16KVA 12.8KW Alternator – IEP164D
IEP164D is a generator alternator, rated 16 kVA / 12.8 kW for building or repowering a diesel generating set.
About this part
The alternator converts the engine's mechanical power into electricity. Its rating has to match the engine: an undersized alternator overheats, an oversized one adds cost without adding usable power.
Features
- Premium Brushless Design with Advanced AVR Technology
- Class H Insulation for Superior Temperature Management
- IP22 Protection Rating for Enhanced Durability
- Precision-engineered 4-pole Configuration
- 1500 RPM for 50Hz / 1800 RPM for 60Hz Operation
- Outstanding Voltage Regulation (±1.0%)
- Robust Short Circuit Protection
- Exceptional Waveform Quality (TIF<50, THF<2%)
When to replace it
- Building a new generating set
- Replacing an alternator with damaged windings
- Upgrading a set to a different output rating
Before you order
Rate the alternator for the engine's output at your site conditions; altitude and high ambient temperature both reduce what it can deliver.
Not sure it is the right one? A photo of the old part and the nameplate of the machine it came off is usually all the counter needs to confirm a match.
Questions
What is the difference between kVA and kW?
kVA is the apparent power the alternator can supply; kW is the real power at a 0.8 power factor. A 100 kVA alternator delivers about 80 kW.
What does single bearing mean?
The alternator has one bearing at the non-drive end. The drive end is supported by the engine flywheel through a flexible coupling.
