So FIL has turbines on his property. The ones here have a padmount XFMR stepping up the voltage leaving the turbine. I'm assuming the head is generating 3phase 480v down the tube?? and the padmount is stepping up to 14.4v???? To the substation.
The 2nd phase of the wind farm just got installed here in Fluvanna. These new turbines have no XFMR at the base of them. Where is the bump coming from? Are they converting in the head with a dry cell XFMR? Are they sending primary voltage down the tube?
The new ones are very different then the existing ones.... just not sure how they are getting the AC voltage to the sub.
