IstaBreeze i-500 Wind Turbine

I have an IstaBreeze i-500 12v fitted and have done for a few years now, very reliable! When solar is a bit lacking in winter these will usually be spinning enough to get your amps up! I use mine with a simple 3 phase to dc bridge rectifier although i also run it through my main MPPT as well, no noisy brake that way! A thing to note with wind turbines of any sort, you need wind! A gentle breeze will not net you anything, i have seen these produce 400+ watts and 20+ amps but in a gail! Generally with moderate wind these will produce anywhere from 5 – 10 amps, but that is day and night constantly!

Product description:
As a result of our continuous improvement process, we are pleased to introduce our new wind generator i-500 plus.
The newly developed IstaBreeze® i-500 plus is a wind generator for professional use.
The generous dimensioning of the generator components and the heat dissipation via the newly developed aluminium housing ensure a low thermal load, which ensures a long service life even at high ambient temperatures.
The generator shaft runs in two encapsulated and permanently lubricated deep groove ball bearings made of stainless steel. At the front bearing, a special friction-free sealing disc prevents the ingress of moisture and dust.
Installation in mast tube by plug connection. Required mast tube inner diameter: 37 mm nominal size!
