Re: KISS wind generator controllers??

The KISS generally runs without a controller, the box that comes with it is a rectifier (the generator itself produces AC) and a switch that shorts the windings to stall the blades.

If a controller is needed/desired it is intended to run with a divert load controller that sends excess power 'somewhere'. A straight PWM or similar controller will allow the blades to freewheel during the 'off' cycles.
