The Kestrel e230i is a distinctive three-blade micro wind turbine that has a low start-up torque, increasing its efficiency. The axial flux permanent magnet brushless alternator is powered by an optimised three-blade rotor with patented pitch control.
The pitch control consists of a patented design that after a long development phase was thoroughly tested. The final product is maintenance-free, fully sealed from the environment, and is extremely reliable.
The e230i maintains rated output in excess wind speeds, optimising the potential power output and energy yield. It is designed to offer a reliable supply of electrical energy with minimum attention and maintenance.
The Kestrel e230i is used predominantly on farms and rural installations for power where there is no grid connection available. It is a high-quality small wind turbine that often becomes a local landmark.
The e230i available in 12 (600 Watt), 24, 36, 48, 80, 110, and 200 VDC.
