The Rutland 913 Windcharger  

 

Rutland 913 WindchargerThis streamlined upgrade of the original 910 Rutland Windcharger uses a uniquely designed high inertia three phase generator and aerofoil  blades to give a high, smooth and quiet output.

 

Their high efficiency and reliability (3 year maintenance period) make them the ideal power source for a wide variety of applications.

FM913 Windspeed chart

 

  • Rating: 80 W in a 22 mph (10 m/s) wind

  • Voltage: 12 or 24 volts DC

  • Rotor Diameter: 0.91m

  • Cut In Windspeed: 5.8 mph (2.6 m/s)

 

 

Charging commences at very low windspeeds (5.8 mph/2.2m/s) yet the windcharger is protected in strong winds.

 

Marine grade materials and stainless steel fastenings used throughout.  Fits on 41cm inside diameter tubing or 40mm medium gauge galvanised pipe.

The FM910-3 Furlmatic

 

FM910-3 FurlmaticThe FM910-3 Furlmatic is a high wind site version designed for professional and industrial users: A furling  tail turns turbine out of winds above 35 mph (16 m/s) to protect the system in gales.

 

Robust mechanical design combined with the latest 3 phase generator makes it the ideal battery charger for low energy applications.  Recommended for exposed or unattended sites.FM910-3 Furlmatic windspeed chart

Marlec FM 1803

 

Ideal for remote homes, smallholdings, wind/diesel systems and telecommunications.

 

FM 1803FM 1803 windspeed chart

  • Rating: 340 W in a 22 mph (10 m/s) wind.

  • Voltage: 12 or 24 volts DC.

  • Rotor Diameter: 1.87m

  • Cut In Windspeed: 6 mph (3 m/s).

 

 

 

 

This powerful battery charger can provide a steady power supply for remote dwellings & telecommunication sites etc.  It incorporates the following features:

 

Robust two bladed turbine commences charging at 3.0 m/s (6 mph ) windspeed.

Charges up to 700 watts at windspeeds of up to 15 m/s (33 mph).  As windspeed increases above this, a furling tail progressively turns the turbine out of the wind, thus reducing stress in the blades, generator and supporting structure to ensure long term reliability.

Aerofoil blades combine an efficient profile with a durable composite glass fibre construction. These are coupled to a unique disc type brushless generator with a high degree of inertia that keeps the turbine spinning between gusts of wind to maintain a steady charge into the batteries.

 

Can be used in hybrid systems with photovoltaic modules for balanced year round supply or to reduce diesel generator run times.

 

The FM 1803 Furlmatic Windcharger is available in 12 or 24 V versions and comes complete with a sophisticated controller. It starts to generate power in the lightest breezes yet is protected in high winds for reliable, efficient performance.

Product Code:   FM-1803/12 (12v)     FM-1803/24  (24v)

 

MPC1 Controller

 

FM 1803 MPC1 ControllerThis automatic controller is positioned near to the battery store. It uses micro-processors to improve stability and power output and features:

 

Overcharge protection by stalling the turbine as batteries become fully charged.

 

Power matching under varying wind conditions. This minimises transmission losses and volt drop enabling turbine and battery store to be sited further apart if need be. Includes high & low windspeed modes.

 

Manual stall (brake) switch.

 

LCD digital display to show: battery voltage; charge in amps or watts; low or full battery indication; low wind mode; high wind mode or stall. LED indicators show operating mode & warnings.

Temperature compensation ensures battery voltage switching points are adjusted automatically according to ambient temperature to maintain optimum battery charging.

 

 

Product Code:   FM-1803/12 (12v)  

 

 

Towers

 

The FM 1803 mounts onto 81mm internal & 91mm external diameter tube.

Tilt-up guyed; lattice or freestanding towers are all suitable depending upon terrain, height and application.
