with concrete foundations. It
must be totally vertical and leveled to avoid poor
wind turbine functioning.
In the case of shorter-based towers requiring tensile guy cables: once the base is
anchored and the tower is in place, 3 or 4 tensile guy cables are applied, their
supports firmly anchored to the ground, generally in concrete foundations.
Check at all times that your tower remains perfectly vertical.
The guys ropes have to absorb all tower bend in windy conditions. Therefore,
they must be 6-10 mm diameter steel cables.
Attach the guy wires to the highest point of the
tower but always beneath the diameter of the
blades.
Grounding the tower will provide static and
lightning protection for the system. This can be
made by driving cooper wire into the ground
near the tower base and connecting it to the
tower with wire.
We don't recommend the installation of
lighting arrestors near to or within the area
occupied by the
wind turbine.
