Zeus 24V 4kW Low Turn On (LTO) Vortec Alternator with Isolated Ground
The ARCO Zeus 24v 4kW LTO alternator turns on at lower RPMs, runs cooler, and provides more power than older designs that are larger and heavier. This alternator continuously generates over 1.4kW (51 Amps) at just under 1,500 RPM and almost 2.4kW (87 Amps) at 2,000 Alternator RPM. Put in real-world terms, a marine diesel engine idling at 750 RPM with a 2:1 pulley ratio is generating over 1.5kW (55 Amps), and a Mercedes Sprinter at 750 RPM with a 3.21:1 ratio is generating over 2.5kW (91 Amps)!
The ARCO Zeus 24v 4kW alternator turns on at lower RPMs, runs cooler, and provides more power than older designs that are larger and heavier. The newest generation of 24V performance has arrived.
Competitor’s 24V alternators utilize a 12V rotor and field current which is less efficient and limits output at all RPMs. ARCO utilizes a native 24V rotor and field current. This results in our 24V alternator running cooler than competitor’s 24V alternators, having a direct impact on the alternator lifespan.
