Pelton Wheel and PMA Generator set.  These two products were designed to work with 1000 to 3000 watts output, for charging batteries in Home Power systems.  Note that this is a 3-Phase, AC generator and you need to purchase your own 3-phase full wave rectifier to convert the AC output to DC for charging batteries, from 12 to 36 VDC after your rectifier bridge.  You can find 3-phase rectifiers and Charge Controllers on eBay from companies like Coleman Air.

Pelton Wheel Part Number ME0903.
PM Generator ME1016 Rev A.

The Pelton wheel has die cast aluminum cups for many years of product life..  There are 12 cups.  The generator uses Ceramic magnets and has over 85% efficiency, much hither than a standard car alternator which is usually 60%.  The Pelton Wheel mounts directly onto the PM Generator shaft with 4 x M5 mounting bolts (bolts not included but can be purchased from a local hardware store).

Designed for use on your own Pico Hydro Projects. You will also need to build a water box and add a nozzle, plus you will need a 3-phase full wave rectifier and a charge controller.

Easily provides 1000 watts of power with one nozzle, 2000 watts with two nozzles.  With one 3/4 inch nozzle and 28 PSI (65 feet), 80 gallons per minute, it provides 500 watts output.  You can add up to 4 nozzles.

For reference, here is a quick calculation for an approximation of the available power at your site:  

     Flow in GPM x Height in Feet x 0.18 x 0.5 = Output Power


This is a very durable wheel and there are no brushes to wear-out on the AC generator.

Shipping weight of 20 pounds.  Comes in corrugated box measuring 13 x 13 x 13 inches.
