The i3Power turbine is designed for easy setup and assembly by our dealers and is suitable for both residential and light commercial applications.A versatile system in that its design allows for operation both in applications with access to grid
power and in applications where grid power is unavailable

The 5kW model is an excellent choice for large residential applications with power demands greater than 3kW but less than 5kW. A ready to install, full kit is available for the 5kW model. Our generators operate in both horizontal and vertical applications.

AFPM Generator Technology and How it Works

Where traditional Radial Flux Permanent Magnets (RFPM) orient the magnetic ?ux outward from the shaft of the turbine, the Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) technology works by orienting the magnetic ?ux along the axis of the turbine shaft.

In our AFPM generators, a coil is wrapped around a specially designed disc at the centre axis. Magnetic discs then rotate on the sides of the coiled disc and generate electricity, consistent with Faraday's Law. This kind of power generating technology is therefore ideal for wind power generation because its initial operation torque (cut-in speed) is lower than the current Radial Flux Permanent Magnet (RFPM) method.

AFPM power generation is classi?ed into two con?gurations, the inner type and outer type. In the inner type con?guration, only the magnetic disk rotates while the generator housing remains. In the outer type con?guration, the whole generator body rotates by fixing the magnetic disk to the body.
