The Furlmatic 910-3 is Marlec's upgraded model (1998) of the highly successful FM910 windcharger. The FM910-3 incorporates our latest 3-phase alternator, taken from the Rutland 913 design which delivers a further 25% more power than the original model. It retains its basic design which has been proven time and again in the harshest of environments under critical power supply requirements eg. seismic monitoring In Antarctica, communications for Himalayan expeditions.
The Furlmatic model has a "furling" device that tilts the turbine horizontally at right angles to the prevailing wind at windspeeds above 35mph. This protects the turbine from the forces of excessive winds and reduces stresses on the turbine and tower.
Wherever there is a site that is unattended, remote and exposed the FM910-3 can be relied on. Professional applications such as monitoring, telemetry, communications, isolated agricultural uses, navigation aids, military field applications, rural street lighting, remote homes and many more.

Housed in attractive white case with simple to follow graphics for installation.
- Other System Components
Batteries, tower, cable & connectors
Other System Components:
- Batteries - We recommend deep cycle lead acid batteries, sealed or non-sealed, of a minimum capacity of 75AH @ 12V / 24V
- Cable - Cable thickness depends on the overall length used between the wind generator, regulator and battery. For distances up to 20m a cable thickness of 2.5mm is recommended. The regulator should always be sited within 1.5m of the battery to minimise voltage losses and ensure accuracy of battery regulation.
- Mounting pole for land based systems -the 910-3 can be installed on land using a 6m length of 61mm outside diameter tube. The mounting pole can be fixed into the ground or on pivot type base. A minimum height of 6m and of 4 guy wires is recommended. More details are given in the installation manual.
