600W 24V wind turbine with 3 blades and tail furling mechanism

This 600W 24V wind turbine provides a reliable source of electricity for all types of off-grid applications. The three blade construction optimises this wind turbine for use in areas with moderate to high wind speeds. Ideal locations include open fields, coastal areas, and areas of high ground, such as hills or mountainous regions. It is suitable for both stationary applications (remote, off-grid, backup) as well as for mobile use (e.g. boats).

This wind turbine is also the perfect addition to any solar charging kit to supplement energy production (particularly useful for charging at night time or in countries with reduced winter sunlight).

This wind turbine has been specifically engineered to maximise power generation whilst ensuring optimum safety. In addition to the standard breaking and safety features, this wind turbine also includes an innovative aerodynamic tail furling mechanism, which forces the blades of the turbine to turn away from excessive incoming wind to prevent damage to the generator.

Key features

This 600W 24V wind turbine is expertly designed to provide stable and reliable power in all wind conditions. Important characteristics include

- Robust design: The casing of this turbine is made of strong cast aluminium alloy to ensure long-lasting use in harsh conditions.

- 3 blade construction: Optimised design for medium and high wind speeds, making it the perfect turbine for open and coastal areas

- Tail furling safety mechanism: In abnormally high wind conditions, the turbine will pivot the blades to face away from the wind. This reduces their speed of rotation, preventing any damage to the turbine such as excessive strain to the blades or generator overheating. The blades will be automatically repositioned once a safe wind speed is detected.

- Aerodynamic optimisation: The blades are optimally shaped for maximum efficiency and protection from strong winds.

- Automatic wind detection: The tail vane automatically seeks out the best wind direction and re-orients the turbine accordingly.

- Patented permanent magnet AC generator: Features a special stator for effortless operation with minimal blade resistance.

- Easy installation: Assembly of the turbine is extremely straightforward and requires minimal effort.

A dditional considerations

The maximum output of this wind turbine is not strictly limited to a specific power rating. Although this wind turbine is rated to produce 600W at a wind speed of 8 metres per second, when exposed to strong winds it has the potential to exceed its nominal rating.

This wind turbine produces three-phase AC output and therefore requires a triple wire connection to a suitable charge controller .

A suitable pole for mounting is required (not included). Pole recommendations can be found in the Installation tab.

Installation and assembly of this wind turbine is extremely simple. For full information, please refer to the detailed user manual supplied with this product (see Documents tab).

Please note that this wind turbine requires connection to a suitable charge controller in order to charge a battery.

This wind turbine requires a mounting pole, which is not included. The base of the wind turbine features a flange connector which can be bolted to a suitable pole. We recommend using a metal pole for mounting (e.g. a scaffolding pole) rather than poles made of timber or plastic, which may pose a safety hazard.
