FEATURES

TOUGH AND FULLY WARRANTED


The enhanced performance three phase induction generator in each Platypus Power micro hydro unit are
proven, tough and reliable technology. All models are fitted with long life bearings, have excellent electrical
characteristics, and are IP65 rated.

You can have even more confidence in the exceptional Platypus Power ‘1 plus 2’ year warranty.

EASY TO USE RELIABLE CONTROLS


The unique Platypus Power Advanced Regulator protects your turbine – controlling the speed of the generator
to keep the voltage stable. The regulator module includes the electronic control unit and dump element/s to
keep the generator constantly at full load.

Meters on the control panel give instant indication of turbine performance, consumer power usage and dump
current.

LED indicators display the generator status.

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.

RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY


Platypus Power’s simple design and use of the highest quality materials means long life and low maintenance.

The innovative hybrid Platypus impulse runner is directly coupled to the generator. 316 marine grade stainless
steel casing and runner resist abrasion and corrosion.

Nozzles are easily interchangeable to suit seasonal flows.

One dump resistance is all that is needed for single phase.
