General
Optimised for the rough environment of the rotor hub on a wind
turbine, the MotionController GEL 8400 meets all requirements
arising in installation locations worldwide - whether onshore or
offshore. As the Hot Climate Version (HCV) in the hot and humid area of South China or as the Cold Climate Version (CCV)
for -20 °C temperatures at 1500 m altitude in the Central Asian
Plateau. As the successor to the proven GEL 823x and GEL
825x, the new GEL 8400 combines years of experience with a
performance increase in this product family.
