Fw: New Topic MPPT and wind power [RE-wrenches]

[Christopher Freitas - OutBack Power]

I have tested PWM and MPPT type controllers with both the Southwest Air 
turbines and Harris Hydro Turbines and you can not "disconnect" them 
momentarily - the stored energy in the windings (i.e. inductance) will 
cause the voltage to shoot up very high and will certainly damage the RV 
solar products Solar Boost controller instantly.  

A MPPT type controller for a wind turbine will have to be different than 
a PV MPPT controller.  They are just too different type of power 
sources.  One can be open circuited while the other should be shorted.
