Nothing wrong with that fuse board in my opinion for solar use
but always remember that a turbine always needs to be loaded or
you are asking for a disaster.....in other words I would
personally connect a turbine direct to a battery and not through
a fuse that could potentially blow (If a bridge rectifier was to
blow out then you would likely just be sending a voltage and
current up to the stator).
In my opinion it is better to flatten a battery than lose
control of that turbine.
I think the blade fuses are a good choice.

Yep. I have seen VAWTs totally blow up when unloaded. Never
lost one when direct connected. I don't want to scare anyone
though. Typically what happens to a VAWT when something breaks
is it immediately slows down and the offending part dangles.
The one that really blew up had long unsupported helical
fiberglassed blades and when one broke the whole structure was
damaged all at once.

Not sure a 'hot water heat element as a load' will have a low
enough resistance to act as a load on its own.
Not sure if you realise but you will need a separate load
controller with a dump load for a turbine. Under no
circumstances use a solar controller for a turbine. It will end
up in tears if you do. :'(

VDR or a TVS....Is this a new space age product ? ;D and will

so @ness an @cg i knew it needed a dump load & charge controller
are you making your own? an i know in high winds you have to
short to put breaks on is to slow..

i m worried about putting the breaks on to stop or slow down an
dump the load ..when it is to high..to stop from overcharging
batteries etc.... in high wind an i do get high wind.... good
video on stresses
