* This calculator will not work for extremely long cable lengths.
** Results may change with real wires: different resistivity of material and number of strands in wire
Moblie Generator Altitude Power Rating Factor (NOT WORKING YET!)
|
These apply to altitudes up to 2500m.
Above these altitudes the generator manufacturer should be consulted. The efficiency of an alternator or generator driven by an internal combustion engine diminishes with altitude. Experience has shown this loss to be 3.5% for every 310 metres above 150 metres for normally aspirated engines, 2.5% for turbocharged engines (with or without an air cooler). |
