3" Alternator Pulley for Powermaster Alternators
Upgrade your charging system with this 3-inch alternator pulley designed for Powermaster alternators. Increasing the pulley diameter helps slow alternator RPM at higher engine speeds—reducing heat, drag, and wear while maintaining reliable charging performance.
Features:
-
Precision-machined 3" diameter
-
Direct fit for Powermaster alternators
-
Slows alternator speed for improved durability at high RPM
-
Ideal for performance and racing applications
Pulley Ratio Information:
Calculate pulley ratio by dividing the diameter of your crankshaft pulley by the diameter of the alternator pulley.
-
Example: A 7.48-inch crank pulley with a 3-inch alternator pulley yields a 2.49:1 pulley ratio (7.48 ÷ 3 ≈ 2.49).
-
This means the alternator will spin about 18,675 RPM at 7,500 engine RPM.
-
Standard alternators are rated to 18,000 RPM (slightly exceeded in this example).
-
Race alternators are rated to 20,000 RPM (safe).
Perfect for high-revving engines where alternator overspin can become an issue, this pulley helps extend the life of your Powermaster alternator without sacrificing charging performance.
