Furlmatic
910 - 3
|
The
Furlmatic 910-3 is Marlec's upgraded model (1998) of the highly successful
FM910 windcharger. The FM910-3 incorporates our latest 3-phase alternator,
taken from the Rutland 913 design which delivers a further 25% more power
than the original model. It retains its basic design which has been proven
time and again in the harshest of environments under critical power supply
requirements eg. seismic monitoring In Antarctica, communications for Himalayan
expeditions |

The Furlmatic
model has a "furling" device that tilts the turbine horizontally at right
angles to the prevailing wind at windspeeds above 35mph. This protects
the turbine from the forces of excessive winds and reduces stresses on
the turbine and tower.
Wherever there is a site that is unattended, remote and exposed the FM910-3
can be relied on. Professional applications such as monitoring, telemetry,
communications, isolated agricultural uses, navigation aids, military
field applications, rural street lighting, remote homes and many more.

System Components
Batteries, tower, cable & connectors
Other System
Components:
- Batteries
- We recommend deep cycle lead acid batteries, sealed or non-sealed,
of a minimum capacity of 75AH @ 12V / 24V
- Cable
- Cable thickness depends on the overall length used between the wind
generator, regulator and battery. For distances up to 20m a cable thickness
of 2.5mm is recommended. The regulator should always be sited within
1.5m of the battery to minimise voltage losses and ensure accuracy of
battery regulation.
- Mounting
pole for land based systems -the 910-3 can be installed on land using
a 6m length of 61mm outside diameter tube. 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.
