Rutland wind turbine 913 – suitable for boats and caravans alike. These units are commonly seen on many marinas and caravan site, along with the 514 units which are used on the road side operating traffic signs. For the DIYer, the Rutland wind turbine unit is easy to install and wire, and also both units are generally kept in stock for immediate collection or delivery. 913 Wind Generator 12v Turbine 2.4 mtr mounting Kit HRSi Charge Regulator Features • Quiet in operation – every turbine is finely balanced to ensure smooth rotation • Low friction flywheel effect generator just keeps on turning when other wind generators stall • Low wind speed start up of just 5 knots • Generates 90w @ 19 knots, 24w @ 10 knots, delivers up to 250w • One way only fit fine profile efficient aerofoil blades are unique in the industry • Three phase Rutland “unique” generator design • Latest product improvement! - The “post adapter” (the spigot that slots into the pole) is now distinctively blue anodised to prevent oxidisation with the pole. • Sealed for life bearings • Brushless alternator with fixed shaft requires no maintenance • The alternator’s windings and magnets are encapsulated in glass fibre. • Built in slipring & low wear brushes give the unit complete 360º free rotation on the mounting pole. • Automatic thermostat protection in prolonged gales • Modern, durable materials for reliability on the high seas • No radiated interference - complies with EEC Directive BS EN 89/336/EEC • Available in 12V Marine On-Board Mounting Kits Marlec’s 913 Marine Mounting Kit is manufactured from stainless steel and is supplied in 2 x 1.2m sections that join. Deck fixing L shaped plates are supplied along with brackets to which guys or stays should be attached. Solid stays are recommended to provide a suitably rigid mount for the windcharger. HRSi Charge Regulator NEW for 2008 Marlec’s HRSi Charge Regulator once again leads the small wind turbine industry in technolo
Are they noisy? It depends on the individual product design. Factors that affect noise are aerofoil blade profiles and the speed range within which the turbine operates. Turbines with fewer blades have a higher tip speed ratio, ie run faster, and this contributes to aerodynamic noise, that’s the swishing sound that can sometimes be heard. Small turbines rarely have complicated and noisy gearboxes. How many kilowatts will it produce? Of course this depends on the diameter of the turbine and the generator’s efficiency but the great thing about wind power is that it is subject to the cube law. This means that by doubling the turbine diameter the power that can be theoretically produced is 8 times. How do I install it and wire it up myself? Micro wind turbines for battery charging are generally designed to be simple enough to assemble and self-install ensuring that costs are kept to a minimum. On land a tower is installed, it can be self supporting or a guyed tower, in either case a hinged base is advisable for long term servicing. In the case of Marlec a range of mounting kits specific to using the turbines on land or mounted on board a yacht are available. DC electrical systems are low in voltage and simple to work with, only positive and negative cables but general safety precautions should still be observed. Electrical connection is usually made to the battery via a voltage regulator and in small systems these are normally designed to be self installed. In the case of turbines connected to the grid a qualified electrician must be employed.
