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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBalmar 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis product may not be returned to the original point of purchase.

Built for 12V systems, this robust, solid-state device effectively clamps voltage surges up to 60V and begins to protect against sustained over-voltage conditions starting around 20V, ensuring your alternator's internal components remain secure. The APM12 can absorb multiple surges exceeding 200 amps without failure, providing peace of mind during demanding electrical situations. Visual and audible alarms alert you if the device has been compromised, prompting timely maintenance or replacement, which helps prevent costly damage to your alternator's diodes and internal voltage regulator. The compact design allows easy installation at the rear of the alternator, positioned between the B+ and B- terminals, making it compatible with all alternator brands. This device meets ISO 16750-2 standards for Load Dump Protection and ISO 7637-2 for Surge Protection, ensuring high-quality performance and durability in harsh automotive environments. Protect your electrical system with the reliable, intelligent solution offered by the Balmar APM12, and extend the life of your alternator while maintaining optimal vehicle performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVoltage spike clamping: Protects against surges up to 60V\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOver-voltage protection: Begins at approximately 20V for 12V systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh surge absorption: Capable of handling surges over 200 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAlarm indicators: Visual and audible alerts for compromised device\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompact installation: Easily mounted at the rear of the alternator between B+ and B- terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUniversal compatibility: Suitable for all alternator brands\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStandards compliance: Meets ISO 16750-2 and ISO 7637-2 for load dump and surge protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Balmar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44553386688554,"sku":"92157","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/92157XL.jpg?v=1783662177","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/balmar-alternator-protection-module-apm12-12v-for-over-voltage-and-surge-protection","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
