Compact turbine with a safety ring lining the circumference of the rotor to protect the blades. This small British-designed turbine is ideal for mobile caravans, small holiday homes and boats. Marlec say that the simple design incorporates "reliable tried and tested technology" to produce a low maintenance turbine at a very reasonable price. rutland 503 power output curveThe graph below shows the typical power produced (in Watts) for the Rutland 503 at different wind speeds.
