Chasing 500 Watts, Big Pelton Turbine

This testing was done to confirm the diameter and thus operating RPM, Volts, and Amps are inline with expectations to move forward with a Turgo Runner of the same size in a stainless housing. Current bottlenecks: -Still only a 12V DC system, the Midnite Classic doesn't like to PWM down to 12V from high input voltages. -Input wires are now a limitation, amps are higher and the extension cord I'm using is only 16 gauge. I'm pusing 7 Amps through it which over the distance probably results in a noticable difference. I have 4 gauge aluminum wire to bury. -Lots of windage from water in the housing, a Turgo will remedy most of this. -Jet alignment is still tricky and not as finely adjustable as I would like. *****My Turbine Parts List***** --The following are affiliate links, purchasing through these helps the channel. --I have provided links to multiple suppliers where available.
