PowerPal LH500 Low Head Turbine
Powerpal LH (low head) range operates from a fixed head of just 1.5 metres (5ft) and is unique in generating 220 ac  (110ac models avail.) straight from the machine which is suitable for driving simple loads directly. More often they are used for battery charging, heating or for exporting power back into the grid.
These machines have high volumetric flow and are physically larger and more robustly built than competitor machines. The standard alternator and shaped flow pieces are for heads up to 1.75m, for heads above this we supply an ID version with either Smart drive, Induction or PMA 3 phase alternator.
Systems are only supplied as installable packages,  1kW base unit under review.
