Standard Version:
The standard P300-PRO Engines have a "normal" starter motor, without generator (to save costs, e.g., for hobby applications). With the "JetCat-PRO" interface, the engines can easily be used for RC model applications. The PRO interface already integrates the full functionality of the telemetry adapter.
Generator Version PRO-GL:
This version consists of a brushless and non-contact starter/generator system. The generator is "soft coupled," rotating at a lower speed than the turbine shaft itself (patent pending). A built-in DC/DC converter with additional charge control enables buffering/recharging of the turbine battery. The charging system supplies energy to the engine battery at idle speed, with approx. 85W power output. The "soft" coupling limits the generator’s power output.
Generator Version PRO-GH:
This version consists of a brushless and non-contact starter/generator. The generator is "hard coupled" to the turbine shaft (no mechanical contact), rotating at the same speed as the turbine. This configuration allows higher power output of the generator (900W) and provides an unregulated 3-phase AC supply. Three-phase voltage varies proportionally with turbine speed. Typical no-load DC voltage is approx. 12V / 7.5A (33,000 1/min) and 35V / 22A (100,000 1/min) when loaded with a 1.5 Ohm resistor behind a rectifier network (6x High Power Schottky diodes).
