Whisper 200
Formerly the Whisper H80, the Whisper 200 was upgraded in 2005 with new
features and added flexibility for your renewable energy system. Now, any
Whisper 200 can have its voltage changed, 12-48V DC, within a few minutes in
the field.
The Whisper 200 is designed to operate in a site with low to medium speed
averages of 8 mph, 3.6 m/s, and greater. The 200 provides 200+ kWh per
month, 6.8 kWh per day, in a 12 mph average wind. The Whisper 200 does
produce more sound than it’s 100 counterpart, but it does produce almost
twice the power.
In addition to its patented smooth acting side furling design, the Whisper
200 has a number of new features that make it ideal for any new or existing
photovotaic system:
* A new four bearing spindle for a smoother operation and longer life
* An upgraded Yaw shaft that more efficiently delivers current to your
batteries
* New bronze bushing and larger diameter furling pin for smoother furling
action
* New castings that allow easy access to the stator for changing voltage
Whisper Controller
Unlike many other small wind systems, the Whisper 200 ships with a
controller that includes a diversion load to ensure quiet safe operation of
your wind turbine when the batteries are charged.
It installs in minutes and it protects both your wind turbine and battery.
The Whisper controller fits easily inside your battery room. Add the
optional LCD display and you will instantly receive real time data on the
performance of your Whisper 200.
The display can be mounted on the controller or up to 1000 feet (300 meters)
away letting you know what is happening. You can even add an anemometer to
your controller and now you can measure wind speed and compare it to the
output to make sure you are getting the most from your Whisper 200.
Wind as easy to use as photovoltaics
The Whisper 200 is designed for even the novice. The Whisper can be
installed in just a few hours with no welding, no concrete or cranes. Our
engineers designed the work out of installing wind turbines. Now wind is as
easy to use as photovoltaics.
Solar and wind work together
Solar and wind resources often compliment each other. Generally when it is
sunny it is calm and when it is cloudy it is windy. This complimentary
effect is even greater during seasonal changes. During the winter and spring
when the sun is at its least exposure, the wind is at it highest. A Whisper
200 during these periods is essential to keep your batteries charged and
your lights on.
Maximum output in any wind
Exclusive to the Whisper, the side-furling Angle-Governor protects the
turbine in high winds by turning the alternator and blades out of the wind,
reducing turbine exposure. Unlike other wind turbines that lose as much as
80% of their output when furled, the Angle-Governor allows the Whisper to
achieve maximum output in any wind.
