Anybody knows what's the duty cycle of the alternator of a Disco 96 ?

It's a 100 Amp Magneti Marelli alternator

Here's the exact part: http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/AMR4247.cfm

I've searched everywhere. Also, the site magnetimarelli.com is of no help at all.

I need to know if it's 100%, 60% or less

any help is appreciated

 

It is whatever you need it to be.
Why do you ask?

According to this it is whatever it needs to be.

But according to this, it could be anything.

It is not uncommon for a stock 100 amp alternator to have a continuous duty cycle of less than 60%. Some aftermarket alternators have 100% duty cycle.

FYI, the information in this link is not correct: http://www.knizefamily.net/minimopar...ield_coil.html

thanks

 

i am about to install a new device in my Disco which draws 30amp so I definitely need to know the duty cycle of my alternator in order not to fry it.
