Three-Phase Brushless

Synchronous
Alternators

Based on state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and continuously developed

technology, Hyundai has been manufacturing Synchronous Alternators for its
marine and industrial customers throughout the world for the past 25 years.
Our customers have come to rely on our strict quality control procedures and
on-time delivery programs.

Hyundai Marine-purpose Generators have been widely acknowledged not only

by major world classification societies such as LRS of U.K., ABS of U.S.A., DNV
of Norway, GL of Germany, NK of Japan, CCS China KR of Korea, but also by
leading shipowners around the world.

Hyundai’s quality control system is certified to conform to the Quality Control

System Standard (ISO 9001) and the Environmental Management System
certification (ISO14001).

Hyundai Synchronous Alternators have long been recognized for their

dependability and have been playing a significant role in the world’s marine
vessels and power industries. Hyundai will continue to produce unique
product innovations through continuous product research and development.

Constant Voltage Brushless Synchronous Alternators

Application Excitation system

The constant voltage brushless synchronous The alternator is fitted according to size and
alternator is of a self-excited type with an type with an excitation system with THYRIPART
electronic voltage regulator integrated in the excitation system (load dependent excitation,
excitation unit. compounded with thyristor voltage regulator).
It is used as main and standby units for land This method results in excellent dynamic
based power installations and for marine response to load switching applications and
electrical supplies. Units can be driven by short circuits.
