The Ampair 6kW

‘Best in class’ Production

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.

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.

Tail Rudder

Tail Plane

Paint Options

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.

We are one of the few manufacturers who use galvanised steel nacelles. As a

result of this design feature the turbine is extremely well protected from corrosion.

CoatingsAll main structural components are hot-dip galvanised or interzinc primed

for enhanced corrosion protection.

We are one of the few manufacturers who use galvanised steel nacelles. As a

result of this design feature the turbine is extremely well protected from corrosion.

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.

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.

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.

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.
