6/22/2023 0 Comments 24 volt alternator charging systemUsing alternator charge or ground cables that are too small for the amount of current that the alternator produces may restrict alternator current flow, and in extreme cases, could cause a fire. Using the properly sized alternator charge cables is absolutely necessary for proper charging system performance. Two different alternator pulley diameters are available and can be selected at purchase from the pull down menu, be sure to consult with RED Winches if you are unsure which diamter to use.Ĭlockwise rotation is how they must operate for proper cooling. Ensuring the alternator never goes above 20,000rpm. Please check your crank pulley and calculate what your engine speed can go to. In high RPM racing applications, a less than 3:1 ratio (between crank pulley and alternator pulley) may be desired to prevent the alternator from exceeding it’s maximum recommended operating RPM of 20,000 RPM. RED Winches recomends at least a 150 degree belt wrap on the alternator, ideallly you should aim for as close to 180 degrees or better. If belt slip becomes an issue, a free spinning backside idler pulley must be mounted next to the alternator pulley to force the alternator drive belt to wrap further around the alternator pulley, increasing contact surface area, and drive belt tension at the same time. Please select Pulley size when purchasing from the drop down menu. These alternators come with a 7 grrove pulley of your choice. Four (4) groove serpentine belt driven alternators may also experience belt slip so as mentioned a 6 groove belt or higher is recommended, This 110 amp version may cause belt slip on vehicles with poor alternator pulley belt wrap, or with narrower than 6 groove serpentine drive belts on a 50mm pulley.Īs high performance twin motor winches increase the amount of current required from the batteries / alternator, the strain against the alternator drive belt is also increased. One of the most common problems effecting custom built vehicles is belt slip. To prevent under or over speeding the alternator, always be sure to use the correct alternator pulley diameter is used in high RPM or racing applications. This alternator offers large case alternator performance in a compact package. This alternator supplies a 24v charge to your vehicle system up to 110A Our 24v alternator can now provide your truck / buggy / vehicle with enough charging power for all your high performance winching needs.
