Balmar Alternator Protection Module APM12 - 12V for Over-Voltage and Surge Protection

Alternator Protection Module APM12 - 12V

Alternators can be subjected to voltage spikes caused by lithium battery shutdowns, intermittent connections, and other over-voltage events. Balmar has introduced a robust Alternator Protection Module which helps to protect the alternators diodes and internal voltage regulator against spikes (clamping up to 60V) and sustained over-voltage conditions (beginning around 20V for the 12V version). The APM can absorb multiple surges of such energy and can absorb surges in excess of 200 amps without failure to continually protect your alternator. Visual and audible alarms indicate if the device has been compromised and needs replacement.

Balmar APM devices provide intelligent, robust, solid-state protection in a small easily mounted package at the rear of the alternator between the B+ and B- terminals. Balmar APM devices can be used to protect all alternator brands. Balmar APM devices meet ISO 16750-2 for Load Dump Protection and ISO 7637-2 for Surge Protection.

The Balmar APM12 Alternator Protection Module is designed to safeguard your vehicle's alternator from voltage spikes and over-voltage conditions that can occur due to lithium battery shutdowns, intermittent connections, or transient surges. Built with robust solid-state technology, this device effectively clamps voltage spikes up to 60 volts and begins to protect against sustained over-voltage conditions starting around 20 volts, ensuring the long-term health of your alternator's diodes and internal voltage regulator. Its durable construction allows it to absorb multiple surges exceeding 200 amps without failure, providing reliable, continuous protection for your electrical system. The APM12 is suitable for all alternator brands and can be conveniently mounted at the rear of the alternator, between the B+ and B- terminals, minimizing installation complexity and space requirements. Visual indicators and audible alarms alert you if the device has been compromised, enabling prompt maintenance or replacement to prevent potential damage. This product complies with ISO 16750-2 for Load Dump Protection and ISO 7637-2 for Surge Protection, ensuring high standards of safety and performance. Protect your alternator investment with the Balmar APM12, a compact yet powerful solution designed for demanding electrical environments and critical power systems.
