Detailed description
Detailed description
Mastervolt’s Alpha Compact 28/150 alternator is a high-performance charging solution designed for vessels equipped with large-capacity 24V battery banks. With a 150-amp output current, this model ensures fast and optimal recharging, even at low engine speeds.
Compact design and power-to-weight ratio
Distinct from the standard Alpha series due to its reduced footprint, the Alpha Compact range was developed to fit in tight engine compartments. Weighing just 7.9 kg, this 28/150 model delivers exceptional power density. Its internal architecture promotes efficient thermal cooling, allowing it to sustain high continuous charging currents without overheating the generator.
System integration and compatibility
This specific model ships without a pulley, providing the technical flexibility to install a custom pulley, such as a multi-groove (serpentine) belt, perfectly aligned with your engine’s mechanical configuration. To fully utilize its capabilities and ensure battery safety (especially for Lithium-Ion banks), this alternator must be paired with an external charge regulator such as the Mastervolt Alpha Pro, which guarantees a 3-stage smart charging cycle and rigorous thermal protection of the system.
