[QUOTE="anorlunda, post: 5442443, member: 455902"] Welcome to PF. Since your electronics skills are low, I think that you should consider a micro switch that would be triggered by centrifugal force of the speed gets too high. That approach is more direct because overspend is what you are trying to protect against. In fact you could make an all mechanical brake. You did not say how big your wind turbine is. Depending on the size, this simple fishing reel centrifugal brake might work.
