The proven choice for remote energy

AIR 40 is the premier micro-wind turbine for land-based applications. It operates efficiently across a wide-range of wind speeds, providing energy for telecom, water pumping, lighting, SCADA, off-grid homes, or other low energy demand battery charging applications. The AIR 40 is ideal for pairing with solar to offset seasonal variation, delivering more consistent energy.

WIND CONTROL PANELwind_control_panel.JPG

Primus Wind Power is pleased to offer a low cost analog control panel for use with AIR 40 48 VDC wind turbines. The panel is easy to install and will result in a professional operator station enhancing the beauty and value of your vessel or home installation. It helps to reduce installation costs and makes wiring a snap with just 4 wires to connect.

The WCP controls and monitors the wind turbine. It is equipped with a power On/Off circuit breaker, analog ammeter (indicating wind turbine current production) and a Stop/Run switch (for direct control of the turbine). A clearly marked rear terminal block is provided for easy interconnect of the two turbine wires and two battery power wires. Panel is fully calibrated and ready for installation.

AIR 30 TURBINE

Optimum energy in high wind environments

When you need energy, our AIR 30 delivers. It’s hands down the best energy choice for off-grid land-based applications in high wind environments. Use it for SCADA, telecom, security, cathodic protection — you name it. With optimized software, AIR 30 consistently delivers energy where it matters. The AIR 30’s heavy-duty design can withstand most high wind environments. The AIR 30 is an ideal turbine for hybrid combinations with solar PV. Not for use in marine environments. AIR 30 is built and backed by the worldwide leader in small wind.

]]> This tower kit is designed specifically for the Primus Wind Power AIR 30 and AIR 40 wind turbines. To our knowledge this is the most economical and user friendly tower kit available for the AIR wind turbines. Guy wire supported construction allows the use of lightweight tubing while providing plenty of strength for all but hurricane conditions. The AIR tower kit includes a simple yet effective elbow/tee for its base. Combined with a short length of tubing this type of base eliminates the need for a concrete pad, base plate and a swivel for the base of the tower. A simple extruded aluminum, coupling clamp allows the use of a wide selection of different kinds of tubing, depending on availability, site requirements and customer preference. Threaded coupling points are eliminated, allowing lighter materials to be used with the same or greater strength than a threaded pipe tower. Pre-cut and swaged guy wires eliminate wire measuring and cutting. Kit Contents: (for more detailed information, please see the owner’s manual)
