PowerPal Low Head Cat. No. PP-LH Weight 150 lbs | |
A
simple AC
single-phase, brushless permanent magnet alternator
is attached to a propeller turbine. All or part of the stream
flow is diverted into an intake canal where it forms a vortex, causing
the propeller to rotate as it exits through a draft tube to flow free
again . All that is required is a vertical drop (head) and a
sufficient rate of water flow, which are commonly obtained by
installing PowerPal on a small waterfall, dam or diversion trench.
Electricity passes along a wire and into a house, where an electronic
load controller (supplied) stabilizes the voltage to 110V or 220V to
protect electrical appliances during use. The ELC can also be
used to set other voltages such as 120V, 230V or 240V. Being
lightweight and portable, installation is very simple and is explained
in the Instruction Manual. Once installed there are no running costs
and maintenance costs are extremely low
