When you have found out the head and flow rate at your site, the chart on the next page will

quickly tell you the maximum power you can generate (refer to black angled lines indicate

100W to 12kW).

The coloured zones refer to the range for each product type:

The red lines are 1, 2, 5, 10 PowerSpout Pelton (PLT) turbines respectively

The yellow lines are 1, 2, 5, 10 PowerSpout Turgo (TRG) turbines respectively

The blue lines are 1, 2, 5, 10 PowerSpout Low Head (LH) turbines respectively

For example a site with a head of 20m, and flow of 10l/s can generate about 1000 W with 1

TRG or 2 PLT turbines.

Once you have identified the most suitable turbine type(s), use the Advanced Calculation

Tools at www.powerspout.com to perform accurate site calculations. The Advanced

Calculator will help you find the best sizes of pipe and cable for the site, and predict the net

power output for each possible size that you might choose.
