The push to higher horsepower, however, necessitated larger DC generators and in 1971 EMD introduced a new option for the GP38 - an AR10 alternating current (AC) alternator in place of the generator. This was a solution to the space problems encountered by the large generator, because alternators were smaller, yet offered the same electrical capacity.
