Wind Turbine Generator Query

Hi,

I recently went into wind turbine as a project and I ordered a chinese wind turbine generators with charge controller.

Generator Ratings:
Rated Voltage: 240Vac
Rated Power: 1kW
Rated RPM: 140 RPM
I believe it is these ones right here - https://www.greefenergy.com/post/74

The charge controller was rated: 3kW.
it is this one - http://en.win-power.com/product/display2371.html

I haven't installed the generator to the turbine yet since I want to see and understand the system (about generators and charge controller) and how it is operating and functioning.
In a way, I'm just experimenting on it.

I think I have my setup correct as per their manual.
I checked inside the charge controller and it does have a rectifier for the generator's cable.

The problem is I am manually rotating the generator, so it generates some voltage but once it reaches the RPM and Voltage where supposedly the charge controllers allows it to draw current (if I understand MPPT and this charge controller) the generator experiences too much counter torque (I think) and it just stalls.

Also even if I connect the generator to a single rectifier then directly to the battery, it's already hard to rotate the damn thing.
I have tried a resistor as well in one and all three phases of the generator, it jams the whole thing.

I have also played with the MPPT curve parameter setting on the controller, it has 30 voltage points to set the power or current in. At any point where I give any power or current value, the moment I start rotating the generator then it reaches that point, it stalls.

I literally cannot get any current from this generator, using charge controller or directly to battery or resistor.
What might be the reason for this generator not being able to let any load/current be drawn from it?

Thank you.
