About this product

The ARCO Marine Zeus A8000-48V is an 8kW alternator with an isolated ground, designed for high-energy production in marine, RV, military, and commercial applications. Unlike units that adapt 12V rotors, this alternator utilizes a native 48V rotor and field current for increased efficiency and cooler operating temperatures. Its performance is optimized for low-RPM output, making it effective for charging large battery banks and reducing reliance on traditional generators.

Key Features and Specifications:

  • Output: Sustains up to 78 Amps (4,173 Watts) at 2,500 RPM and reaches peak output of 180 Amps (9,360 Watts) at 9,000 RPM.
  • Mounting: J180 4 in. saddle-style mount, commonly replacing Volvo Penta and industrial-based engines.
  • Design: Features dual cooling fans, an externally mounted rectifier, and heat-shedding E-Coat/Cerakote finish for durability.
  • Voltage: 48V (Requires external regulation; ARCO Zeus Bluetooth regulator recommended).
  • Weight: 15.89 lbs.
  • Certification: SAE J1171 certified.
  • Construction: Proudly made in the U.S.A.
  • Standard Pulley: 49K6 (6-groove, 49mm) included.
  • Max Operating Temperature: 100°C (212°F).

This unit is designed for external regulation only and features a 16-pole rotor with a 138mm stator size. All necessary pulley hardware is included.
