Lima Electric Introduces Line O f Single-Phase A l t e r n a t o r s

— L i t e r a t u r e O f f e r ed Lima Electric Company announced the availability of a new line of single phase alternators for marine and industrial service. Designed in the compact 282 frame, the new design provides superior single phase electrical performance in a rugged mechanical structure.

According to Mike Spees, marketing manager, "The patented excitation system based on proven MAC concepts provides excellent 120/ 240 V, 4 wire single-phase performance including 3 percent voltage regulation and .5 hp/kw electric motor starting capability. Inherently, the alternator provides 300 percent short circuit current plus a volts-per-hertz characteristic for underspeed protection." "Mechanically, the 282 frame is designed for strength and compactness providing more kw/ pound in a rigid cast aluminum frame and bearing carrier. The steel insert in the bearing carrier is machined to very close tolerances and has an ' 0 ' ring insert to discourage wear and provide extended bearing operating life. All electrical components are moisture and fungus protected from adverse environments." On shipboard, the MAC 282 frame provides reliable single phase power for lights, radio and navigation, winches, refrigeration, air conditioner, pumps and a host of other applications. On land, this same machine is ideal for light towers, communication stations and electric tools for construction as well as emergency applications for safety of life and property.

Available ratings range from 5 through 8.5 kw, single phase, in a single and two bearing configuration adaptable to all popular diesel and gasoline engines.
