The AuraGen®Induction Power Source provides several distinct advantages over portable gen-
erator systems. These include:
Mobile Power:
With the AuraGen system you have electrical power with you wherever you go with your vehicle.
There is also no output power penalty for changes in altitude or ambient temperature.
Load-Following:
Unlike typical portable generator sets which run at a constant engine speed (usually 3,600 RPM),
the AuraGen systems produces clean, pure sine wave, 60 or 50 Hz electrical power at any en-
gine RPM. The output voltage and frequency will not fluctuate due to momentary or sustained
changes in engine speed.
Use of Automotive Engine:
Automobile engines are more efficient than small utility engines used in portable generators.
Modern electronic fuel injection systems continually optimize the engine performance and fuel
efficiency. The vehicle emission control system and muffler greatly reduce the amount of pollu-
tion and noise produced. The result is more automotive engine produced power, reduced noise,
and less pollution.
Maintenance Free:
“The AuraGen”
Once installed, the AuraGen system is virtually maintenance free. Forget about the daily small
engine maintenance of the carburetor, spark plugs, fuel system and other routine problems
associated with traditional generators. Just have the AuraGen serpentine drive belt inspected
periodically (refer to supplied Service Manual).
