COMPATTO Series: The Alternator Built to Withstand the Harshest Environments

In the marine sector, reliability and durability aren't optional—they're essential. Whether it’s a leisure boat or a professional system operating in salty, humid, or high-temperature conditions, every component must ensure continuous, long-lasting performance. That’s where the COMPATTO Series from Linz Electric proves its worth.

Structural Toughness for Uninterrupted Operation

The COMPATTO Series alternators are engineered to endure even in the harshest conditions. Their mechanical structure is extremely robust, featuring oversized, life-long lubricated bearings, cast-iron bearing seats, and reinforced rotors designed to withstand the typical stresses encountered in marine or vehicle applications. All this is housed in a compact, lightweight body, ideal for tight installation spaces.

Reliability in marine environments: tropicalization and phenolic coating.

One of the key features that makes the COMPATTO Series ideal for marine applications is its tropicalization process. Every wound part is treated with a phenolic varnish that forms a flexible insulating film, resistant to humidity, salt spray, dust, and chemicals. This makes a significant difference when operating in coastal or tropical environments, where corrosion and condensation are constant challenges.

Stable Performance Under Stress

An electronic regulation system, powered by a galvanically isolated auxiliary winding, is at the core of these alternators' design. Linz Electric’s AVR ensures stable voltage output (with <1% accuracy) even in presence of unbalanced or non-linear loads. This means that even when powering inverters, UPS systems, or other onboard electronics, the alternator maintains consistent performance.

Additionally, the series can withstand overloads of up to 300% of the nominal current for 10 seconds—a key advantage during critical phases such as asynchronous motor startup.

Ideal for Replacements or Custom Installations

Thanks to a design that enables quick coupling without the need to disassemble the flange, the COMPATTO Series is also perfectly suited for retrofit projects and custom generator installations in confined spaces. All parameters: frequency, protection thresholds, and voltage can be easily adjusted via multi-turn trimmers. For the most demanding applications, a fully digital AVR is also available on request.

 

When it comes to marine applications, there’s no room for compromise. The COMPATTO Series is a smartly engineered solution, built with top-tier materials and advanced technologies for those who demand peak performance, even in the most extreme conditions.

Whether it's a private boat, a commercial vessel, or a high-demand vehicle system, the answer is always the same: the COMPATTO Series by Linz Electric.
