Generates up to 100 watts for 12 V/24 V Battery Systems. Designed to survive the severe marine environment. Heavy duty, all-weather generator, sealed to keep corrosion out. Permanent installation on yacht as fit & forget unit. Found in many other applications such as weekend chalets, radio repeaters, navigation equipment or anywhere that requires 12 V/24 V battery charging. to your batteries.
Performance
Up to 100 watts of power is developed by the permanent magnet alternator. The design allows the charging of totally flat batteries and prevents reverse current flow due to internal rectifiers. The machine has no commutator brushes to wear out and cannot overheat. It requires no thermal cut-outs, chokes or other forms of control to safeguard generator & protect windings from burnout. Slip rings and brush gear allow generator to seek the wind and feed two wires connecting directly to the battery.
Reliability
Especially important for unattended and remote installations. Achieved by extreme simplicity of direct drive alternator and total sealing of internal electrical and mechanical parts. Built to professional standards. Easily outlasts cheap and lightweight alternatives. Offers superior value for money. In ten years of coastal operation, an Ampair Pacific wind generator does as many revolutions as the engine of a car on a one million mile journey!
Size
Optimised for use on yachts, where space is limited and larger units would be unsafe.
Special Features
- Smooth running and quiet balanced sixbladed wind turbine with blades replaceable as matched pairs.
- Fully enclosed and sealed pivot and slip ring assembly allows unlimited weather *bleep*ing.
- Compact tail fin minimises turning radius.
- Shaft seal protects front bearing of generator. All other parts fitted with seals.
- Pivot axis aligned with centre of gravity of unit to minimise effects of yacht motion.
- Charging levels do not appreciably diminish as battery voltage increases.
