The Kiss Extractor™ has a Stop/Run manual switch before the rectifier. It is built into the controller circuitry. You can manually stop the Silent
Wind unit with this switch. Since the Kiss has greater output potential than the Silent
Wind, the manual switch is more than capable of handling the job.
For the Kiss
wind generator, the Kiss Extractor™ flawlessly stops the
wind generator. automatically. There has never been a runaway wind
generator incident reported. The electronic Stop has even greater capacity than the manual switch.
The main reason for the manual switch is for situations where rotation of the blades is undesirable. For example, when the
boat is in a
lift or in a marina, the blades should be stopped from rotating. Also, if the Kiss is disconnected from a
battery, the Kiss Extractor™ manual switch should always be in the Stop position.
