TOUGH ENVIRONMENTS, NO PROBLEM.

RELIABILITY

Fewer components throughout the range, as well as within individual machines, enhances the reliability of our products.

That’s why, according to the military standard MIL-HDBK-217F, the reliability predictions are a failure rate of just 75.82 fpmh (failures per million hours) and 13,189 hours mtbf (mean time between failures). Standardised components provide a high level of interchangeability and reduces the level of spares needed to be kept on vessels.pe your content here…

MINIMUM MAINTENANCE

Mecc Alte marine alternators are built with low maintenance in mind. Bearings have up to 30,000 hours’ life expectancy, and windings have high degrees of protection. Where maintenance is necessary, access is very simple and the commonality of parts ensures global spares availability.

COMPACT DIMENSIONS

Mecc Alte marine alternators are amongst the most compact and lightweight alternator packages available. Machines are high efficiency, demonstrating the technical processes and advanced design of Mecc Alte products.

REGULATORS

Simplicity and effectiveness are key in our ‘MAUX’ control system. Mecc Alte uses highly reliable DSR and DER AVRs (Digital Simplified and Digital Enhanced Regulators). This makes life simple, as either of these can work on any machine in the Mecc Alte range. They’re highly effective, too, because voltage control up to +/-0.5% is available and both are available for parallel operation.

The DER regulator has more features and includes automatic 3ph sensing and soft start abilities.

These digital regulators bring additional benefits such as finer adjustments, remote monitoring, 3ph/1ph sensing and real-time data logging. Software is supplied by Mecc Alte.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Products are built in accordance with ISO 9001, accredited by RINA; batch and line production and product approvals are also provided by Det Norske Veritas, Bureau Veritas and BKI; approvals are also provided by the Canadian Standards Authority (CSA) and the Underwriters Laboratory (UL).

Designs are executed according to the most common specifications such as CEI 2-3, IEC 34-1, EN 60034-1, VDE 0530, BS 4999-5000, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.14-95 – No.100-95.
