Will the turbine have an impact on TV and radio
reception?
The Iskra AT5-1 wind turbine is unlikely to disrupt
TV and radio signals as it is a refined design specifically meeting the
requirements of a small scale renewable energy source. The materials
used to make the Iskra turbine are unlikely to create electromagnetic
interference (EMI) by "chopping up" a signal.
Any problems should be identified in the planning
process and Iskra Wind Turbines will ensure that appropriate advice is
given as to the best possible location for your turbine.
How noisy is the AT5-1 wind turbine?
The AT5-1 has been designed to be very quiet indeed.
The rotor design and in particular, the low rotor tip speed, coupled
with the direct drive system (no gearbox), all ensure quiet operation.
As a general rule, the nearest neighbouring residents to the wind
turbine should be more than 100m away from the wind turbine base The
sound from the wind turbine is however gentle in tone, and it would be
quite reasonable to locate the wind turbine less than 75m from your home
.
Will I have a problem with ‘flicker’ from the turbine
blades?
Potentially, reflection from the blades, or the
shadow from the blades in the rising and setting sun, causes a
flickering effect. The design and coatings used on the turbine have been
selected to minimise the reflection problem. The possibility of the
shadow from the wind turbine causing flickering should be considered at
the site selection stage. It is normally possible to avoid this problem.
