Its was over a year and half since it was last inspected . So was well over due inspection
1113
I discovered water in junction box so resealed the lid and drilled a weep hole at bottom of box hopefully will fix problem
1114
And also fitted the automatic greasers set to discharge over a year
1115
The main bearings in the alternator seemed fine so were not touched.
1116
Also the camera system i had monitoring the inverter was replaced with a aurora data logger 1117 the new system is brillant not sure how many of these loggers are fitted to a wind turbine inverter
1118 thanks to Rob for the help and the great price in his sale

Shaun, good to see the datalogger is working out nicely!
How far away from the coast are you? Is salt spray an issue for the turbine?
