Whisper 500 wind curve

[SolarMusher]

Hi,
Is there a power curve that could be used for a 5 years Whisper 500 3kw Wind turbine, I've a customer who would need to replace a broken Southwest controller to make it work? If not, maybe another idea?
Thanks,
Erik

I have exactly the same issue....a customer who needs to replace a SWWP  EZ-Fire controller on an H500...
And is also wondering if it's worth it to buy a Classic for another H500 where the controller is OK, just wants to see an increase in output from MPPT.

Hi Dan,
It seems to be the Whisper 500 season  .

Is this an EOL situation ??

Eric, what does EOL mean ?

I don't know, this whisper is located at 800km from me, too far to control what's wrong with it. The only thing I know is that there wasn't any surge protectors and just one ground rod installed at the base of the tower. Obviously, it's seems to be a surge problem.
Eric, I'm French (from europe) so I could be slow... sometimes  .

800 Km, wow, that is some service call!   You really do want to  make sure you have everything with you, including the kitchen sink...

Do you think there is any hope of repairing it or replace?

If had it closer, I'm pretty sure I could make things work but for I won't drive such a distance just to control it and drink a coffee. I checked it on Google and it was 760km, 1500km round trip.

40/800 = +- 5% variance, well within our confidence limits??  I would bet that you will be becoming very familiar with all the bumps in that road  -> /\ <-   -> /\ <-  -> /\ <-.... repeat...

Maybe you need a chopper? and Santa Claus

Thanks for the curve, Mr. Fingers !

I think we have a curve stored in the Classic MNGP but can't remember if this is the same or not.
