Balmar Alternator Protection Module APM24 - 24V for Over-Voltage and Surge Protection

Alternator Protection Module APM24 - 24V

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 Alternator Protection Module APM24 is designed to safeguard your 24V alternator from voltage spikes and over-voltage conditions that can occur during lithium battery shutdowns and intermittent connections. This robust, solid-state device effectively clamps voltage surges up to 60V and can handle sustained over-voltage beginning around 20V, ensuring continuous protection for your alternator's diodes and internal voltage regulator. Its capacity to absorb multiple surges exceeding 200 amps makes it a reliable safeguard against electrical faults that could otherwise cause damage or failure.

This compact module is installed easily at the rear of the alternator, positioned between the B+ and B- terminals, and is compatible with all alternator brands. The APM24 features visual and audible alarms that activate if the device detects a compromised state, alerting you to potential issues that require attention. Designed to meet ISO 16750-2 for Load Dump Protection and ISO 7637-2 for Surge Protection, it offers high-level security against electrical disturbances commonly encountered in marine, automotive, and industrial applications.

Built to provide intelligent protection without occupying excessive space, the Balmar APM24 ensures your alternator remains operational and protected in demanding environments. Proper installation and maintenance are essential for optimal performance, and any concerns should be directed to the manufacturer, as returns to the original purchase point may not be accepted. This device is a vital addition for anyone looking to enhance the durability and reliability of their electrical system.
