Alternator PRO18L F/4

Linz Electric PRO18L F/4 Alternator – 50 kVA Three-Phase Brushless Alternator with AVR

The PRO18L F/4 alternator from Linz Electric is a 4-pole, three-phase brushless synchronous alternator with AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) for stable and precise power generation. Delivering 50 kVA at 50 Hz and 60 kVA at 60 Hz, it provides excellent efficiency (up to 92%) and low harmonic distortion (<3 % THD). Built with Class H insulation, IP23 protection, and a self-excited control system, the PRO18L F/4 ensures long-term reliability and durability for industrial generator sets operating in demanding environments.
