Solving the problem of needing 2 alternators 12v and 24v

luvrbus · May 05, 2015, 02:57:03 PM

I was working on the Humvee's today and found out they have a dual volt alternator 1 has Niehoff N1224-1-14/28v @ 140/260 amps the other a Niehoff N1228-1-14/28 @ 60/140 amps.

I checked the voltage on the terminals as marked on the alternators 14/28V and they do put out 14/28V, depending on the price it might save you the trouble and hassle of using 2 separate alternators for your conversion just passing it on fwiw

I'd better get three while they're such a deal.

Wow that is a hefty price but the way DC is selling off all the old military equipment it won't be long before Ebay is flooded with military parts

I know where 2 of the alternators will be for sale a lot cheaper than 2800 bucks

Considering we're selling new alternators for about a buck an amp, that's pretty pricey. The biggest alternator I've seen is on 3 axle tractors (military). Use non certified Series 60's and have 400amp alternators @ 28vdc. That works out to be 11,200 watts! Could run a house with them. Our cost on those-$5,600! Nice to know where our tax dollars go. Good Luck, TomC
