I would think manufacturers could make a higher output alt usable for the SVX apllication without needing to spin it faster... I mean it isn't TOO confined space-wise where it is (is it?). Spinning it faster I would think would cut down on its ;ongevity quite a good bit.

They usually get higher outputs at high revs by connecting the stator windings in the "delta" configuration instead of the more user-friendly wye configuration. I have been wondering who makes a good high output alt. that is also connected in the wye configuration, myself.
