Alternator development for the SNAP 1 power conversion system is described. A radial air-gap permanent-magnet 6-pole single-phase 2600-cps alternator, rated at 536 watts, 0.8 power factor, and 115 volts was selected. Discussion of requirements and specifications, design and performance, test facilities, and conclusions are included. (J.R.D.
