Southwest Windpower Whisper Wind Turbines

Whisper wind turbines feature a patented side furling angle governor to protect the turbine in high winds by turning the alternator and blades out of the wind. Other features include field adjustable voltage, a four bearing spindle for efficiency, upgraded yaw shaft and a new bushing for smoother operation. Voltage is factory set at 24 Vdc and is adjustable to 12/36/48 Vdc. High voltage versions of the Whisper 200 and 500 produce 220 Vac transmitting to a step down transformer that changes it to nominal system voltage (transformer sold separately). High voltage versions are used in applications where there is a long distance from the turbine to the batteries.

Every Whisper 100 and 200 comes with the Whisper Charge Controller except for “HV” and pump models. The SCR-based
shunt type controller, housed in a single unit, is dedicated to wind only. LED lights indicate regulation operation and Power ON. Other features include individually rectified phases, battery/turbine shunt isolation, quiet diversion-powered fan, a large heat sink and easy access block connectors for turbine and battery wires.
