AMPAIR 100 WIND GENERATOR

The Ampair 100 is a wind powered generator built up to a standard, not down to a price. Once installed, the Ampair 100 will go a long way towards having an energy independent system and the energy independent system and the energy is generated free and non-polluting! The sleeker, more elegant Ampair 100 retains the proven features of its pre-decessors; simplicity of the design and uncompromised engineering. Driven by 6 cambered and twisted blades, turbine power is directly coupled to the generator. Up to 100 watts of continuous power can be produced by the permanent magnets rotating inside heavy duty windings that safeguard the generator from burn-out and eliminate the need for thermal cut-outs, chokes or 'state-of-the-art-electronics'. Electrical slip-fings and brushes allow the Ampair 100 to seek the wind and feed the simple two-wire battery connection.

PERFORMANCE

The mechanical and electrical design of the Ampair 100 has resulted in the optimum matching of the turbine to the alternator, producing maximum conversion efficiency at normal everyday wind speeds (7-18 knots). The Ampair 100 out-performs its competitors at these windspeeds whilst still giving a safe and continuous output in storm force winds. Not just for cruising yachts, Ampair wind generators can be found on hunting cabins in Scandinavia, beach chalets in Tasmania, radar stations in Finland, and are used for radio repeaters in South Africa, telecommunications in the Falklands, several Antarctic Expeditions, in fact at any location where 12 V or 24 V battery charging is required.

RELIABILITY

Engineered to be smooth running, quiet and vibration-free, the Ampair 100 is designed to survive the severest marine environments. All components are sealed to prevent corrosion.

DIMENSIONS

The Standard Generator is supplied with a 40 mm diameter pivot shaft, 3 metres of output cable and a fitted gland. All poles and brackets are powder coated for long life.
