- 1. Ampair Turbines Ltd Ampair AWT06 6kW Wind Turbine Best in class performance Robust engineering Simple, elegant design Configurations for on-grid or off-grid use The Ampair 6kW is one of our most impressive turbine designs, emerging as market leader in its size following MCS certifcation. MCS WT0118/03 Small Wind Turbines
- 2. The Ampair 6kW Our 6kw turbine combines practical and robust engineering with an elegant look. The turbine itself is a three blade, up-wind machine with an auto-furl mechanism to prevent over-speeding. Design consider-ations include a direct drive generator to minimise the number of moving parts and high specification components to ensure longevity. ‘Best in class’ Production The Ampair 6kW has been independently tested under the UK’s Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). Comparison with MCS data for other turbines in the 5-6kw range reveals the Ampair 6kW is the most productive machine in its class. The table below compares Annual Energy Production (AEP) of the different machines registered under the MCS. Annual energy production at an annual average hub height wind speed of 6 m/s. *Data from MCS Summary Reports performance

Turbine Profile • 3 bladed rotor, 5.5m diameter • Permanent magnet generator • Direct drive • Upwind orientation, passive yaw • Power management: auto furl mechanism and dump load with electro-magnetic brake • 1.9 m/s cut in wind speed • 200kg turbine head weight • Available in 48V, 120V & 240V. • Available grid tied, grid / heating or stand alone Reduction due to Furling AEP Table (Annual Energy Production)
- 4. design All main structural components are hot-dip galvanised or interzinc primed We are one of the few manufacturers who use result of this design feature the turbine is extremely Coatings for enhanced corrosion protection. Tail Rudder Tail Plane When the prevailing wind blows the rudder will be forced parallel to the wind direction. This motion will rotate the turbine to face into the wind Unlike the rudder, the tail plane does not direct the rotor. Its primary function is to aid the furling action of the turbine by lifting the tail in high winds.
- 5. Blades Paint Options Rotor Our fibreglass blades are recognised as one of the strongest and durable designs on the market. They are complete with winglets which enhance airflow to produce an incredibly quiet turbine. Choose your colours. We offer light grey, gloss white, off white and light green. Blade sets can also receive a gloss black finish. If you want something extra, we will do our best to provide. Nacelle Yaw Throughout the machine we use high quality seals to protect our bearings and other components. The generator itself is completely sealed from the natural environment, giving a long trouble free turbine life span even in the harshest conditions. We only use the highest quality branded bearings. The bearings have been selected to last the machine lifespan without the need for their replacement. Bearings Magnets Seals galvanised steel nacelles. As a extremely well protected from corrosion. The rotor has a swept area of 24m². The design of our bearings, efficient generator & blades allow the fixed pitch rotor to move freely; which is why no other competitor machines will better the 6kW on low wind start-up. Ampair uses a passive yaw design. Our high quality branded bearings, with no gearing, offer a yaw mechanism that is very robust. We use some of the worlds strongest Rare Earth Magnets (Ne-Feb-Br) available; maximising power production capability.
