• Test emergency shut down (See Section 9.3.8)
• Test low wind shut down (See Section 9.3.9)
It is a good idea to observe the wind turbine running under normal conditions to verify its correct
operation. After it has been observed in normal winds, it may be signed off and formally
commissioned.
8.2 Generator Test
Each generator should be run briefly to determine proper phase rotation. The test can be carried
out during commissioning by rotor jogging the wind turbine briefly and observing the rotation of
the main shaft. If the phase rotation is correct the turbine will rotate counter clockwise when
looking upwind. If the direction of rotation is incorrect, any two of the phase leads should be
changed over and the test repeated. The only wires to be changed in the control box are the
phase leads to the turbine, TB2.
