Hello,
Looking for 1HZ 24v Alternator

Thank you
 
Not OEM, but I've been using a 24v 60 amp one from Rare Electrical. Available with free shipping directly from them, also can be found on Amazon. You will need a larger bracket, and maybe an electrical plug adapter depending on your truck. Details here:

I saw your post a couple months ago but the Amazon link wasn't working at the time. Did you have to upgrade the wiring to accommodate the 60Amp?

The amazon worked for me, if not, can buy direct from Rare Electrical:

I think this is the same alternator that @Guyute provided the ebay link to and it's $20 cheaper there.

I didn't upgrade the wiring and have had zero issues. Stock wiring should be sufficient for 24v at 60 amps.

interesting. Are you running any accessories.

I have minimal accessories at 24v. I have a 24-12 volt victron converter that I use as a charger for a 12v lithium battery that I use for accessories, all with the correct gage wiring and fuse protection. A better option would be a dc dc charger, but I'm using what I had and have not had any issues. In any case the stock wiring is good for a 12v 30 amp alternator, which is essentially the same as running 60 amps at 24v. And, a standard alternator regulator is never going to put out an alternators stated amperage.

I think you have it the other way around. A 24v at 30 amps is the equivalent of a 12v at 60amps. So if you increase the 24v to 60 amp it would be like a 12v at 120 amps? I dont know just trying to make sense of what you said and what i read on google.

I've worded it poorly, but if the wire is sized to safely handle 30 amps at 12V it can handle 60 amps at 24 volts. The higher the voltage the more amps a given wire size can safely conduct. Of course the length of the circuit matters for voltage drop/wire protection but as an example: If you have 10 AWG wire, and your circuit is 10 feet and you want only a 3% voltage drop then that 10 AWG wire can carry 30 amps at 12v or 60 amps at 24v. Compare the wire gauge charts below and you can see that you need much larger wire to conduct 60 amps at 12v.
