Balmar AT & XT Series Alternators

Balmar’s newest XT-Series alternators bring together the latest innovations in alternator design to deliver incredible charging power in a compact, Marine-friendly package and are uniquely designed to deliver greater output and higher efficiency than OEM or traditional S-wound aftermarket alternators.

The New XT-Series Alternator family features a state-of-the-art, braided stator wire design to generate exceptional output in the smallest possible area. The XT-Series produces slightly more power than Balmars previous AT-Series 165A design and operates 5°C-10°C cooler. In addition, Balmar has added Balmar’s Smart Ready® internal regulator technology to provide an additional level of fault tolerance for cruising boaters. Available XT-Series mounting styles have also expanded to include the “Vortec” 9Si design found on many GM petrol engines.

XT-Series alternators are designed for use with Balmar’s multi-stage Max Charge MC-618 voltage regulators, making it possible for these powerful alternators to provide targeted, customisable charging for a wide range of marine battery technologies. XT-Series Alternators feature 96 slots – compared to 36 slots in a traditional S-wound stator – allowing the stator to develop superior electromagnetic energy and efficiency compared to traditional stator designs. The XT-170 and XT-250 are designed to deliver superior performance at idle speeds – up to 128A and 186A, respectively for 12V applications. XT-Series Alternators may require a Tachometer Signal Stabiliser (Part No. BAL.15-TSS) if your current tach is not adjustable.
