Technical Specifications Parameter Value Battery Voltage 12V Min. Wind Generator Capacity 100W Max. Wind Generator Capacity 300W Wind Generator Braking Voltage 15V Wind Generator Recovery Voltage 13.5V Display Mode LED Ambient Temperature -35~+75℃ Dimensions (L x W x H) 100 x 87 x 28 mm Weight 300g Quiescent Current ≤15 mA IP Protection Level IP67 Charging & Battery Modes Mode/Function Description Battery Charging Converts three-phase AC from the wind generator into DC power for charging 12V lead-acid batteries. Automatic Braking Engages when the battery reaches 15V (braking voltage) to prevent overcharging and protect the battery. Brake Recovery Disengages braking and resumes charging when battery voltage drops to 13.5V (recovery voltage). Wind Turbine Protection Intelligent braking also activates during high wind speeds to prevent potential damage to the wind generator. Typical Applications Application Description Off-Grid Power Systems Ideal for managing wind power in remote cabins, sheds, or small off-grid homes. Marine & RV Setups Suitable for boats, yachts, caravans, and motorhomes requiring reliable 12V battery charging from wind. Small Scale Wind Farms Manages individual 12V wind turbines within larger decentralised power generation projects. Backup Power Systems Integrates into systems where wind power supplements solar or grid power for enhanced resilience. Built-In Protection Functions The Photonic Universe FW03-12 wind charge controller incorporates advanced safety features to protect your system. These include intelligent automatic braking to prevent battery overcharging and safeguard the wind turbine during high winds. • The robust IP67 rating ensures comprehensive protection against dust and water, allowing for reliable operation in challenging outdoor environments. Common Questions What type of batteries is this controller compatible with? This controller is designed for use with 12V lead-acid batteries. Ensure your battery bank matches this voltage for proper operation. Can this controller be installed outdoors? Yes, with an IP67 waterproof rating, the FW03-12 is fully protected against dust and water, making it suitable for outdoor mounting and operation in various weather conditions. How does the automatic braking function work? The controller automatically applies braking to the wind turbine when the battery reaches its full charge voltage (15V) to prevent overcharging. It also activates braking during high wind speeds to protect the turbine from damage. What wind turbine sizes are compatible? This controller is compatible with 12V wind turbines ranging from a minimum capacity of 100W to a maximum of 300W. Installation Notes Ensure the wind generator's output voltage matches the battery's rated voltage (12V). Connect battery positive and negative terminals to the controller first, then connect the three-phase wind generator cables. Always follow the wiring sequence provided in the instruction manual to prevent damage. Mount the controller in a location that allows for adequate air circulation, even with its waterproof design. Consult a qualified installer if you are unsure about any part of the installation process. Before You Buy Verify your wind turbine's power output is between 100W and 300W and operates at 12V.
