Powerspout LH - Propeller turbine

PowerSpout LH Turbine for hydro generation

About PowerSpout
From humble beginnings over a decade ago PowerSpout turbines have developed into world leading products. Powerspout make each one specifically tailored to your site and energy needs. Sustainably manufactured in New Zealand in their off-grid workshop using up to 68% recycled materials. PowerSpout turbines are modular so if you have an appropriate water resource installing multiple units has many advantages. All hydro turbines require periodic maintenance and if multiple units are installed the power generation doesn’t need to stop during this time.

Powerspout have a range of hydro turbines to suit most applications which include the Powerspout PLT series, Powerspout TRG series and Powerspout LH series

The PowerSpout LH
The PowerSpout LH is a highly efficient propeller turbine. On a suitable hydro site, it can produce up to 1.6kW 24/7, 365 days a year. If a larger output is required, you can stack units to generate over 16kW on the same penstock and power cable.

Specifications:

Static head range: 1 to 5m (3 – 16 feet)
Maximum flow/turbine: 55 l/s (880 gpm)
Minimum flow/turbine: 25 l/s (400 gpm)
Dimensions: Diameter 300mm x length 1050mm (12 inches x 42 inches)
Maximum power: 1600W
Maximum current rating 32 amp

Voltage
Common versions available are LH150/250/400. The number refers to the maximum runaway voltage, or Voc. Best operating voltage, cable voltage or MPPV will be approximately 1/2 of this Voc. So for example the LH400 works best at 200V and it should never exceed 400V. Each turbine is custom built for your site and the voltage will depend on the site head.
