Rutland FM1803-2 Windcharger 12V & 24V with Control Unit
Land Based Windchargers
When you need power at a remote site the Furlmatic model Windchargers provide a reliable and cost effective solution. Power generated can be used for off grid homes, remote telecommunications, monitoring, and electric fences, avoiding the costly and inconvenient installation of grid power.
The Furlmatic Windchargers protect themselves by reducing the rotational speed of the turbine in extremely high winds in a design that continues to stand the test of time. For temporary installations and land installations the smaller wind turbines can be used to keep batteries topped up.
About The Rutland FM1803 Windcharger
Marlec’s FM1803-2 Furlmatic Windcharger makes generating power at remote sites possible and at an affordable cost too. This 1.8M diameter turbine, designed for use on land is very powerful for its size and with a proven track record behind it you can rely on it too, it’s built to last.

Materials
Marlec construct the Rutland wind turbines using a range of modern and traditional high quality materials which are designed to endure in a marine environment. They have innovated in the field by introducing light weight but robust high density nylon and glass reinforced materials that are UV stable alongside marine grade aluminium, stainless steel, sealed for life bearings and other carefully selected and precision worked materials in their UK factory.
Battery Management
The Rutland 1803 comes with the MPC1 Controller which protects batteries against overcharge. A digital LED display shows battery voltage switching points are automatically adjusted for ambient temperature to maintain optimum battery performance. MPC1 Controller incorporates 4 key features; 3 phase trasnformer to reduce voltage, a rectifier to convert AC to DC an electronic controller and battery overcharge protection.
