SuzieW...thanks for the additional info. I see why your wind gen is not so hot for producing amps. Here's the power curve:
It just produces 1 or 2 amps at 10 knots which is what you get most often. Compare to some other curves at 10 knots and you'll see what I mean:
As you can see...4winds, kiss and windbugger all produce 100-200% more amps at "anchorage wind speeds". My 4 winds went thorugh 1 hurricane and two tropical storms with no issues simply by tying off the blades to the pole. Anyway...don't expect you will change your setup as you are getting everything you need...but it is instructive for those considering different models. Thanks!
