Berkshire-based Ampair has unveiled a new 6kW x 5.5m turbine, the latest in a long line of reliable, rugged and quiet wind generators. This impressive turbine recently won the prestigious Rushlight Windpower Award 2008 and the company is now accepting orders via its distributors.
The new machine has a rotor diameter of 5.5m and is ideal for supplying power to remote farms or rural houses, telecoms systems, public buildings, schools or industrial infrastructure, either offshore or onshore, for 230V grid connection or for 48V battery charging.
Like all Ampair turbines, it is manufactured from high-quality marine grade materials, making it particularly suited to remote, coastal or cold-weather applications. In keeping with the company’s quality ethos, the new turbine is designed to be compliant with the IEC 61400-2 standard, which means it can be easily and safely installed worldwide. It is a fully sealed unit that does not require costly annual servicing.
A range of mast options is available. As with all turbines, more height gives greater power because of the increase in wind speed, so Ampair can supply masts from 10m to 30m in a variety of styles including monopole or lattice; guyed or unguyed.
The price for the grid connected 230V system on a 10m mast is just £13,500+VAT (correct at June 2009).
The new Ampair 6000 fits neatly into a slot in the market which Ampair has been working to fill for several years to satisfy the rising demand for a turbine of this size made to Ampair’s high standards.
