The Ampair 600 is available in three versions. The battery charge version is available for charging 24V or 48V battery banks, and the grid-connected version is available for connection to 230V electrical networks (the 'grid').
Ampair 600-24
Ampair 600-48
Ampair 600-230
The brochure for the Ampair 600 can be downloaded here. The battery charge versions are available from Ampair distributors or direct from Ampair. The grid connected version is only available in some countries and from some authorised Ampair distributor / installers.
Ampair 600 for battery charging
The Ampair 600-24 and Ampair 600-48 are designed for charging high capacity DC battery banks, typically 800Ah or more. The correct wind turbine and regulator must be purchased at the outset - either the 24V version or the 48V version - as it is not possible to change the voltage at a later date. The wind turbine must be installed in conjunction with the Ampair 600 regulator which includes the regulator itself plus the dump load; the fuses; the rectifier; the stop switch; and heatsinks. Loads can be either 24V or 48V DC equipment or a stand alone sine wave inverter can be used to power 115V or 230V equipment.
Ampair 600 for grid connection
The Ampair 600-230 is designed for connecting to 230V 50Hz grid systems operated by public utilities. It is ordinarily connected on the client's side of the electrical utility supply meter and is ideally connected into the consumer unit (fuse board). Electricity generated by the wind turbine is then used in preference to electricity supplied the public utility. If more electricity is required by the client then extra supply comes in from the utility, and if more is generated than is consumed on site then the surplus is exported to the utility. The Ampair 600-230 must be installed in conjunction with the Ampair interconnect set which includes a G83 sine wave inverter; stop switch; overloads; power conditioning; and isolation.
Mounting options
The Ampair 600 system includes a range of mounting options for land and marine use. The only marine mount that we recommend is the stern mount kit co-developed by Ampair and Scanstrut. On land the same stern mount can be used and we also offer a wide range of other mountings:
TUM: steel unguyed mast with hinge and winch to allow turbine to tilt-up for easy access: sets hub 8m height above ground.
WPM: wooden unguyed telegraph poles with conversion kits:
WPM: kit to attach turbine to top of wooden pole;
WP-10: 10m pole sets hub 8m above ground;
WP-13: 13m pole sets hub 11m above ground.
GM-HD: Guyed steel masts from 12 hub height, heavy duty.
NPRM: Non penetrating roof mount suitable for load bearing flat roofs; sets hub 5m above roof.
Various mounts suitable for fixing on to vertical structures:
BWM: brick wall mount for suitable brick, block, masonry, and concrete;
SFM: steel frame mount for standard orientation beams;
The Ampair 600 is available in three versions. The battery charge version is available for charging 24V or 48V battery banks, and the grid-connected version is available for connection to 230V electrical networks (the 'grid').
