PowerSpout by EcoInnovation

The PowerSpout BE is the most cost effective turbine in the product range. It is a durable domestic scale hydro turbine that can be stacked up to 10 units. The rugged fully enclosed design makes it ideal for remote properties and developing countries. The BE turbine is intended for use with a 12/24/48 VDC battery bank, external diversion regulator and inverter system. For grid connect applications refer to our GE turbine. PowerSpout BE is well suited to sites where the turbine is in close proximity to the point of power consumption so that cable distance (hence cost) is not significant and where maximum power point tracking and data logging is not required. To reduce cable costs and for ease of installation the PowerSpout ME is often a good choice.

Power range 100 to 1200 Watts per unit at 100 V DC High power version up to 1600 Watts Shipping weight up to 25 kg The PowerSpout ME 100 is a durable domestic scale hydro turbine that can be stacked up to the capacity of the inverter – normally 1-2 units This product is intended for use with a 12/24/48 V DC battery bank, a maximum power point (MPP) regulator and inverter system. The MPP regulator must be able to handle an input voltage up to 100 V DC such as the Latronics PV Edge 1200 inverters. http://www.latronics.com.au/pvspecs.php The ME 100 product is well suited to sites where the turbine is distant to the point of power consumption. It is fitted with a 100 V DC voltage controller so that it cannot produce more than 100 V DC. This ensures it meets the ELV requirements in many European, Australasian and Asian countries. It has an internal diversion regulator that operates at 95 V DC and in the event of element failure the regulator shorts the generator preventing it from causing overvoltage damage to the attached inverter. This is a special order product and a delay of several weeks can be expected.

PowerSpout ME 120 Power range 100 to 1200 Watts per unit at 120 V DC High power version up to 1600 Watts Shipping weight up to 25 kg The PowerSpout ME 120 is a durable domestic scale hydro turbine that can be stacked up to 10 units. It is ideally suited for developed and developing countries where the hydro turbine is up to 1000m (3300ft) from where the power is used as it operates at a higher voltage than PowerSpout BE. The ME 120 turbine is intended for use with a 12/24/48 V DC battery bank, a maximum power point (MPP) regulator and inverter system. The MPP regulator must be able to handle an input voltage up to 120 V DC such as the Outback FM60. This turbine is used in markets with 120 VDC ELV laws. The ME 120 turbine can also be used for grid connect applications where the inverter can operate at up to 120 V DC. The ME 120 product is well suited to sites where the turbine is distant to the point of power consumption. It is fitted with 120 VDC voltage controller so that it cannot produce more than 120 VDC. This ensures it meets the 120 VDC ELV requirements in many European, Australasian and Asian countries. It has an internal diversion regulator that operates at 115 V DC and in the event of element failure the regulator shorts the generator preventing it from causing overvoltage damage to attached equipment.

PowerSpout ME 140 Power range 100 to 1200 Watts per unit at 140 V DC High power version up to 1600 Watts Shipping weight up to 25 kg The PowerSpout ME 140 is a durable domestic scale hydro turbine that can be stacked up to 10 units The ME 140 turbine is intended for use with a 12/24/48 V DC battery bank, a maximum power point (MPP) regulator and inverter system. The MPP regulator must be able to handle an input voltage up to 140 V DC such as the Outback FM60. The ME 140 operates at close to the 150 VDC limit of common MPPT regulators The ME 140 turbine can also be used for grid connect applications where the inverter can operate at up to 140 V DC. The ME 140 product is well suited to sites where the turbine is distant to the point of power consumption. It is fitted with 140 VDC voltage controller so that it cannot produce more than 140 VDC. This ensures it is compatible with many common MPPT regulators on the market. It has an internal diversion regulator that operates at 135 VDC and in the event of element failure the regulator shorts the generator preventing it from causing overvoltage damage to attached equipment. This is a special order product and a delay of several weeks can be expected.

PowerSpout ME 250 Power range 100 to 1200 Watts per unit at 250 V DC High power version up to 1600 Watts Shipping weight up to 25 kg The PowerSpout ME 250 is a durable domestic scale hydro turbine that can be stacked up to 10 units The ME 250 turbine is intended for use with a 12/24/48 V DC battery bank, a maximum power point (MPP) regulator and inverter system. The MPP regulator must be able to handle an input voltage up to 250 V DC such as the Midnite Classic 250. The ME 250 operates at close to the 250 VDC limit of this MPPT regulator. The ME 250 turbine can also be used for grid connect applications where the inverter can operate at up to 250 VDC. The ME 250 product is well suited to sites where the turbine is distant to the point of power consumption. It is fitted with 250 V DC voltage controller so that it cannot produce more than 250 V DC. It has an internal diversion regulator that operates at 240 VDC and in the event of element failure the regulator shorts the generator preventing it from causing overvoltage damage to attached equipment. This is a special order product and a time delay of several weeks can be expected.

PowerSpout GE 400 Power range 250 to 1200 Watts per unit at 350 V DC Shipping weight up to 25 kg The PowerSpout GE 400 is a durable domestic scale hydro turbine that can be stacked up to 10 units. It is ideally suited for developed and developing countries where the hydro turbine is grid connected or connected via an inverter in an off-grid mini-island system. The GE 400 turbine is intended for use with a grid-connect inverter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The inverter must be able to handle an input voltage up to 400 VDC. Such inverters are commonly available around the world. The GE product is well suited to sites where the turbine is distant from the grid as it operates at 350 VDC nominal. It is fitted with a 400 VDC voltage controller so that it cannot produce more than 400 VDC. This ensures it will not cause overvoltage damage to the connected inverter. In the event of regulator/element failure the regulator shorts the generator preventing it from causing overvoltage damage to attached equipment.
