Safety is crucial when it comes to the small windmills, they are normally mounted close to homes. Therefore, WindEn windmills are always delivered with two, totally independent, braking systems. Furthermore, parts have been carefully chosen from high quality suppliers and all designs include vast safety margins regarding crucial components.
All components are developed to withstand wind speeds far above what has been encountered in Europe, without jeopardizing safety or longevity.
The turbine has several sensors that monitor major functions of the windmill.
All WindEn windmills have a fail-safe spring applied brake and as a safety brake, the blade tip twists to stop the rotation. These two systems work totally independently of each other, making it a very safe functioning windmill.
All major components are manufactured i Northern Europe, at well-known companies, within each different line of business.
