WINDY BOY PROTECTION BOX

Optimal protection for small wind power plants

Rectifier and overvoltage protection – the Windy Boy Protection Box from SMA is multitalented: it protects the inverter from excessive generator voltage, while at the same time, it diverts excess power into a load resistor. In addition, the Windy Boy Protection Box features a 3-phase rectifier. It is delivered as a turnkey unit and can be used with nearly all types of generators from various manufacturers and with different power classes. This makes the Windy Boy Protection Box the optimal solution for wind power plants, but it also provides the perfect link between permanent magnet generators and the inverter.
