LE-v50 Extreme Wind Turbine

Description

The GA-LETU-020-12V is the definitive solution for powering remote and critical systems in more hostile climates. It was originally designed for industrial monitoring in places where conventional power is not an option and environmental conditions are severe.

Applications

  • Industrial Monitoring: Powering data-logging, telemetry, and security systems in remote arctic, desert, and mountainous regions.
  • Off-Grid Systems: Providing a consistent and reliable power source to supplement solar panels in locations with long periods of darkness or low sunlight.
  • Telecommunications: Powering repeater stations and communication equipment in isolated, weather-prone areas.
  • Scientific Research: Ideal for powering sensors and equipment in harsh climate research stations.

Features

  • Extreme Weather Performance: Engineered to operate reliably in temperatures down to -40°C and withstand wind speeds up to 80 mph.
  • Silent & Safe: The turbine operates silently and the rotor’s design is inherently safe, automatically limiting its RPM to prevent damage or injury, even when running off-load.
  • Durable & Reliable: Manufactured from high-quality, hard-anodized aluminum and stainless steel for maximum durability. Its design life is over 20 years, with minimal maintenance due to its single moving part and sealed bearings.
  • Compact & Lightweight: Weighing only 9kg with a 270mm rotor diameter, it’s easy to install in challenging, remote locations where space is limited.
  • 12V Output: Provides a stable 12V output, ideal for powering critical electronic systems in harsh environments.
  • Low Wind Performance: Starts generating power in low winds with a cut-in speed of 5 m/s, using a specially designed low-inertia alternator.
