2 Safety
2.1 Appropriate Usage
The Windy Boy is a wind power inverter, which converts rectified current of a small wind turbine system
into AC current and feeds this energy into the power distribution grid, domestic grid or the
Sunny Island system.
Principle of a small wind turbine system with Windy Boy
Furthermore, the Windy Boy can be used as an inverter for power conversion units based on the
permanent magnet generators (hydro power systems, combined heat and power plant,
diesel generator, etc.). The manufacturer of the small wind turbine system or the generators should
have his system set up for operation with the Windy Boy (see also the Windy Boy planning guidelines
in the download area at www.SMA.de/en).
SMA Solar Technology AG recommends to operate Windy Boy and a small wind turbine system
without neutral grounding.
When designing the system, ensure that the permitted operating range of all components is
maintained at all times. Also use appropriate protective measures to make sure that the maximum
permissible input voltage of the inverter is not exceeded. Use of the WBP-Box 500-11
Windy Boy Protection Box by SMA Solar Technology AG is obligatory.
Do not use the Windy Boy for purposes other than those described here. Alternative uses,
modifications to the Windy Boy or the installation of components not expressly recommended or sold
by SMA Solar Technology AG void the warranty claims and operation permission.
