  • The WindBlue DC-540 Permanent Magnet Alternator PMA equipped with 3-phase AC and standard DC output connections.  Note: "AC Output Connection Kit" required for use with the 3-phase AC Output connector. (sold separately)  
  • TLG Windpower Products NEW 5 Foot 4 inch Diameter "Cy-CloneRotor Blades perfectly match our generators providing increased performance in high wind situations while still maintaining great low wind performance.

         Generator Features:

  • Completely Brushless Alternator eliminates the need for maintenance and reduces friction
  • NEW !! Now equipped with a 3-phase AC Output pigtail. This small black connector on the back of the unit allows you to run less costly 3-conductor wire to your battery location instead of large heavy battery cables. Once at the battery location the 3-phase AC is fed into a rectifier box (sold separately) and converted to DC for connection to the battery.
    Note:  WindBlue AC output equipped alternators can still be connected for DC output by using the battery terminal on the back of alternator, however, only one output should be connected to your batteries at a time. The other should be left unconnected. 
  •  WARNING: The 3-phase AC output connector DOES NOT make your alternator a “Grid-Tie” unit so don’t try to wire the AC leads into the fuse box of your house as death, fire, and destruction will likely result !!
  • Specially wound Low RPM Output stator.
  • Super Strong N42 grade Neodymium rare earth magnets in its core to replace the inefficient electromagnetic field coil
  • Zero Cogging
  • It is built using Brand New GM Delco alternator components including NEW Stator Coils, factory balanced shafts and New Rotor Pole Shoes. Replacement bearings and parts will be available for years

  • Built-in rectifier provides DC output if you don't want to use the 3-phase AC output connection. (DC output is unregulated)
  • Built to last with a baked on clear ceramic finish that will last for years in harsh outdoor environments
  • 90 day full replacement warranty on all units  (Warranty void if PMA has been opened or tampered with)

      Rotor Blade Features:

  • Proven design by one of the Best Blade Manufactures in the Industry, TLG Windpower Products
  • 5 Foot 4 inch (64") in Diameter
  • 3/16 Inch ThickSteel Hub and 1/8 Inch Thick Laser Cut Aircraft Grade Aluminum Blades for Maximum Strength and Durability
  • Super Quiet Design, If you own a set of those Noisy Black Plastic Blades sold by fledgling wind turbine companies you won't believe the difference
  • Blade Hub comes Unpainted ready to Prime and Paint the color of your choice. The Blades can be waxed, or painted with a clear coat finish but even if left untouched they will remain shiny for a long time

 Have you seen some of the Ads on EBay and other internet sites selling other Delco Alternator Conversion Wind Generator Kits claiming outputs of "800 Watts"  - "1000 Watts" or even More ?? Have you read the fine print at what wind speed they are said to be making this power at ??

 

 Well here it is in BIG PRINT

Over 70 Miles Per Hour !! 

In most areas of the country the wind only blows over 70 MPH maybe twice a year during a Large Thunderstorm and you're in the storm cellar hoping the roof is still on when you come out!!

The fact is in most areas of the country the average winds are less than 20 MPH. That is why we built this kit. Specifically designed for Low Wind areas. This unit cuts-in and starts charging a 12 Volt battery in just a 7 MPH wind. No gimmicks or fancy sales pitch just the REAL TRUTH.
 
The chart below represents the actual output of this kit. We are not afraid to show you our actual output chart. Others may sell wind generator kits based on maximum output in Hurricane Force Winds but we want to let YOU make an Intelligent Decision based on the Everyday Output from our Kits.  

Chart represents actual charge into a 12 Volt Battery.

We have found that a small steady charge in Low Winds is better than waiting for a windy day to come around. We have tested some of the Thin Black Plastic Blades sold by Hydrogen Appliances (or you may know him by the EBay seller ID: qaz661). They don't even start turning until the wind reaches 12 MPH!! No Joke. These TLG Blades are Incredible!

 And don't forget to check out our FAQ Page to help answer some of your questions but feel free to send an e-mail to questions@windbluepower.com if you need further information.

Excellent, Well made, works as stated ... June 25, 2009
Reviewer: Lawrence Portell from Joplin, MO United States  
I had modified an alternator myself using the permanent magnet rotor and the low wind speed winding.  It actually starts charging at about 5~6 mph.  Recently I lost my setup to 95 mph winds and am just getting around to get it back up and running.  I recommend going up a step or two in the sizing of the guy wires.  Use the double clamp method on all guy wires for the most secure step up.  You will not regret it in the long run if you ever run into a similar situation.  I do recommend the kit over messing with the old alternators, the cost savings is very small.

Exactly as advertised April 14, 2009
Reviewer: Evan McCaw from Ames, IA United States  
I am currently in Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University and I have been studying and testing wind turbines for a school project.  We have tested the 540 PMA with a set of PVC blades similar to the size and shape of the ones on this kit.  We have found that the power output matches the graph on this page very closely.  This is not theoretical output.  We measured real output into a 12 volt battery, through a charge controller and through average sized wires.  I'm very impressed by the honesty of the claims on this site.  You can really expect to charge a battery in about 6-7 mph of wind.

Great Value! I am very Impressed. July 8, 2008
Reviewer: Bently Harris from Cleveland, GA United States  
I have built DIY wind turbines before and have spent in excess of the price of this kit.

~The first thing I noticed when I received the package... was the packaging it self. This company takes the time to properly package this wind turbine for shipping.

~Then the goodies... Heavy duty steel construction for the frame, Heavy gauge aluminum for the Rotor and Tail, then that great alternator.

~This is the way I would build a product. I am very Impressed. Thanks Guys!
