600 wind turbine.

24 V battery charging or 230 V grid connection

The Ampair 600 is the latest micro wind turbine from Ampair. Built on the same platform as the renowned Ampair 100 and the newer Ampair 300 it has a 1.7m diameter blade optimized for low and medium speed winds. It incorporates the PowerFurl™ system first seen in the Ampair 300 which slows the turbine down in high winds, reducing noise and mounting system loads. It is available in two versions depending on whether the need is for high capacity 24V battery charging or for 230V grid connection. It can be used on land or on larger vessels and, like all Ampair products, is built to full marine grade specifications.

600W battery charge wind turbine.

The Ampair 600-24 is a small wind turbine with 1.7m diameter blades that can be used with 24V DC battery systems.This battery charge version includes the turbine ‘head’ plus the regulator. It also needs an appropriate

24V battery bank to store the energy and suitable 24V loads.

600W grid tie wind turbine

The Ampair 600-230 is a small wind turbine with 1.7m diameter blades that can be used to feed power back into the 230V mains electrical supply so that the premises need to purchase less power from the grid. This grid-tie system includes the turbine ‘head’ plus the necessary G83 inverter. A mounting system and installation services are also required, and monitoring systems are available for educational use.

monitoring systems

The powerful combination of the Ampair 600 with an anemometer, a wind vane and a data logger brings renewables generation alive. Using a standard network port and internet connection, the logger uploads energy and weather data automatically to the

Ampair Net website for sharing of by authorised users, such as teachers, pupils and facilities managers, of performance & CO2 graphs.

Price includes 3-year website hosting fee.

See www.ampair.com/ampair/ampnet.asp for an example.

• BS EN 61400 part 2 (1996): Wind turbine generator systems: Design requirements of small wind systems

• BS EN IEC 60335-1 (1994): Safety Of Household Electrical

Appliances

• LV Directive 73/23/EC: EU Low Voltage Directive

• WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC: EU Waste Electrical & Electronic

Substances Directive

• EMC Directive 89/336/EC: EU Electromagnetic Compatibility

Directive.

1. Power Curves and Annual Energy: The performance of wind turbine systems is impossible to predict with any certainty due to the variability in the wind from location to location and from year to year. These estimates are based upon the best available information but are given as guidance only and should not be considered as a guarantee. For a greater level of certainty we would recommend on-site wind speed monitoring for at least a year.

2. Variation: All values are nominal as there will be some variation in manufactured product.

3. Lifetime: Expected safe operational life excluding consumable items. Actual life will depend on local conditions. Note warranty period is different.

4. Terms and conditions apply

5. Specifications subject to change.
