1.                                                         ST Generator Head

ST generator heads are designed to last and to be easy to repair. These heads provide the electrical power for many thousands of third-world villages. They are designed to be run 24/7, month in and month out

This is not your typical consumer generator head that screams along at 3600 rpm. The ST units run at a comfortable 1800 rpm. This fact alone accounts for a huge increase in service life. I have read several accounts of these generator heads supplying power for irrigation pumps in West Texas that have been in service for 30 years or more, many running 24/7. Don’t try that with a consumer generator designed to last 1000 hours (42 days), if you are very lucky! The ST head has a cast iron housing with large ball bearings supporting the rotor at each end. The bearing will last many years, but can be easily replaced with off the shelf bearings available at any bearing supply house. The integral cooling fan is made of metal, unlike the fragile plastic fans found in most generator heads.

What about brushes? We use a brush type head on all of our generators. This is due to years of experience with both brushless and brush type designs. Brushes last a long time, have an indefinite shelf life and are changeable in just a few minutes. The brushes carry a very small amount of power used to excite the armature. They are not carrying the output power from the generator. Don’t confuse these with the short life brushes on your large induction motor chop saw. Not the same thing at all! The brushless design has the excitation electronics riding on the rotor. These parts are subject to extreme G-forces and vibration. They are more likely to fail than brushes, and are very difficult to repair. This is why the automotive industries have stuck with the brush design on auto alternators for the last 50 years.

This unit is equipped with a control box, voltage regulator circuitry, and voltage gage.

We also carry the 6/1, 8/1, 10/1, 14/1 22/1, 12/2 and 20/2 Lister Diesel engines. They are the perfect match for the ST generator heads. If you are not familiar with these engines, do a Google search on “Lister Diesel”. There is a huge amount of information on the Web about these very low speed, long life engines.
