Whisper Wind
Generator The blades are injection-molded fiber reinforced.
Alternator is direct drive, brush-less, permanent magnet 3-phase for high
power and low cost. Unregulated AC power from wind generator is sent to be rectified to DC
at the control box which is used for charging batteries. Sealed bearings are permanently
lubricated for low maintenance. Frame is cast aluminum. Preset for 24 volt and
is easy to configure to 12, 24 or
48 volt.
Includes Charge Control Box and meter display. It shows: Total Kilowatt Hours, Peak Amps (and peak or average wind
speed with optional Anemometer) The meter display can be mounted on the
controller or up to 1000 feet (300 meters) away letting you know what is
happening. You can even add an anemometer to your controller and now you can
measure wind speed and compare it to the output to make sure you are getting the
most from your Whisper.
Start up wind speed is 7-8 mph. Patented side angle governor tilts
alternator and blades up and back at an angle for over-speed protection in
higher winds. Made in USA.

Monthly Energy Production
Estimated kilowatt-hours (kwh) per month generated
for each model at different average wind speeds (mph).
Local conditions can change energy production. The tower top wind speed
is used for calculations. Wind speed is normally stronger with height. Tall
towers are recommended.

Anchor Suggestions
by
Southwest Windpower
There are
four types of anchors that are most commonly used with our towers, screw in
"Auger" type anchors, hammer driven "duckbill" anchors, cast concrete anchors
and expansion bolts (for use only in solid rock). What anchor should be used
depends on the soil type that the anchors will be placed in. See the following
table for our suggestions.
