Zeus A8000-48V 8kW 3.15 Alternator with Isolated Ground (Common Rail)

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.

Mediocre salt and pepper grinders
Color: Upgrade Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Pros: They do work, and they are rechargeable. Cons: the motors run really slow, capacity is low, The charging tray you have to empty frequentlyto reduce buildup underneath the salt and pepper grinders.

Excellent Pepper Grinder
Color: Upgrade Black, Size: Rechargeable
I've had several pepper grinders over the years, and none was as easy and smooth to use as this one. It fills easily, and it grinds evenly and smoothly with a gentle press of the button. I am glad there are two, just in case one does give out, I will have the other to use, as I am not interested in grinding salt. It runs so effortlessly that you have to be a little careful when picking it up that you do not accidentally engage the button before you want the pepper to come out. I love it, and came back here after using it for two months just to let you know.

Greatest Kitchen Item I've Bought in Years
Color: Upgrade Black, Size: Rechargeable
These grinders are awesome. No more tedious grinding, or endless shaking! I love the adjustable grind levels (I like mine fairly coarse), and these hold a charge for a long time - months. My friends are super impressed when they visit, and will probably be buying these too.
