Rutland FM910-3 Furlmatic Windcharger

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Rutland FM910-3 Furlmatic Windcharger is a versatile and efficient battery charger designed for land-based applications, providing reliable power generation worldwide. It combines robust mechanical design with advanced 3-phase generator technology.
Technical Features and Benefits:
  • Efficient power conversion with high inertia alternator designs that maintain momentum between gusts, generating more ampere hours than larger turbines.
  • Low cost per watt due to manufacturing efficiencies and high production volume.
  • Starts generating power at low wind speeds (2.6 m/s) and includes automatic furling for gale protection.
  • Low friction 3-phase alternators ensure smooth and silent output.
  • Compliance with EEC directive 89/336/EEC for no radiated interference.
  • Durable materials ensure reliability and longevity, typically over 10 years.
Specifications:
  • Part Numbers: CA-02/01 (12V), CA-02/02 (24V)
  • Packed Dimensions: 250x310x350mm and 315x120x1010mm
  • Packed Weight: 17 Kg
Accessories:
  • Mounting Pole: Recommended 6m height with 4 guy wires, available with a Land Tower and Rigging kit.
  • Voltage Controller: Two models available to slow down the turbine when batteries are full.
  • Batteries: Use deep cycle batteries, with AGM and gel options available.
  • Cable & Connectors: Recommended cable thickness based on distance, with permanent battery connectors.
  • Solar Panels: Complement wind power for seasonal balance.
  • Inverters: Convert battery power to 230V for appliances.
Applications: Suitable for telecommunications, remote broadband, roadside safety signs, environmental monitoring, and navigation lighting where grid power is unavailable.

Rutland FM910-3 Furlmatic Windcharger-1

Rutland FM910-3 Furlmatic Windcharger Rutland Windchargers are without doubt one of the most unique and versatile battery chargers in use throughout the world. The Rutland FM910-3 combines the established Furlmatic robust mechanical design with our latest 3 phase generator technology to deliver better performance and greater reliability than ever before. Primarily designed for land based applications, the Rutland FM910-3 has been used worldwide to provide year round power generation. Technical Features and Benefits A low energy remote power site where a grid connection would otherwise cost thousands of Efficient power conversion Rutland Windchargers generate greater ampere hours in real wind conditions than turbines of equal and often larger diameter! This is because our unique high inertia alternator designs maintain momentum between gusts unlike other designs that stall and have to rebuild up speed. This Rutland "flywheel" action results in more free power generated into your battery. Rutland Windchargers are the lowest cost per watt of power generated owing to our many in-house manufacturing efficiencies and volume of production More ampere hours are generated because of the Rutlands' low wind speeds start up (of just 2.6 m/s) so power is being generated in the most typical wind speeds as well as being powerful in the strong winds Automatic 'furling' tail fin directs turbine out of wind above 16 m/s for gale protection Our low friction 3 phase alternators give a smooth and silent output Computer designed efficient aerofoil blades. The fine profile blades have a positive one-way-only fit that have been tested to withstand a loading with a safety factor 10 times the turbine's maximum rpm. EEC directive 89/336/EEC compliance ensures no radiated interference Automatic thermostat protection in prolonged gales Modern, durable materials for excellent reliability and product longevity, typically more than 10 years CHJfflH OMWENT Vt WIMCTEGO RENEWABLE POWER

MOUNTING POLE Mounting pole for land based systems - the 910-3 can be installed on land using a 6m length of 48mm outside diameter tube with 41 mm internal diameter. The mounting pole can be fixed into the ground or on pivot type base. A minimum height of 6m and of 4 guy wires is recommended. More details are given in the installation manual. A Land Tower and Rigging kit is available from Marlec. The Land Tower kit comprises 3x tubes with joiners and a ground fixing spike giving an overall height of 6.4m. This must be supported by the Rigging Kit. VOLTAGE CONTROLLER Choose from 2 electronic regulators....
