The rotor of this turbine has a diameter of 29 feet and provides about 175 rotations per minute at a rated output power of 20 kilowatt hours. This rotor is a three blade variable pitch type. The Jacobs wind turbine consists of a brushless alternator, which is a three phase model. The specifications of the alternator are 30 kilovolt amperes with operating voltage conditions ranging between zero and 180 volts.
The wind turbine from Eco Depot USA has a rotor to alternator ratio of 1.6. The transmission unit of the Jacobs wind turbine is an offset hypoid gear drive. The output specifications of this turbine are 240 volt AC and 60 Hertz. This single phase wind turbine comprises protection units for overspeed, yaw control and high wind or storm conditions. The yaw control unit of the Jacobs wind turbine is a dual fold tail, while the blade actuated governor functions as an overspeed protection unit.
The Jacobs wind turbine consists of an offset rotor axis that provides protection during high wind or storm conditions. This turbine from Eco Depot USA also incorporates multi-disc brakes, which also function as a protection feature. The Jacobs wind turbine is suitable for hybrid battery charging and grid inertie applications.
