Ampair 6000 watt 48 volt wind turbine

 

The impressive Ampair 6000 watt 48 volt turbine won the prestigious Rushlight Windpower Award in 2008.

  

The Ampair 6000 48v turbine has a rotor diameter of 5.5 m and is ideal for supplying power to remote farms or rural houses, public buildings, schools or industrial infrastructure.

  

Like all Ampair turbines, it is manufactured from high quality marine grade materials making it particularly suited to remote, coastal or cold-weather applications and in keeping with the company's quality ethos; is designed to be compliant with the IEC 61400-2 standard for a Class I turbine. This means it can be easily and safely installed worldwide. It is a fully sealed unit that does not require costly annual servicing.

  

A range of mast options is available (to be purchased separately). As with all turbines, more height gives greater power because of the increase in wind speed.

 

The Ampair 6000 48v is equipped with a 48 volt battery interface inverter-charger that has the ability to accept an additional 1kW of PV solar power through the same device. This inverter makes the turbine suitable for use as a UPS energy source in some situations, and also provides diesel generator control. This system is ideal for remote mini-grids, where common connection of devices to the AC bus consolidates your system components into an elegant solution to remote power system design and control
