Ensupra Grid Tie Inverter 500W, 1 Year Full Warranty, Power from Solar Panel, Wind Generator, Hydro or Storage Battery; 10.8VDC-28VDC to 110VAC

  • Simply Plug Into Your Wall Electric Outlet (110Volt AC)
  • Save Electricity and Sell Back to Utility Grid
  • Inlet Power Source of 10.8VDC to 28VDC from Solar Panel, Wind Turbine Generator, Hydro, Storage Battery or Any other DC Electric Source.
  • Pure Sine-Wave Output, Island Protection, 90% Peak Efficiency,
  • Search ENSUPRA for our Plug’n play Energy Products of Your Choice

Ensupra grid tie power inverter can obtain the solar energy from solar panel, and can tie to the grid through its output cable with no extra equipment.
The installation is Do-It-Your Self (DIY).
When the sun shines, the PV panel will produces DC voltage, and the grid tie inverter will change the DC voltage to AC voltage and puts out power to the home grid, saving electricity.

INSTALLATION:
1, Connect the Solar Panel or Wind Turbine s DC supply cables to the DC input terminal of the inverter, be sure that the polarity is correct.

Recommended DC input cable size for maximum output is 8AWG or cables that can handle more than 25A. Optimal length would be less than 8m, longer cables will experience higher voltage drop. The range of output power of Solar Panel or Wind Turbine is 50W~550W.

2, Connect the supplied AC power cord to the inverter and plug it to a home wall socket.

3, The green LED indicators will glow when the grid and DC supply is detected. This indicates the inverter is operating under normal condition. The red LED will be on, the inverter will not put out power, this is called Island Protection.

Please follow local regulatory electrical codes for installation. If in doubt, consult appropriate licensed contractor.

PicoTurbine Whirlybird 3-Phase Wind Turbine Kit

March 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

PicoTurbine Whirlybird 3-Phase Wind Turbine Kit

  • Fully functional 3-Phase wind turbine
  • Completely hands on experience teaching every fundamental aspect of how electricity is harnessed from wind power
  • Roof Ventilator not included

Imagine creating a 3-phase wind turbine from a common, everyday roof ventilator along with some magnets and coils of wire. That’s what we’ve created for your study of wind technology. We chose the Whirlybird TM roof ventilator for several reasons.



First, it has great bearings that simply will not wear out under normal – and even severe – use. Without great bearings your wind turbine is always fighting friction that only serves to slow it down with the attendant loss of power.



Second, it can be easily constructed with common tools and without soldering or drilling.



Third, it can be used indoors and [especially] outdoors where your study of day-to-day and season-by-season wind never stops.



Fourth, it produces 3-phase power just like the commercial wind turbines, which allows you to study this marvelous electrical principle first hand by using your computer and the 3-phase Bar Graph Board to produce computer plots like this.



Fifth, you will be able to modify it in order to study the effects of magnetism and how you can optimize the mechanical components to produce maximum power.

Magnet Technical Specifications:

Super strong and durable magnets:

2″ x 1″ x 0.5″ Thick Neodymium NdFeB Block Magnet, Epoxy+Nickel+Copper+Nickel Quadruple Layer Coated

stronger and better performance than N40, N38 and N35

Coating Makes a big difference !

Epoxy+Nickel+Copper+Nickel 4-layer coating vs. Nickel+Copper+Nickel 3-layer coating

Nickel+Copper+Nickel coating provides protection against moisture and oxygen but is prone to corrosion in salt and acidic conditions.

The combination of Epoxy and Nickel+Copper+Nickel coating is the best solution against both corrosion in salt, acidic conditions and moisture, oxygen.

We recommend Epoxy+Nickel+Copper+Nickel coated 2x1x1/2 magnet due to the superior Corrosion Resistance and excellent adhesion to metal surface of Epoxy+Nickel+Copper+Nickel coating than Nickel+Copper+Nickel coating.

Magnetized through the Thickness 0.5″, poles are on the two 2×1″ surfaces

Approximate pulling force: over 72 lbs
