The ARCO Marine Zeus A275L Vortec Alternator with Terminal Block, part number A275L-12-VT-EX-49K6, is a permanent magnetic alternator designed for high energy production in demanding applications. This 12v unit is engineered for marine, RV, military, and commercial use, specifically targeting scenarios requiring rapid charging of large battery banks. It addresses the challenge of insufficient power generation, particularly at lower engine speeds, by providing substantial output even at idle. The A275L features a robust design with heat-shedding coatings, an externally located rectifier, and dual cooling fans, contributing to cooler operating temperatures compared to standard alternators. Its E-Coat/Cerakote finish further aids in thermal management, allowing for sustained amperage output. This alternator is suitable for IT professionals and procurement managers seeking a reliable power solution for systems that replace Mando-type alternators using Vortec/GM pad mounting feet, commonly found on Mercruiser and Volvo Penta marine engines.
This alternator is designed to replace Mando-type alternators that use Vortec/GM pad mounting feet. It is commonly found on GM blocks in many Mercruiser and Volvo Penta 3.0GLM, 3.0GLP, 4.3GXi, 5.7GiL, and 5.7GXiL Marine Engines.
The unit comes with a terminal block and a P-Type harness. Pulley hardware, specifically an M17 x 1.5 x 24mm nut with an 18mm ID x 29mm OD washer, is also included.
Yes, this alternator is designed for external regulation only. It will only function with an external regulator, such as an ARCO Zeus Bluetooth alternator regulator.
The sustained idle output (hot, 3,000 RPM) is 198 Amps. At sustained cruising output (hot, 6,000 RPM), it provides 227 Amps. The maximum output (cold, 9,000 RPM) is 311 Amps.
