TAOS1000 TOWER INFORMATION

ROPE GUYED TOWER

The ROPE GUYED TOWER is the most user friendly tower since it is economical, easy to install, and allows for easy maintenance of wind machine. We recommend tower project for TAOS1000 as following.

Tower pipe :
outer diameter 57mm; wall thickness 3.5mm, 5m in length for each section.

Structure and dimensions of upper section of tower :

TAOS1000 wind turbine powerhead is supplied with an adapter-pipe as shown in left figure. And the structure and dimensions are shown in right figure. It is strongly recommended to arrange the guy rope joint as shown in figure.

Foundation:
Tower base foundation: Any soil type is applicable and the base could be secured with stakes driven into the ground.

Four guy rope anchors: Buried concrete anchor is recommended for any situation other than solid rock. An example is shown in figure. The volume of each concrete should be greater

STAND-ALONE TOWER
Stand-alone tower has the advantage of no guy ropes so that it may be the best option for places where ground space is limited or for admiring sight. Mono-tube tower, tapered-tube tower, and lattice tower are available for stand-alone tower. We recommend tower project of mono-tube and tapered-tube for TAOS1000 as following.
