[RE-wrenches] Anyone heard of Tesup?

[Dan Fink]

I've replaced a few Tesup wind turbine "controllers" with real
Xantrex/Morningstar diversion load controllers + dump loads for remote, off
grid folks. Vastly undersized power electronics, heat sinks, and terminal
blocks, a fire waiting to happen. The turbine guts are crudely made, some
work, others fail quickly. Avoid!
