Installation

The WS-series wind turbines are supported by guy wires on four sides.  Eyebolts are embedded in concrete blocks and attached to the guy wires.  The wind turbine mast sits on a pivot point attached to a moderately-sized concrete foundation.

To erect the wind turbine, the mast is attached to the base with the wind turbine supported so that it is not resting on the ground.  The guy wires are adjusted to their approximate length on three sides.  On the fourth side, a long guy wire is run through the eyelet in its ground attachment.  A fifth wire is run from the mast's guy line support, over an A-frame lever arm, and attached to a tractor or winch.  The tractor or winch slowly pulls the wind turbine to the vertical.  Then, all guy wires are tighted until they are snug, but not overly taut.
