Alternator PRO18L G/4

Linz Electric PRO18L G/4 Alternator – 60 kVA Three-Phase High-Efficiency Brushless Alternator

The PRO18L G/4 alternator from Linz Electric is a robust 4-pole, three-phase, brushless synchronous alternator engineered for industrial generator applications. Delivering 60 kVA at 50 Hz and 72 kVA at 60 Hz, it provides excellent voltage stability with AVR regulation, low harmonic distortion (<3% THD), and high operating efficiency (up to 92%). Built with Class H insulation, IP23 protection, and a self-excited excitation system, the PRO18L G/4 ensures reliable, long-lasting performance even under demanding load and environmental conditions.

  • General Characteristics:

    The Linz Electric PRO18L G/4 is a brushless, self-excited, three-phase synchronous alternator designed for medium-to-heavy-duty generator sets. It uses an AVR-controlled excitation system (HVR11 or HVR30) that maintains ±1% voltage regulation accuracy. Operating at 1500 rpm (50 Hz) or 1800 rpm (60 Hz), the alternator is fully compliant with EN60034-1, ISO 8528-3, and EN55011 standards.
