WES30 Safety

First safety system Passive blade pitching
activated by:
  • rotor speed (70 rpm)
Second safety system Yawing out of the wind
activated by
  • rotor speed (>90 rpm)
  • excessive vibrations
  • failure anemometer or wind vane
  • failure in one of IPC’s
  • grid failure
  • other failures

Blocking system
rotor blocking system Parking disk brake on high speed shaft gearbox and pin in high speed shaft of gear box; for service purposes.
