Mecc Alte’s V-Type range is the result of a series of discussions where OEMs and end-users highlighted application requirements with Mecc Alte experts.
A key outcome was the need for alternators that could continuously work in harsh environments.
“We call the V-Type our most resilient alternator yet,” says the company’s group marketing director, Jonathan Stokes. “It has been created specifically to deliver reliable power generation when working in harsh environments, for example those with extreme heat or cold, or high levels of rain or dust, often in remote locations.”
Naturally, given the tough environments in which the alternator range is used, the V-Type underwent rigorous testing.
Superior durability is built into the design as standard to guarantee power in locations where it may be challenging to carry out maintenance procedures associated with less resilient models.
V-Type TOTAL+, for example, is an exclusive winding treatment with a specification that’s designed to be more resilient. Reinforced tape is also used around the lower radius of the stator, providing an external covering for the reinforced NDE winding head base.
Other enhancements that add to V-Type range’s exceptional durability and longevity include 30,000 premium bearing hours for increased reliability, taping and VTP treatment for the excitor stator, TOTAL+ reinforcement of the lower lamination slats for insulation protection, and premium paint that includes an anti-rust treatment.
The range also comes with the MAUX Power Boost Auxiliary Winding System as standard across the range. The MAUX system provides high performance over standard shunt systems, thanks to over 300% forced short circuit current for up to 20 seconds.
An extended warranty is also standard as part of the range.
With these enhancements the V-Type is built to last as part of a robust power generator set that is ideally suited to its operating conditions, environment, and specified application.
Mecc Alte is a high-volume manufacturer that produces a diverse range of alternators, including 2-pole and 4-pole alternators, as well as medium and high voltage alternators, spanning 1 – 5000kVA.
