Radial Flux Technology (RFT)
T Flux trials over a decade RFT a derived technology from T Flux RFT prototype tested by Garrad Hassan SWT designs complete to prototype
4
Key Features Light and Compact due to its innovative design.
Conventional Generator Light and Compact due to its innovative design. Unique Permanent Magnet Technology High Efficiency allows use of smaller drive engine Radial Flux Generator

Wind Turbine RFT Benefits
A low rpm permanent magnet direct drive replaces gearbox and high rpm generator Jacobs (US) used for comparison analysis Generator/Gearbox weight reduced by 43% Electrical generation efficiency increased 30%
