You can have even more confidence in the exceptional Platypus Power ‘1 plus 2’ year warranty.
Meters on the control panel give instant indication of turbine performance, consumer power usage and dump
current.
The regulator automatically diverts and dissipates unused energy through the dump element/s.
Automatic shut down through the control board protects connected electrical equipment and the generator
from over-voltage.
The innovative hybrid Platypus impulse runner is directly coupled to the generator. 316 marine grade stainless
steel casing and runner resist abrasion and corrosion.
