General Characteristics:
The Linz Electric PRO18S B/4 is a 4-pole, brushless, self-excited synchronous alternator designed for heavy-duty generator applications. It uses an AVR system (HVR11 or HVR30) ensuring ±1% voltage regulation accuracy. Rated for operation at 1500 rpm (50 Hz) and 1800 rpm (60 Hz), the alternator complies with EN60034-1, ISO 8528-3, and EN55011 standards.
