AC or DC alternator

[The copper guy]

Everything you want to run is available in 24v and 36v in Antwerp,
They supply the barges and there boats are floating houses.
It is no big deal to split of 12v for your current requirements,
Better than listening to a gen.

Thru the purchase of a vessel being scrapped, I've acquired a Seapower 5kw AC belt driven alternator system built by Power Technology,Inc. They are apparently no longer in business and I'm having trouble contacting the company that bought the rights to manufacture(MEPS). I'm looking for a Service Manual w/ wiring diagram. The unit was installed in 2000 and has 50 hours on it. Used to power a computer on a small Geophysical Survey boat, it has true sine wave capability.
Alternator Data Plate:
Input: 140 V. 2.0 Amps
Output: 120 V. 3Ph. 27 Amps 200+ Hz.
Control Unit Data Plate:
Input: 120V. 3Ph. 200+ Hz.
Output: 120V. 1Ph. 42Amps 60Hz.
It has a small Pilot house panel that connects to the Control Unit with a 15pin DIN. I "cracked" the case and the architecture looks like computer stuff I used to repair back in the era of the 286!!! Just about everything electronic its made of is available in a DigiKey Catalog.
If anyone hears of a manual or wiring schematic, please give me a heads up.

Sounds like a variable frequency alternator (doesn't care much about rpm) plus an inverter.

Perhaps this gentleman still has his:
