The FM 1803 delivers up to 750 watts of power from its efficient alternator, and uses the same furling technology as the smaller 910 turbine to prevent damage to the turbine in wind speeds of over 35 mph. Suitable applications include off-grid homes, telemetry stations, telecom sites, radio/tv transmitter stations, rural clinics for refrigeration and lighting, meteorological stations, security systems, navigation aids, portable power for expeditions and military field applications - pretty much anywhere where there is enough wind but no mains power!
The price includes 24 volt control gear for the turbine, which is needed to convert the 3-phase power from the turbine alternator into regulated 24 volts DC for battery charging. The turbine can also be used on 12 volt systems by using the equivalent 12 volt control gear - the turbine unit is the same for both systems.
