Dual Windseeker 503 Wirerun [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Right. Things would get mighty interesting if the outputs of un-rectified
WT's were connected together!
Of course they could also be rectified at some distance from the tower to
cut down on line loss (if indeed they aren't rectified at the turbine),
that's the preferred method if long distance is involved with some other
turbines that I work with. Just what is the arrangement with these two
Windseekers?
