MARIO: Donde estas localizado ?.
Why don't you think in a Turgo Turbine, it may cost less than the one you may buy. Check with Joe Hartvigsen his Web Page http://h-hydro.com and his emails [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] he sells them in plastic and stainless steel. Your site without calculating the friction losses seems to have around 9.5 KW and 19 KW respectively. Using the 450 mm Pelton data, the RPM may be around 968 RPM for your generator -- you have not indicated the frequency of the generator and the number of poles to define the required generator RPM. For this size it is best not to have multiplier belts but a direct drive between the Turbine and the Generator to save several % points. I , at this time, will not spend my time in calculating all the parameters, since the Pelton seems to be for much larger power generation -- can you certify the dimensions of the Pelton ?. I wonder about : Max buckets wide - 120mm What type of ELC controller are you going to have ?. Others may give you more information.
