D400 Wind Generators
It’s taken a little longer than expected to get the second D400 Wind generator up on the starboard side of the stern. Since taking down the Four Winds that self destructed on us a few years back we had always intended to have two wind generators working for our power requirements, now the results are finally in and we can’t say enough about, what a difference it has made. The D400 wind generator manufactured by Eclectic Energy in England and imported by the DC Dynamics Division of Southeast Marine Services in Oregon, features a new a larger tail. Comparing the two generators side by side (older D400 and newer) we can see that the longer tail helps the generator to turn into the wind more effectively. Last night, two generators running side by side, in gusts up to 36 kts. were still quieter than the Kiss Wind Generator behind us and the Air X Generator that we can hear from a couple of boats away here in Boot Key harbor Marathon. Today we saw an average output of 35 amps & peaks of 62 amps in winds of 18-25 and gusts up to 32, Trans Marine Pro is proud to be the authorized East Coast Dealer & Installer for the D400 wind generators, we wouldn’t sell you anything that we wouldn’t use or test on our own vessel SV Tranquility.
