Engineered for superior performance and efficiency, this alternator features an isolated ground for enhanced safety in demanding marine environments. Its innovative design ensures power generation at lower RPMs and runs cooler than traditional alternatives, extending its lifespan. Proudly made in the U.S.A. and SAE J1171 Certified for ignition protection, the Zeus Alternator is the reliable choice for marine, RV, and commercial applications. Upgrade your power generation for sustained, efficient performance today.

Key Benefits & Specifications:

  • Robust Power Output: Delivers a rated 4kW of power, with a sustained cruising output of 5.1kW PTO (3,575 Watts / 130 Amps) and a maximum output (cold, 9,000 RPM) of 5.7kW PTO (3,960 Watts / 144 Amps).
  • Low Turn On (LTO) Design: Generates power at just 1,072 Alternator RPM, providing over 1.4kW (51 Amps) at under 1,500 RPM. A marine diesel engine idling at 750 RPM with a 2:1 pulley ratio can generate over 1.5kW (55 Amps).
  • Enhanced Cooling & Durability: Features a native 24V rotor and field current, dual cooling fans, heat-shedding E-coating, and an external rectifier for significantly cooler operation and extended alternator lifespan.
  • Isolated Ground: Provides critical protection against stray current corrosion, essential for marine electrical systems.
  • Certified Safety & Quality: SAE J1171 Certified for ignition protection, ensuring compliance with US Coast Guard requirements for gasoline engine applications, and proudly made in the U.S.A.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of uses including marine, RV, military, and commercial power systems.
  • Rapid Battery Charging: Engineered for high energy production to rapidly charge large battery banks, reducing reliance on a separate generator.
  • Compact & Lightweight: Weighs only 15.89lbs (7.2kg), offering a powerful solution in a manageable package.

Compatibility & Pairings:

  • Replaces Mando-type alternators utilizing Vortec/GM pad mounting feet.
  • Commonly found on many Mercruiser and Volvo Penta 3.0GLM, 3.0GLP, 4.3GXi, 5.7GiL, and 5.7GXiL Marine Engines.
