Technical Description
Safety precautions
2 Safety precautions
2.1 Appropriate usage
The Protection Box comprises a rectifier and overvoltage protection. The Protection Box's rectifier
converts the variable AC voltage of a Small Wind Energy System into DC voltage, and uses this to
power the Windy Boy. The integrated overvoltage protection safeguards the Windy Boy against
overvoltage damage.
The Protection Box has a nominal power of 6 kW, a maximum input voltage range of 500 V AC
and a maximum phase current of 11.5 A. The integrated overvoltage protection limits the DC
voltage to 400 / 500 / 600 V DC, depending on the type of Protection Box.
The suitability of a Small Wind Energy System for the Protection Box primarily depends on the type,
output voltage and output current of the Small Wind Energy System. In this regard, observe the limits
specified by the manufacturer.
The Protection Box is only suitable for use with original SMA accessories, or with accessories
recommended by SMA.
Appropriate usage also includes observing all documentation relating to this device and its
components.
Technical Description
WBP-TEN081110
Safety precautions
A maximum of three Windy Boys may be connected to a Protection Box. The different combinations
should be born in mind.
The following combinations are recommended by SMA:
WBP Box 400
max. 3 x
Windy Boy 1100
max. 2 x
Windy Boy 2500
max. 2 x
Windy Boy 1700
max. 2 x
Windy Boy 2800i
max. 2 x
Windy Boy 3000
All work on the Protection Box must be carried out by a qualified electritian.
CAUTION!
Danger of burn injuries due to hot housing parts.

4.1 Selection of the mounting location
DANGER!
Danger to life due to fire or explosion.
The housing of the Protection Box can become hot during operation.
Do not mount the Protection Box in areas where highly flammable materials are
stored.
Do not mount the Protection Box in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
CAUTION!
Danger of burn injuries due to hot housing parts!
Mount the Protection Box in such a way that it cannot be touched inadvertently during
operation.
NOTICE!
The Windy Boy could be irreparably damaged by overvoltage.
If the load resistor is installed opposite the Protection Box on the other side of the wall,
the functionality of the Protection Box will be impaired. In this case the Protection Box can
no longer protect the Windy Boy against overvoltage.

Commissioning
6 Commissioning
Check the following requirements before commissioning:
Commissioning procedure
1.
Commission the Windy Boy as described in the wind power inverter manual.
2.
3.
Once sufficient DC voltage is generated by the wind turbine, a green LED lights up to indicate
that the turbine is in operation. If this is the case, commissioning was completed successfully.
If both LEDs (red and green) light up, the Protection Box is limiting overvoltage. This occurs
because the Windy Boy needs a few minutes before it begins feeding power into the grid.
After a few minutes the red LED goes out.
