Frontier Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) – Detailed Overview

Operating Information:

• 266 RPM: Produces battery voltage.
• 506 RPM: Produces twice (2x) the battery voltage.
• 960 RPM: Produces four times (4x) the battery voltage.

Compatibility:

• Optimized for use with:
  • Set of 9 Raptor Generation 4 Blades and Zinc Plated Hub
  • Falcon 80.5 Inch Diameter 3 Blade and Hub Set

Note: Exclusively designed for wind turbine applications. For hydro, gas engine, and electric motor use, consider our specialized Hydro PMGs.

Why Choose Frontier PMG™ Over Delco Car Alternator PMA?

More Copper = More Power:

• The Frontier PMG features twice as much copper in its stator compared to any Delco style PMA, resulting in greater power output.

No Input Power Required:

• Unlike some modified alternators that consume power to generate power, Frontier PMGs operate purely on wind energy.

Superior Build Quality:

• Thick Aluminum Housing: Includes additional cooling fins and a pressed-in stator, ensuring proper alignment and enhanced durability.
• Secure Mounting: Four mounting holes provide a tight, secure fit against the bracket, unlike the two-hole design of most PMAs.
• Heavy-Duty Bearings: Frontier PMGs are equipped with two robust bearings, unlike the weaker rear bearing found in many alternators and PMAs.
• High-Grade Electrical Steel: Optimized for efficient cooling, reducing the heat buildup common with low-grade, high-iron steel used in other PMAs.

Customer Feedback:

One customer reported exceptional performance, achieving 1040 watts at 45 km/h winds and 2084 watts at 70 km/h winds. The generator begins producing significant power at 25 km/h, rapidly increasing in output with higher wind speeds.

Dual Core PMG Features:

• Made in the USA: Fully assembled domestically for superior quality control.
• Robust Construction: Includes two heavy-duty rectifiers, one hub spacer stabilizer, a skewed stator core, high-grade electrical steel, and heavy-duty copper windings.
• Durable Design: The 17 mm stainless steel shaft is compatible with all Missouri Wind and Solar hubs. The generator features a thick polished aluminum case and a zinc-plated rotor with 28 rare earth neodymium magnets.
• Battery Compatibility: Suitable for charging 12, 24, or 48-volt battery banks.
• Universal Fit: Fits Delco bolt patterns and mounts to standard brackets.
• Dual Bridge Rectifiers: Ensures optimal performance.

Dual Core PMG Specifications:

• Bolt Holes: 3/8″ diameter.
• Mounting Hole Centers: 1 15/16″ apart.
• Dimensions:
  • OD Width: 5 7/8″
  • Height: 6 5/16″
  • Overall Length: 9 1/2″
• Shaft Thread & Size: M17 – 1.25 (metric thread pitch).

Optional Electrical Varnish:

To protect the internal components from rust in saltwater environments, an electrical varnish service is available. This varnish is applied before final assembly to extend the life of the PMG in harsh conditions. Additional handling time is required when selecting this option.
