Just some miscellaneous things we have learned over the yearsPosted By NVU on August 25th, 2021

DIESEL TACHOMETER PPR CALCULATION

SIGNAL CALCULATION:

Given the continual introduction of alternator styles, it is

advisable to determine the PPR of the application before

installation.

 

The PPR calculation is PPR = P*R/2

----------------------------------------------------

"P" is the number of poles in the alternator.

----------------------------------------------------

"R" is the pulley ratio. Determine the pulley ratio by

dividing the crank pulley diameter by the alternator pulley

diameter.

Example:

 
# of poles 18
-------------------------------------------
Crank pulley diameter is 4.5"
-------------------------------------------
Alternator pulley diameter is 2".
-------------------------------------------
PPR = (18*(4.5/2))/2 = 20.25 PPR
