I have been thinking about a 400V 3-phase generator like this: DC input is +340VDC, GND/Neutral, and -330VDC Switching stages are one pair IGBT(or something) for each phase, conecting to +, -, or both off. The wind generator charges large lead batteries. For best performance i connect series of batteries to achieve the named voltages above (lowest loss, cheapest, and best peak power), but it is very lethal *:( Safer to use a 48 or 60V battery configuration and a push-pull converter to get high voltage DC... /Morgan / Morgan Olsson, MORGANS REGLERTEKNIK, SE-277 35 KIVIK, Sweden \ \ mrt@iname.com, ph: +46 (0)414 70741; fax +46 (0)414 70331 /
