400W Wind Generator
In 1986 Southwest Windpower set out to develop a low cost reliable
wind turbine to meet the needs of small independent power systems and work well in
conjunction with solar electric modules for battery charging. Today, tens of
thousands of their turbines are operating around the world, powering remote homes, water
pumping, telecommunications stations and sail boats.
The AIR403 is a revolutionary new concept in wind turbine
technology. The strong carbon-fiber reinforced blades and advanced airfoil achieve
higher output and reduced noise compared to the earlier AIR303 that it replaces.
Other improvements include: only two moving parts, maintenance free design, variable pitch
airfoil, aluminum alloy aircraft-grade castings with integral heat sink, brushless
permanent magnet alternator and improved regulator. Its high power output and
maintenance-free reliability make it ideal for use in remote locations. It has a
built-in "smart" regulator that can handle peaks of over 750 watts and tapers
the charge to trickle and rotor to a silent spin when the batteries are full. AIR's
small size and light weight make it easy to mount on pole towers, eliminating the need for
sophisticated towers. The AIR403 is suitable for winds up to 100 mph. UL
Listed and CE Certified. Made in USA.
