| There are lots of wind generators on the
market today. Why should you choose the Rutland 913? No other micro wind
generator gives you all the features you want in one unit.
 Low wind speed output:
Although many others claim higher
output; it is only at high wind speeds that they exceed the Rutland then
they stall between gusts. In the real world, most of your time is
probably spent in the shelter of an anchorage or under sail. The Rutland
913's high inertia generator starts producing power at 4 MPH. At 10MPH
it produces 2 amps@12v and 4 amps at 15 MPH increasing to 7.5 amps at 22
MPH. The Rutland 913 outperforms all others in real cruising
conditions yet withstands gale force winds unattended.
Quiet:
You have probably noticed the sounds of
wind generators. Some scream all night while others sound like a
helicopter landing. When you install a wind generator, you'll be living
with it day in and out whenever you're cruising and noise level should
be a consideration. The chart below shows the relative noise level of
popular wind generators (for comparison; normal conversation level is 65
decibels). The Rutland 913 is by far the quietest generator on
the market.
Size:
At only 36" diameter the Rutland is the smallest generator. This means
that it needn't dominate the stern area of your boat. It means less
windage and weight aloft and it makes installation easier on mizzen
masts etc. If safety, convenience and aesthetics count for anything; the
Rutland 913 will be your choice.
Reliability:
The Rutland 913 features marine grade materials and stainless steel
fittings throughout. The 3 phase generator windings are completely
sealed in GRP and computer designed aerofoil blades built to withstand
loading 10x the turbine's maximum rpm. The Rutland 913 is manufactured
by Marlec Engineering Co Ltd. Marlec has been building wind chargers and
distributing worldwide since 1979 and have ISO9001 accreditation.
Installation of the charger and the recommended shunt/regulator can
easily be completed in 3- 4 hours. The Rutland 913 requires very little
maintenance and has a 24 month warranty. Clearly, the Rutland
913 delivers the most power for the lowest cost.
