Southwest Windpower Whisper 200
 |
The versatile Whisper 200 powers applications from remote homes to water pumping. Get the most out of the wind with a larger swept area. The Whisper 200’s 9-foot (2.7 m) blade has almost twice the swept area of the Whisper 100, yielding twice the energy. A high voltage model is available for transmission over long distances.
The Whisper 200 does produce more sound than it’s 100 counterpart, but it does produce almost twice the power.
In addition to its patented smooth acting side furling design, the Whisper 200 has a number of new features that make it ideal for any new or existing photovotaic system:
- A new four bearing spindle for a smoother operation and longer life
- An upgraded Yaw shaft that more efficiently delivers current to your batteries
- New bronze bushing and larger diameter furling pin for smoother furling action
- New castings that allow easy access to the stator for changing voltage

Whisper Controller
Unlike many other small wind systems, the Whisper 200 ships with a controller that includes a diversion load to ensure quiet safe operation of your wind turbine when the batteries are charged.
It installs in minutes and it protects both your wind turbine and battery. The Whisper controller fits easily inside your battery room. Add the optional LCD display and you will instantly receive real time data on the performance of your Whisper 200.
The display can be mounted on the controller or up to 1000 feet (300 meters) away letting you know what is happening. You can even add an anemometer to your controller and now you can measure wind speed and compare it to the output to make sure you are getting the most from your Whisper 200.
Exclusive to the Whisper, the side-furling Angle-Governor protects the turbine in high winds by turning the alternator and blades out of the wind, reducing turbine exposure. Unlike other wind turbines that lose as much as 80% of their output when furled, the Angle-Governor allows the Whisper to achieve maximum output in any wind.
