Linz Electric: Italian-Made Alternators & Rotating Machines — Now for Australia

Short version: Linz Electric S.p.A. builds tough, well-engineered alternators and rotating machines in Italy. If you run gensets, rental fleets, mining, construction, or standby power in Australia, they’re absolutely worth a look.

Origin: Arcole, Verona (Italy) • Group: Pedrollo Group • Focus: Alternators, rotating welders, electronics & accessories • Reputation: “Made in Italy” build quality with global distribution.

Why it matters for Australia

  • Made in Italy engineering: consistent quality, robust components, and tight manufacturing control.
  • Broad power coverage: small portable through to large standby/prime power — common 50 Hz/415 V three-phase setups included.
  • Harsh-site friendly: built for rental, construction, and remote-site duty cycles where downtime is expensive.
  • System thinking: regulators, controls, and accessories to simplify OEM integration and servicing.

Product range (the essentials)

2-Pole Alternators

  • Compact, fast-running (~3000 rpm at 50 Hz).
  • Ideal for portable gensets, light construction, mobile power.

4-Pole Alternators

  • 1500 rpm (50 Hz) designs for higher power and longer life.
  • Suited to standby/prime generators in industrial, commercial and infrastructure settings.

DC Alternators

  • Specialised DC output (2- and 4-pole, low-voltage).
  • Useful for battery charging, hybrid/renewable and niche industrial applications.

Electronics & Accessories

  • AVR/regulators, control electronics, add-ons for smooth integration.
  • Streamlines servicing and parts compatibility for OEMs and fleet owners.

Rotating Welders (AC/DC)

  • 2- and 4-pole configurations for mobile welding rigs.
  • Good fit for construction, maintenance, and mining service crews.

Applications we see in Australia

  • Mining & resources: remote prime power, maintenance welding, rugged rental fleets.
  • Construction & rental: portable gensets, site power, rapid deployment equipment.
  • Commercial/industrial standby: hospitals, data/telecoms, facilities backup.
  • Hybrid/renewables: micro-grids, storage, cogeneration support.

What to check (no sugar-coating)

  • Local support & spares: confirm parts availability and service coverage before large deployments.
  • Compliance: verify relevant AS/NZS requirements, protection schemes, and installation standards.
  • Lead times: plan around import logistics and project deadlines.
  • Integration details: voltage, protection, controls, enclosure/rating — match to your site spec.

FAQ: Linz Electric in Australia

Are Linz Electric alternators “Made in Italy”?

Yes — manufacturing is based in Italy, with engineering and quality control to match.

Do they support 50 Hz, 415 V three-phase?

Yes. That’s standard for Australian installations; confirm specific voltage and winding options per model.

Can they handle harsh environments?

Yes, but spec the right protection, cooling, and enclosure for dust, heat, and duty cycle typical of Australian sites.
