David: More info is needed, like RPM of the generator, the peripheral velocity of the Turbine is around 31 feet/sec (9.5 meter/sec.) For direct Turbine attachment to a generator, a low RPM gen is needed to get the largest Turbine diameter.
What size diameter Pelton are you planning to have ?. 1.5 inches diameter jets hmmmm !!! HANDLING and efficiency may not go together Better give all the details of the Pelton and the setup, also the reasons for your decisions in this project. RPM of the generator. If you want, send direct emails to me.
