The Pacific 100 100W
Designed to survive the severe marine environment in permanent installations on yachts as a 'fit and forget' unit. It is, however, found in many other applications such as weekend chalets, radio repeaters, navigation equipment or anywhere that requires 12v or 24v battery charging.
Up to 100 watts of power is developed by the permanent magnet alternator. The design allows the charging of totally flat batteries and prevents reverse current flow due to internal rectifiers. The machine has no commutator brushes to wear out and cannot overheat. It requires no thermal cut-outs, chokes or other forms of control to safeguard generator protect windings from burnout. Slip rings and brush gear allow generator to seek the wind and feed two wires connecting directly to the battery.
Excellent corrosion resistance is achieved by the exclusive use of aluminium alloy, stainless steel and plastic materials for all external parts, backed up by the comprehensive use of rubber seals and topped off by a stoved (white) paint finish.
Especially important for unattended and remote installations. Achieved by extreme simplicity of direct drive alternator and total sealing of internal electrical and mechanical parts. Built to professional standards. Easily outlasts cheap and lightweight alternatives. Offers superior value for money.
In ten years of coastal operation, an Ampair Pacific wind generator does as many revolutions as the engine of a car on a one million mile journey.
Optimised for use on yachts, where space is limited and larger units would be unsafe.

The Pacific 100 output is continuously available. Maximum current automatically flattens out at a safe value, due to self-inductance of the heavy duty windings.
Smooth running and quiet Balanced six-bladed wind turbine with blades replaceable as matched pairs.
Fully enclosed and sealed pivot and slip ring assembly allows unlimited
weather cocking. Compact tail fin minimises turning radius.
Pivot axis aligned with centre of gravity of unit to minimise effects of yacht motion.
For on board safety, wind turbine must be raised to a minimum of 8ft 6ins (2.6m) above base level so that blade tips clear head height.
Select mounting from options below. If designing your own structure, ensure that the top support pole accepts the Pacific pivot shaft (40mm diameter)
Mizzen Bracket: this is bolted or riveted to the mast and is constructed of 4in (102mm) x 2in (51mm) aluminium alloy box section to withstand torsional loading from any wind direction. Finish is stoved white paint. This bracket can be fitted to masts of differing dimensions by bending the fixing plates to suit or packing with spacers.
Stern Mounting Kit this consists of two white stoved aluminium extension tubes and joiners, strut to backstay, two stainless steel wire side stays, all necessary fasteners and 2 base mounting brackets.
