EnCurrent Hydro Turbines

5 and 10 kW Specifications

ENC-005-F4 ENC-005-F4L ENC-010-F4

EnCurrent Features and Benefits
 Generates electricity with no greenhouse gas emissions.
 Harnesses the energy from moving water without the
need for dams, barrages or penstocks.
 Minimal civil works required with installation.
 Low fish mortality rates due to slow rotational speed and
open design.
 Grid connected or standalone operation.
 Permanent Magnet generator allows the turbine to
run at peak performance in a wide range of water flows.
 Drive train and generator positioned above the
waterline for system longevity and ease of maintenance.
 Safety brake for high water flow or low power
conditions. ENC-005-F4

 Wetted materials made of aluminum or coated steel.

• 005-F4L model features the larger 010-F4 rotor for low speed sites.

Inverters
 For standalone applications, the 5 kW Turbines use one (1) off-grid in-
verter. The 10 kW Turbines use one (1) off-grid inverter and one (1) grid-
tie inverter.

 For grid-tie applications the 5 kW Turbines use one (1) grid-tie inverter.
The 10 kW Turbines use two (2) grid-tie inverters.

 Country and region specific inverters are available for adherence to local
electrical codes. For more information on your area, contact sales at
