Alternator

Description

A range of quality dual voltage **0/**5 V single/three phase alternators available in a range of sizes and prices, so you can find the configuration that works best for your application.

The wide range of power ratings available in this range of alternators make them ideally suitable to operate as a primary AC power source for standard electrical lighting, household appliances, and general small scale residential stationary use.

These units employ a harmonic excitation winding to allow them to provide self excitation and a stable output without a separate voltage regulator. This simple system minimizes the complexity and has proven reliable in operation. This range of alternators is designed for continuous duty operation within their power ratings. When driven at a constant rotational speed they generate current at a constant AC voltage and frequency. The internal connections may be changed to provide either **0/**5 V. Conversion between nominal voltages is simply a matter of changing contacts on a terminal strip inside the terminal box. These alternators may be coupled to a static prime mover (driving engine) either by a direct shaft to shaft coupling or by conventional belt and pulleys. The AC frequency of the output power is determined solely by the speed of rotation of the prime mover, the alternators must spin at ***0 RPM to generate *0Hz power. They can be driven either clockwise or anti clockwise to suit your application.
