Alternators
What is an Alternator?
An Alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy via an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). This is typically coupled to the engine via a single bearing mounted on the engine crankcase. The AVR regulates alternator output to within prescribed limits.
In large sets, a two-bearing alternator may be used with both the engine and alternator mounted onto a common base frame with flexible coupling. Both single and three-phase alternators are available. Within larger three-phase generator sets, the alternator may include a transformer in its output stage for direct connection to the final load.
Available alternators
Borri recommend and supply both Newage Stamford and Mecc Alte alternators to pair with any of the Diesel Generator Engines we supply. Click the logos below for some more information on the two manufacturers and ranges.
