Denso Introduces PowerEdge Alternator

Denso’s PowerEdge is a high-amperage alternator for the medium and heavy duty truck market designed to be smaller, lighter and more efficient. The PowerEdge Alternator will be available in July 2015.

The PowerEdge was made to address the increased electrical requirements for trucks with a more efficient and durable design. Denso offers the PowerEdge in 170-, 185-, 205- and 220-amp versions.

The alternator makes use of Denso’s segmented conductor technology that incorporates a square wire copper stator design. The segmented conductor is designed to be efficient and produces more amps at idle.

The PowerEdge is also equipped with heavy-duty bearings, long-life brush composition, and remote sense technology to prolong battery life. The alternator’s compact and lightweight design also lends itself to easier installation and handling for technicians.

"Medium and heavy duty customers have been looking for a more durable, higher efficiency solution for their growing electrical requirements,” said Fran Labun, vice president of sales at Denso Product and Services Americas. “Denso has responded by introducing the lightest, most efficient alternator in today's market.”
