The Rutland 504 Wind Charger

A completely unique mini Windcharger designed with the weekend yachtsman in mind. The Rutland 504 is ideal for trickle charging batteries on board vessels less that 10m in length with battery banks of up to 100Ah.

This latest model follows the success of its predecessor the Rutland 503 with a number of enhancements including performance and styling.

The Features

Trickle charges in wind speeds as low as 5 knots
That means more running time, more power generated.

"Safety turbine" is a single injection moulding joining the tips of the 6 aerofoil blades with an outer ring
Where space is at a premium on board the outer ring provides protection from the spinning blade tips
The blades won't get tangled in your rigging

Low friction 3 phase alternator
gives a smooth and silent output

The Rutland 504 generator's design is Marlec's unique high inertia alternator
It maintains momentum between gusts of wind like a flywheel where other turbine designs stall
This adds up to more free power generated into your battery

Produces 25 Watts in 19 knots
That's a very useful nominal 2A @ 12V charge into the battery
Produces up to 60 Watts, nominally 5 Amps @ 12 Volts

For the 2009 season we have introduced a new streamlined design
Latest and improved materials have greater UV stability
Innovation is our watchword so we can continuously deliver best efficiencies and quality in our products

Brushless alternator and fixed shaft
The unique design features a fixed rather than rotating shaft which negates the need for brush gear. It is a simple and maintenance-free design
The alternator windings and magnets are encapsulated in glass fibre for improved protection against stator winding failure

360 degree free rotation on the mounting pole
The "Post Adaptor" that secures the turbine to the pole carries the slip ring and brush gear enabling the turbine to rotate 360degrees freely to find the wind without wires twisting inside the mounting pole.
This post adaptor is distinctively blue anodised enabling the user to select either an aluminium or stainless steel pole without corrosion concerns

Durable construction and modern materials
Marlec uses modern, durable materials giving our customers products with many years of trouble free service even under the harsh conditions of a marine environment.

Turbine diameter of 510mm
The Rutland 504 very efficiently converts wind power into useable energy from a conveniently small turbine diameter.

Compact turning radius of just 304mm
Ideal when space is at a premium at the stern of the boat
