Pelton wheels are common turbine for small hydro-power, when the available water source has relatively high hydraulic head at low flow rates, where the Pelton wheel is most efficient. Pelton wheels are made in all sizes, from the smallest micro Hydro Systems to much larger than the small 10 MW units would require.
In the realm of hydroelectric innovation, Suneco Hydro introduces its cutting-edge 1200KW Pelton Turbine, a powerhouse designed to efficiently harness the energy of high-head water sources. With a flow rate of 0.60m³/s and an impressive water head of 260m, this turbine stands as a beacon of efficiency and sustainability. Operating seamlessly at both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, with a voltage of 6300V, the SFW1200 Brushless Excitation Generator and Stainless Steel Runner embody Suneco Hydro's commitment to quality and durability.
The Pelton wheel, at the core of this turbine, exemplifies the impulse type water turbine design. Crafted to ensure the runner runs at half the speed of the water jet, it maximizes energy extraction, boasting an efficiency range of 92%-95%. This efficiency, coupled with the ability to adapt to scenarios with a small ratio of flow and head, positions the Pelton Turbine as an ideal choice for small hydro-power applications.
Advantages of the Pelton wheel extend to its adaptability to head changes, suitability for situations with a large ratio of pipeline to head, and minimal construction requirements. Its construction quantity is notably small, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. The Pelton Turbine's versatility is evident in its application range, spanning from micro Hydro Systems to larger units exceeding 10 MW.
Suneco Hydro's Pelton Turbine offers a unique solution for power generation, with an output ranging from 50KW to 500MW. Notably, it accommodates a broad head range of 30m to 3000m. What sets it apart is its ability to operate without the need for a dam and draft tube, significantly reducing construction costs and environmental impact. The runner's operation under atmospheric pressure eliminates the need for a pressure overflow channel, simplifying design without compromising performance.
In conclusion, Suneco Hydro's 1200KW Pelton Turbine combines efficiency, adaptability, and environmental consciousness. It stands as a testament to Suneco Hydro's commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions, contributing to a greener and more efficient future in the realm of hydroelectric power generation.

The Pelton wheel is an impulse-type water turbine and is designed so that the rim of the drive wheel—also called a runner, runs at half the speed of the water jet.
This design has the water leaving the wheel with very little speed; thus extracting almost all of the water's impulse energy—making it a very efficient turbine.
Pelton wheels are common turbines for small hydro-power when the available water source has relatively high hydraulic head at low flow rates, where the Pelton wheel is most efficient.
Pelton wheels are made in all sizes, from the smallest micro Hydro Systems to much larger than the small 10 MW units would require.
Advantages of the Pelton wheel
1. Adapt to the situation that the ratio of flow and head is relatively small.
2. The weighted average efficiency is very high, and it has high efficiency in the whole operation range. In particular, the advanced Pelton turbine can achieve an average efficiency of more than 93% in the load range of 30% ~ 110%.
3. Strong adaptability to head change
4. It is also very suitable for those with large ratio of pipeline to head.
5. The construction quantity is small.
Using a Pelton turbine for power generation, the output range can be from 50KW to 500MW, which can apply to the larger head range of 30m to 3000m. Generally, there is no need for a dam and draft tube.
The construction cost is only a fraction of that of other types of water turbine generator units, and the impact on the natural environment is also very small.
Since the runner operates in the runner chamber under atmospheric pressure, the sealing requirement of the pressure overflow channel can be omitted.
