Description
This is a 3-Phase Permanent Magnet Generator.. It is designed to work at 1200 to 2500 watts output, for charging batteries in Home Power systems. Note that this is a 3-Phase, AC generator and you need to purchase your own 3-phase full wave rectifier to convert the AC output to DC for charging batteries, from 24 to 48 VDC after your rectifier bridge. You can find 3-phase rectifiers and Charge Controllers on eBay from companies like Coleman Air. It is a "Y" connected winding and the Neutral is not brought out of the generator.PM Generator ME1603
It comes with an aluminum Adapter to fit our Pelton Wheel, Model ME0903 (
the wheel is not included in this auction
). The generator uses 12 Ceramic Magnets and has over 85% efficiency, much higher than a standard car alternator which is usually 60%.
Designed for use on your own Pico Hydro Projects. You will also need to build a water box and add a nozzle, plus you will need a 3-phase full wave rectifier and a charge controller, plus a Turgo or Pelton Wheel.
Easily provides 1200 watts of power with one nozzle, 2500 watts with two nozzles. With one 3/4 inch nozzle and 28 PSI (65 feet), 80 gallons per minute, it provides 500 watts output. You can add up to 4 nozzles.
The output voltage is directly proportional to the speed. A speed of 1200 rpm minimum is required to charge 24 VDC batteries. Double the speed and you get double the voltage. Remember that as the generator is loaded, you will need to keep the speed at 1200 rpm to provide 1200 watts.
This is a very durable generator and there are no brushes to wear-out. The shaft is stainless steel, and there is a bearing seal on the shaft.
Shipping weight of 17 pounds. Comes in corrugated box measuring 10 x 10 x 10 inches.
