Zeus A8000-48V 8kW J180 4" Alternator with Isolated Ground

The ARCO Zeus A8000-48V alternator turns on at lower RPMs, runs cooler, and provides more power than other 48V alternators that are larger and heavier. This alternator continuously generates over 3kW (55 Amps)at  2,500 RPM and almost 6kW (111 Amps) at 4,000 Alternator RPM. Put in real-world terms, a marine diesel engine charging at 1,200 RPM with a 3.13:1 pulley ratio is generating just over 5kW (97 Amps), and a Mercedes Sprinter at 750 RPM with a 3.21:1 ratio is generating over 3kW (55 Amps)!

Instead of using rotors designed for 48 volts, many competitor alternators simply use their 12V rotors which is less efficient and limits output at all RPMs. In this scenario, your external smart regulator must drastically reduce field, by as much as 78%. If this is not done correctly, you run the risk of destroying the unit and damaging other components in your system. ARCO utilizes a native 48V rotor and field current. This results in our 48V alternator running cooler than competitor’s 48V alternators, having a direct impact on the alternator’s lifespan.

Nice for raves/festivals
A good set of pre-arranged face jewels. Quick and easy to apply compared to sets that just come with individual pieces meant to be placed one by one. Goes on easy, adheres well. A nice way to spice up a night out.

fun face gems - takes the guesswork on figuring out design of face gems
Simple to put on a nice face gem design. Just peel and stick. You can make it last longer by just doing one side per use instead of applying one whole sheet at once. Doesn't hurt when removing and no irritation afterwards.

Packaged not good
Item is great! Really pretty. Packaged horribly with clear packaging for everyone to see and they got rained on and it went through each one.
