The Rutland 503 Windcharger

Rutland Windchargers simply convert the free and abundant power in the wind to power stored in your batteries. The 12V power is ready to use for engine starting, lights, coolers, essential navigation equipment and other low energy appliances. With a Rutland 503 installed on board weekend sailors will experience the convenience of fully charged batteries for engine starting.

Features and Benefits:

• Efficient power conversion – Rutland Windchargers generate greater amperehours in real wind conditions than turbines of equal and often larger diameter! That’s because between gusts, our unique high inertia alternator designs maintain momentum with a flywheel effect where other units stall. This addsup to more free power generated and stored for you.
• Rutland Windchargers are the lowest cost per watt of power generated. Not only is the generator efficient but volume production for our worldwide customers and in-house manufacturing here at Marlec ensures that we deliver a consistently high quality at an affordable cost.
• Our low friction 3-phase alternator gives a smooth and silent output. The low wind speed start up means power is almost continuously produced and certainly in the most typical conditions as well as being powerful in higher winds.
• Rutland 503 turbines are made from computer designed efficient aerofoil blades whose tips are joined by an outer protective ring.
• No radiated interference. Complies with EEC Directive 89/336/EEC.
