This component acts as a switch and is activated by the PLC through the relays.
What is a CONTACTOR.
This device keeps track of the turbines incremental position. Using O degree as a North starting position.
What is the YAW ENCODER.
I transfer signals and low power out to the HUB for the pitch controls.
What is the Slip-Ring.
***********MYSTERY MULTIPLAYER************
This device is attached to the generator slip-ring. It's only function is to keep absolute count for the PLC.

What is the Encoder.
This device is used to remove insulation from single solid or stranded wire.
What are Wire Strippers.
This is another name for a Transformer in the field.
What is a Power Supply.
**************DAILY TRIPLE***************
This device communicates to the PLC which direction the YAW is turning. Clock-wise or Counter Clock-wise.
What are the Proximity sensors.
**************DAILY DOUBLE**************
My brushes are made of this material to transfer high voltage from the rotor.
What is Carbon.
These sensors are RTD's-resistance temperature devices. Located throughout the turbine and cabinets. What do technicians call this sensor?
What is the PT-100's
*********MYSTERY MULTIPLIER**************
What is the connector we will most likely see in the wind turbine. This kit is used for all your wiring terminations to prevent set screws from backing out.

This component controls the ramp-up, ramp-down, and running speed of motors.
What are the VFD's-Variable Frequency Drives.
These are the two types of pitch systems id the wind industry.
What is Hydraulic and Electric pitch systems.
This is the full range of pitch of a wind turbine. O degree to ______ degree pitch.
What is 90 degree pitch.
This sensor is currently used to communicate both wind speed and direction to the PLC.
What is a Sonic/Ultra-Sonic Wind sensor.
This component acts like a switch with overload protection built in.
What is the Overload switch.
*************DAILY DOUBLE***************
This single component communicates both wind speed and direction in one device. Not LIDAR
What is a Sonic/Ultra-Sonic wind sensor.
This is the field name for the temperature sensors throughout the wind turbine cabinets and systems.
What are the PT-100's
**************DAILY DOUBLE****************
This component is used on the main bearing and counts RPM's for the PLC.
What is a Proximity sensors.
**************DAILY TRIPLE****************
A contactor is a system switch activated by the PLC. What leads on the Contactor are the Trigger signal sent to.
What are leads A1 and A2.
What is the maximum the wind turbine can twist is one direction.
What is 2.5 full twists or rotations.
This component measures and monitors vibrations for the PLC.
What are the Vibration Transducers.
This sensor is used to stop a turbine and allow the shadow to pass a homestead before starting back up preventing strobing or Flicker Effect.
What is a Shadow Detector.
Which CAT rating would the PMT-Pad Mount Transformers fall into.
This component has it's amperage rating on the handle.
What is a BREAKER.
**************DAILY DOUBLE***************
These components hold the turbine to the monopole as well as brakes for the Yaw system.
