Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of Balmar's 94-Series and 94LY-Series alternators, designed for use with diesel engines. These alternators are suitable for supporting large battery banks and are compliant with U.S. Coast Guard standards for ignition protection.
Specifications: The 94-Series alternators are available in 12-volt and 24-volt models with varying amperage outputs (165A, 210A, and 140A). They feature a 2” Delco-style single foot mount and are designed for external multi-stage voltage regulation. The 94LY-Series is specifically designed for Yanmar 6LY diesel engines, featuring a 3.15” I.D. saddle mount.
Construction and Design: Both series have a ventilated cast aluminum case with a white powder coating. The 94-Series uses a bi-directional external fan for cooling, while the 94LY-Series uses a unidirectional, clockwise rotational fan. Bearings are sealed ball type, with heavy-duty radial and needle bearings.
Performance: The alternators are engineered to optimize output across the diesel powerband, with isolated ground for system continuity. They operate within a temperature range of 180°F to 225°F and have a low RPM cut-in of 1320rpm, with a maximum alternator RPM of 15000rpm.
Dimensions and Connections: Detailed dimensions and terminal connection locations are provided for both series. The 94-Series has a case diameter of 6.0 inches, while the 94LY-Series is slightly larger at 6.4 inches. Both series include B+ positive output, S stator/tach output, F+ external field input, and B- ground terminals.
Output Curves: The document includes output curves for different temperature conditions, illustrating the amperage output at various RPMs for both 12V and 24V models.

94 / 94LY-Series Alternators Balmar’s 94-Series, large case alternators deliver the size and charging output required to support battery banks of up to 800 amp hours at 12 volts or 400 amp hours at 24 volts. Designed expressly for use on diesel engines utilizing a 2” Delco-style single foot mount, these 12-volt and 24-volt alternators are engineered for use with external multi-stage voltage regulation, making it possible to tailor charging voltage to maximize safety and efficiency when charging a variety of battery types. 94LY-Series Alternators Designed expressly for use on Yanmar 6LY diesel engines, these 12-volt and 24-volt alternators are engineered for use with external multi-stage voltage regulation, making it possible to tailor charging voltage to maximize safety and efficiency when replenishing a wide variety of battery types. A 3.15” I.D. saddle style mount enables the 94LY alternator to replace the standard internallyregulated OEM alternator on Yanmar’s 6LY engines, and on other engines with like mounting and belt configurations. Customwound rotor/stator combinations optimize output across the typical diesel powerband. Isolated ground provides sure continuity to system ground. Included in the 94LY-Series alternator family are: 165-amp/12volt; 210-amp/12-volt; and 140-amp/24-volt models. All models meet U.S. Coast Guard Title 33 standards for ignition protection.
