General Characteristics:
The Linz Electric PRO18L F/4 is a self-excited, brushless, three-phase synchronous alternator engineered for heavy-duty generator systems. It operates with an AVR-controlled excitation system (models HVR11 or HVR30) that maintains voltage stability within ±1 %. Designed for 1500 rpm (50 Hz) or 1800 rpm (60 Hz), it provides a power factor of 0.8 and complies with EN60034-1, ISO 8528-3, and EN55011 standards.
